Chicory Root Inulin
Cichorium intybus (root) 211 mg per capsuleThe largest single component of the capsule, and one of the best-characterised prebiotic fibres there is — studied at amounts roughly twenty-five to fifty times larger.
Learn moreSodaTide is a once-daily capsule combining two prebiotic fibres with a three-strain probiotic blend, designed to support digestive comfort, appetite regulation and steady daily energy. This is an independent look at what the capsule actually contains — with the per-capsule amounts read straight from the label.
A dietary supplement intended to support everyday wellness alongside a balanced diet and regular activity. Individual results may vary, and no outcome is guaranteed. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and not a treatment for obesity, diabetes or any digestive condition.
The most informative document available for this product, and the reason this site can publish figures the sales page could not.
What the panel establishes: serving size one capsule; 30 servings per container; chicory root inulin (Cichorium intybus, root) 211 mg; potato resistant starch (tuber) 100 mg; probiotic blend 36 mg comprising Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum and Akkermansia muciniphila; daily value not established for any of the three. Other ingredients: hypromellose (vegetarian capsule), microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and silica. Suggested use: one capsule daily with an 8 oz glass of water, refrigerate for optimal quality. Distributed by Instituto Experience, Lakeland FL; made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients.
The seller asked the right question and could not answer it. The label answers it.
The seller's own page is careful about this, and deserves credit for it. It states that “no per-capsule milligram amounts and no CFU count were published on the pages we reviewed”, that the other two probiotic strains are not disclosed, and that it will not invent a number it cannot read on a label. That is the right instinct, and it is rarer than it should be.
But the product label does publish them. The Supplement Facts panel on the bottle carries the milligram amounts and names all three strains. Here is what it declares, read directly from the label:
The three probiotic strains, also named in full on the label: Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum and Akkermansia muciniphila. The sales page names only the third.
Why this matters more than it might seem. The reference asked exactly the right question and could not answer it: it noted that fibre trial doses are “measured in grams per day — a lot to fit into one capsule”. With the label in hand the comparison can finally be completed, and the answer is that 211 mg of inulin is roughly one twenty-fifth to one fiftieth of a studied prebiotic dose, and 100 mg of resistant starch is roughly one hundred-and- fiftieth to one three-hundredth of one.
That is not a scandal and it is not concealment — the numbers are printed on the bottle. It is a physical constraint: fibre is bulky, and a single small capsule cannot hold a gram-scale dose of it. Anyone eating a bowl of oats, a pear or a serving of beans is taking in several grams of fermentable fibre. It is the fact that matters most when judging what one capsule a day can realistically do.
The label declares the probiotic blend by weight — 36 mg. That is the one number on the panel that cannot be interpreted.
Probiotics are dosed in colony forming units, not milligrams. A CFU count measures how many live organisms you are actually swallowing. A weight tells you how much powder is in the capsule, and that powder is mostly carrier material. Two products both declaring 36 mg could differ by several orders of magnitude in live organisms, and nothing on the label distinguishes them.
Typical probiotic research uses doses in the region of one to fifty billion CFU a day, and trials report the figure because it is the variable that matters.
What this means practically: the strains are named, which is genuinely better than most blends manage, but the amount of live culture cannot be established from any published source. That is a fair question to put to the seller before ordering a six-month supply.
Everything below is read from the product label or stated by the seller.
The problem the product is aimed at is real, even where the dose is small.
Common guidance puts adult fibre intake somewhere around 25 to 38 grams a day depending on age and sex. Typical intake in many countries is roughly half that.
That shortfall genuinely does affect digestion, regularity, satiety and the shape of the blood-sugar curve after eating — the exact list SodaTide is sold against. So the target is well chosen.
The honest complication is scale. A cup of cooked beans supplies something like 12 to 15 grams of fibre. A pear with the skin on, about 5. This capsule supplies 311 mg of fibre in total. It is not a substitute for food, and no capsule is.
SodaTide is a once-daily vegetarian capsule sold as support for metabolic and digestive wellness. One capsule, thirty to a bottle, taken with a glass of water.
The premise is narrower and more specific than most products in this aisle, and it is worth stating fairly: instead of stimulants or appetite suppressants, it feeds the bacteria already in your colon and adds three live strains of its own. Prebiotic fibre plus probiotics is a recognised approach, sometimes called a synbiotic.
That is a more defensible starting point than a thermogenic diet pill. The question this site answers is whether the amounts on the label can deliver it — and unusually, the label lets us check.
