Is there cinnamon in Cinna Harmony?
No. Despite the name and the cinnamon sticks on the front, the Cinna Harmony Supplement Facts list no cinnamon at all.
Cinnamon and cassia appear nowhere, not even among the other ingredients.
That matters less than it sounds. NCCIH says it is unclear whether cinnamon supplements help diabetes (NCCIH, 2024). Our article on whether there is cinnamon in Cinna Harmony covers the name in more depth.
Cinna Harmony chromium: 0.7 mcg of chromium picolinate
Each 1 ml of Cinna Harmony gives 0.7 mcg of chromium as chromium picolinate, which is 2% of the Daily Value.
Adults need about 20 to 35 mcg a day, depending on age and sex (NIH ODS, 2022). Diabetes trials used about 200 to 1,000 mcg a day.
So the label amount is about 1/300 to 1/1,400 of trial doses. Pooled trials in people with diabetes saw HbA1c fall about 0.55 points, often at more than 200 mcg (Suksomboon et al., 2014). Other reviewers advise against chromium for blood sugar control (Landman et al., 2014).
What is in the Cinna Harmony 200 mg proprietary blend?
The Cinna Harmony blend names 22 ingredients under one 200 mg total. The label does not say how much of each one is inside.
Split evenly, each would get about 9 mg per ml, though the real split is not printed. The table groups the 22 names by type.
| Blend ingredients | Group | What the cited research says |
|---|---|---|
| Gymnema, Panax ginseng (aerial), African mango | Blood sugar and weight research | Small studies at far larger doses (LiverTox (NIDDK), 2024) |
| Guarana, green tea | Caffeine sources | Add caffeine; the amount is not printed (NCCIH, 2025) |
| Coleus forskohlii, capsicum, raspberry ketones, grapefruit | Weight-loss style extracts | Little or no proof of weight change (NIH ODS, n.d.) |
| Maca, eleuthero, astragalus | Roots from traditional use | Limited human data; none proven for blood sugar (NCCIH, 2025) |
| Grape seed extract | Seed extract | No source in our list tested it for blood sugar |
| Monoammonium glycyrrhizinate | Licorice compound | Can raise blood pressure in larger amounts (NCCIH, 2025) |
| L-glutamine, L-tyrosine, L-arginine, beta-alanine, GABA, L-ornithine, L-tryptophan, L-carnitine | Amino acids and related compounds | L-arginine might lower blood pressure and blood sugar (Mayo Clinic, 2026) |
Which Cinna Harmony ingredients are linked to blood sugar research?
Three Cinna Harmony blend ingredients have human blood sugar studies: gymnema, Panax ginseng and African mango. None was tested in these drops.
Gymnema leaf extract
In a 12-week trial, 600 mg a day did not change insulin sensitivity (Zuniga et al., 2017).
Panax ginseng aerial extract
Across 16 trials, ginseng lowered fasting blood sugar slightly but did not change HbA1c (Shishtar et al., 2014). Cinna Harmony uses the aerial parts, not the root.
African mango seed extract
One trial gave 150 mg of a branded extract twice a day for 10 weeks (Ngondi et al., 2009). A later review found the trials small and poorly reported (Onakpoya et al., 2013).
On diabetes medicine? Gymnema, ginseng and chromium may lower blood sugar. Taken with insulin or diabetes pills, they could push it too low (NCCIH, 2025). Talk to your doctor first.
Does the “Inside Cinna Harmony” graphic show every ingredient?
No. The seller graphic shows six tiles, while the Cinna Harmony label has 23 ingredient lines in total.
The other 17 sit unseen in the blend.
- Shown: chromium, gymnema, African mango, green tea, maca, Panax ginseng.
- Not shown: guarana, grape seed, eleuthero, astragalus, coleus, capsicum and grapefruit.
- Also missing: raspberry ketones, the licorice compound and eight amino acids and related compounds.
Which Cinna Harmony ingredients add caffeine or licorice?
Guarana and green tea add caffeine to Cinna Harmony, and monoammonium glycyrrhizinate is a licorice compound. No amount is printed for any of them.
Too much caffeine can cause a fast heartbeat, shakiness and poor sleep (FDA, 2024). Green tea extract is also a rare cause of liver injury (LiverTox (NIDDK), 2020).
Glycyrrhizin from licorice can raise blood pressure and lower potassium in larger amounts (NCCIH, 2025).
Blood pressure and liver. If you have high blood pressure, or heart or kidney disease, ask a doctor before use. Stop and call a doctor if you notice dark urine or yellow skin.
Are the Cinna Harmony doses close to the research?
Mostly no. Chromium sits far below trial doses, and every herb shares a 200 mg total.
Each step on the log-scale meter is ten times larger. More detail is in our article on gymnema, chromium and African mango study doses.

Cinna Harmony amount dose range used in human studies (log scale)
What this means. No study has tested the finished Cinna Harmony drops. The research covers single ingredients, usually at much higher doses.
What are the other ingredients in Cinna Harmony drops?
Nine inactive ingredients make up the liquid: glycerin, water, organic lemon extract, stevia extract 97% (Reb A), xylitol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, citric acid and natural flavors.
No sugar is listed: stevia and xylitol sweeten the drops. Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate are preservatives.
Pet owners. Xylitol can drop a dog’s blood sugar fast (FDA, 2025). Keep the bottle and any spills away from pets.

Cinna Harmony ingredients: common questions
Questions people type into Google and Bing, answered from the label and the sources on this page.
What are the ingredients in Cinna Harmony?
Each 1 ml lists chromium 0.7 mcg plus a 200 mg blend of 22 ingredients, from maca and gymnema to guarana and eight amino acids and related compounds.
How much chromium is in Cinna Harmony?
0.7 mcg per 1 ml, as chromium picolinate, which is 2% of the Daily Value.
Does Cinna Harmony contain caffeine?
Yes, some. Guarana and green tea both carry caffeine, but the label prints no amount.
What is monoammonium glycyrrhizinate?
A compound made from licorice root. In larger amounts, licorice can raise blood pressure and lower potassium.
Is the gymnema in Cinna Harmony enough to work?
Its share is not printed. One trial used 600 mg a day, three times the whole 200 mg blend.
What is African mango seed extract used for?
Mostly weight and metabolic support. Its main trial used 150 mg of one branded extract twice a day, and reviewers rated the evidence poor.
Why does a blood sugar supplement have raspberry ketones?
The label does not say. Raspberry ketone is sold for weight loss, with no evidence that it is safe or effective for that.
Does Cinna Harmony contain sugar or xylitol?
No sugar is listed. Stevia and xylitol sweeten it, and xylitol is toxic to dogs.
Is grapefruit extract safe with medications?
The FDA warning covers grapefruit juice, not extracts. If a medicine of yours has a grapefruit warning, ask your pharmacist first.
Is Cinna Harmony gluten free or vegan?
The label makes no gluten-free or vegan claim. Ask the order desk if either matters to you.
