Isn't this Cassia cinnamon, and doesn't cassia have high levels of Coumarin?

I really have no idea. I see an 800 phone number for Frontier on the front of the package, why don't you call and ask them?

Yes, this is cassia cinnamon. I'm not sure about the coumarin so you'll have to Google that.

Yes, this Vietnamese Cinnamon is also called Saigon Cinnamon and it has the highest amount of Coumarin of all the 4 Cinnomomum species. Higher levels of Couarin can be hard on the liver and kidneys. This is a link to reference: ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saigon_Cinnamon ) If you're concerned about the negative health impact and want an alternative look into "True Cinnamon" known as Ceylon Cinnamon ( Cinnamomum Zeylanicum or Cinnamomum Verum ).

It is "true" cinnamon, but not Ceylon. Cassia cinnamon is less expensive, and some doctors advise against it.

The label reads, "does not contain coumarin." (spelled exactly as written on the label)

ALL cinnamon is cassia (false cinnamon) unless specifically stated. Genuine cinnamon is CEYLON and will say so on the label and reflect it in the price tag as it is significantly more expensive and has no issues with coumarin which can be toxic to the liver. True cinnamon is the bark of a tree native to Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), the most prevalent species names of which are Cinnamomum verum ("true cinnamon") and C. zeylanicum ("Ceylon cinnamon"), of which C. seylanicum is a variant spelling. In Europe, the word "cinnamon" is limited to this species. In other words , in the US we eat the fake stuff and in Europe they eat the real stuff.

It doesn't say anything about it on the label, but Saigon cinnamon is Cassia Cinnamon and Cassia naturally contains a fair amount of coumarin. What I read said that Ceylon Cinnamon contains hardly any coumarin. This quote is from Wikipedia: "One teaspoon of cassia cinnamon powder therefore contains 5.8 to 12.1 mg of coumarin, which may be above the tolerable daily intake value for smaller individuals."

All cinnamon contains coumarin. This is cassia cinnamon and therefore contains more than ceylon (true) cinnamon. Over-consumption can lead to liver damage, I've read. And those who are sensitive to coumarin should generally avoid cassia. As I understand it, this is the type of cinnamon that Cinnabon uses. I've used it for years with daily consumption in oatmeal and higher amounts in zucchini bread, cookies, and cinnamon rolls. I've had no negative effects. I've fed my infant oatmeal with this cinnamon in it before and she is perfectly fine. Don't use it in those diet fads or in high amounts with coffee.

It is "Pure cinnamon leaf oil". That is the only ingredient. It is very strong in my opinion. A little bit goes a long way. I hope this helps.

On January 7 2015, I wrote the following to info@olivenation.com : "Hello, Is your cinnamon oil from cassia? Or genuine cinnamon? Thank you in advance for your reply. Ann Childers, MD" The same day I received the following answer: "Hi It is from the leaf of the cassia cinnamon plant. Thank you. Amit." So it is cassia, and not true cinnamon. I hope this is helpful. If you locate genuine cinnamon oil, please post. Thank you!

This is not marked organic and I assume it isn't. Also, other than its country of origin, it doesn't specify its contents. After a little research on the internet, it seems Saigon cinnamon comes from cassia bark which is a relative of "true cinnamon" trees. Cassia has been known to contain higher amounts of toxins than cinnamon and ceylon (another spice often marketed as cinnamon). So, use it sparingly, particularly with the very young and very old or those with liver problems. I have been using this stuff for years (even a daily bowl of oatmeal with cinnamon) to no ill-effect.

According to the label, the only cinnamon contained is cinnamonum verum, which is Ceylon cinnamon. I have used Swansons products for.20 years and trust the brand.

No this is not ceylon, but you can buy at Penzey's Spices on line, more expensive and more the true cinnamon but I have no health problems to be concerned about with Canela Molida. Tones has always provided great spices at a fair price and this cinnamon is very fine, sweet smelling and has a great taste and much better taste than cinnamon I have bought in grocery stores.

I looked on the bottle and all it says is organic cinnamon.Sorry I couldn't help.

I believe the capsule containing the actual cinnamon certainly would be some kind of gelatin or gelatin compound. The cinnamon itself does not.

this label says 'cinnamon cassia bark 1000mg per 2 capsules serving' as for coumarin, you may be right, I've not done the research, but, along with taking garlic tabs, I am noticing more brisk bleeding from my infrequent, minor scrapes...

the cinnamon is, of course, from Ceylon. It is packaged in Issaquah, Washington. It is probably also put into the 100% vegetarian cellulose capsules in WA - information from the GreenPacks label.

It doesn't say on the bottle but I have red the ingredients I see no animal products add. It does say gelatin but doesn't say what that is made of. Cinnamon is cinnamon cassia bark. Hope this helps.