What the label declares
The seller's page says clearly that per-capsule amounts and the CFU count were not published on the pages it reviewed, and that it would not invent a number it could not read on a label. That restraint is correct and deserves credit.
But the label does publish them. The Supplement Facts panel carries the milligram amounts and names all three probiotic strains, not just the one the sales page mentions.
That single document changes what a buyer can know. It turns an unanswerable question — is there enough in here to matter? — into simple arithmetic against the published research.
One capsule, once a day, with a full glass of water. The seller suggests the morning, before eating, so the fibre is in place ahead of the day's meals. The label adds one more instruction that is easy to miss: refrigerate for optimal quality.
There is nothing to measure and no schedule to follow, which matters for a product whose own rationale is that microbiome change takes weeks. The most common reason supplements do nothing is that people stop taking them.
Plan the refrigeration before you order. Six bottles is 180 days of fridge space, shipping is not refrigerated, and a capsule you must keep cold is harder to take consistently when you travel.
Three components, each with the amount the label declares and a page of its own.
The largest single component of the capsule, and one of the best-characterised prebiotic fibres there is — studied at amounts roughly twenty-five to fifty times larger.

A starch that escapes digestion and ferments further along the colon than inulin — and the ingredient with the widest gap between label amount and research amount.

Three strains named in full on the label, including one of the most interesting organisms in metabolic research — with no CFU count anywhere.
Learn moreThe mechanism the seller describes is coherent. Here it is, with the caveats attached.
Inulin and resistant starch both resist digestion in the small intestine and arrive in the colon still whole, where resident bacteria ferment them. This is well-established physiology, not a marketing construct.
Chiefly butyrate, propionate and acetate. Butyrate is the primary fuel for the cells lining the colon, and short-chain fatty acids are linked in research with the gut hormones GLP-1 and PYY, which are involved in fullness signalling.
The caveat: that research used gram-scale fibre doses. 311 mg of combined fibre produces correspondingly little fermentation.
This is the most thoughtful part of the formula. Inulin ferments early and briskly; resistant starch ferments later and further along the colon. Pairing them spreads the feeding rather than concentrating it — a real formulation decision.
That is the synbiotic idea, and it is sound in principle. The three strains here are named on the label — Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum and Akkermansia muciniphila.
The caveat: no CFU count is published, so how many live organisms arrive is unknown.
Every step above is real biology. What none of it establishes is that 347 mg once a day is enough to move any of it measurably. The finished capsule has never been through a clinical trial, and the ingredient research was conducted at doses ten to three hundred times larger.
The seller links to genuine sources — the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, the NCCIH and PubMed searches on inulin, resistant starch and Akkermansia. Those are real bodies of research and the links are honest ones.
It also states, correctly, that those citations concern the ingredient categories rather than the finished product, and that SodaTide has not been through a clinical trial of its own.
The piece to hold on to is the amounts. That research was conducted at grams per day of fibre. This capsule contains 347 mg of active material in total. The research explains why these ingredients are interesting. It does not show that this capsule reproduces the results.
Three things genuinely in the product's favour, and three worth knowing before you buy.
Most probiotic blends name none. This one names all three on the panel, including Akkermansia muciniphila — that is better disclosure than the category norm.
Every per-bottle rate, total, struck price, saving and percentage reconciles exactly against a $179 regular price. That is not always the case here.
It discloses its own commission, publishes no star rating, calls its testimonials unverified, and states correctly that FDA registration is not approval.
211 mg and 100 mg against research conducted at 5–10 g and 15–30 g a day. That gap is the single most important fact here.
The probiotic blend is declared by weight. Weight cannot tell you how many live organisms you are getting, and nothing published closes that gap.
60 days, but with a 30-day minimum use period first. The practical window to act is days 30 to 60.
Four claims stated exactly as the label and the seller state them.
The badge is worded accurately: registered facility, not approved product. Registration is a listing requirement for the plant.
Good Manufacturing Practice governs cleanliness, records and batch control. It concerns the plant and the process, not the formula.
The label's fuller wording is “made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients” — manufacturing is domestic, raw materials are not necessarily.
This is the seller's own claim rather than a third-party certification, and no certifying body is named.
None of these is a statement about whether the formula works. They describe where and how it is made.
This is a point where the reference gets it right, and it is worth repeating rather than correcting. Its own wording is: produced in an FDA-registered US facility, and “supplements are not FDA-approved — registration applies to the facility, not to the product.”
That is accurate. Facility registration is a listing requirement for the plant where a product is made. It is not an evaluation, an endorsement, or approval of anything made there. The supplied badge is worded accurately too — it reads “FDA Registered Facility”, not “FDA approved” — which is why it is used on this site.
The same applies to GMP. Good Manufacturing Practice concerns how a facility is run — cleanliness, record keeping, batch control. It is meaningful and worth having. It says nothing about whether a formula works or whether the amounts are useful.
The seller's page includes a trust badge reading “Doctor-formulated gut formula”, and a matching seal.
No physician, researcher or formulator is named anywhere in the seller's material. The explanatory text beneath that badge does not mention a doctor either — it says the formula is “built around recognised prebiotic fibres and probiotic strains rather than stimulants or diuretics”, which is a description of the ingredients, not of who designed them.
An unnamed doctor is not a verifiable credential, so the claim is not repeated here, and the two supplied photographs of people in clinical and professional dress are not used. Everything else on the seller's quality section — US manufacture, GMP procedures, vegetarian capsules, lactose-free, the FDA-registration wording — is carried forward as stated.
Credit first, because it is earned. The seller's page discloses its own affiliate commission, publishes no star rating, states plainly that the testimonials are manufacturer-supplied and not independently verified, warns that fibre trial doses are measured in grams per day, explains that FDA registration is not FDA approval, notes that the finished product has never been through a clinical trial of its own, and warns that prebiotic fibre commonly causes gas in the first week. That is a considerably more honest page than this category usually produces.
What this site adds: the per-capsule amounts and all three probiotic strain names, read from the product label — which the seller's page says it could not find — and the arithmetic those numbers make possible.
What this site does not carry forward: the “doctor-formulated” claim, since no doctor is named; the “100% natural ingredients” seal, since the label lists manufactured excipients; the “100% support guaranteed” seal, since no such commitment is defined; and the named testimonials, portraits and staged customer photographs, since none of them can be verified.
No rating appears anywhere on this site or in its structured data.
The label says: “Refrigerate for optimal quality”, and to keep the bottle away from heat, light and humidity. The seller repeats the instruction and explains it correctly: live probiotic organisms lose viability faster when warm.
Credit where it is due. Asking buyers to refrigerate is a live-culture instruction rather than a marketing flourish, and it is a point in the product's favour that it is stated at all — plenty of probiotic products quietly skip it.
The practical consequences are worth thinking about before you buy:
The seller's framing is fair: microbiome change is gradual, fibre and probiotic trials usually run four to twelve weeks before measuring anything, and it asks you to judge the product over several weeks of consistent use rather than a few days.
Hold that against the label. 347 mg of total active material, against research conducted at gram-per-day doses. A realistic expectation is that you may notice some digestive change in the first week — most likely gas, as any fibre supplement produces — and comparatively little beyond that.
What to do instead of hoping: decide in advance what you would actually notice, note where it stands before you start, change one thing at a time, and diarise both guarantee dates — day 30, when you may request a refund, and day 60, when the right expires.
The label's own caution is the right starting point: do not exceed the recommended dose, and pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18 and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.
SodaTide is a dietary supplement, not a medicine, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
SodaTide is a dietary supplement, not a treatment for any medical condition. It is not a treatment for obesity, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease or any other digestive or metabolic condition, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. The seller states this clearly, and so does this site.
Some symptoms need a doctor rather than a supplement, and this is worth being specific about. Sudden or unexplained weight loss, persistent abdominal pain, blood in the stool, a lasting change in bowel habit, or difficulty swallowing all need clinical assessment. So does persistent fatigue, which has causes a blood test can find — anaemia, thyroid disease, coeliac disease, diabetes and sleep apnoea among them.
A prebiotic capsule cannot distinguish between ordinary bloating and something that needs investigating. A doctor can.
There is an unusually direct comparison available for this product, and it would be dishonest to leave it out.
Most adults eat far less fibre than recommended. Common guidance is somewhere around 25–38 grams a day depending on age and sex, and typical intake in many countries is roughly half that. That shortfall is the single biggest lever on exactly the things this product is sold for: digestion, regularity, satiety and post-meal blood sugar.
For scale: a cup of cooked beans or lentils supplies somewhere in the region of 12–15 grams of fibre. A pear with the skin on, around 5 grams. A bowl of oats, roughly 4 grams. A cooled cooked potato — the very source this product's resistant starch comes from — supplies resistant starch in grams.
Against those figures, 311 mg of combined fibre is a rounding error. That is not an argument that the capsule is worthless; a probiotic dose is a different proposition from a fibre dose. It is an argument that no capsule substitutes for food, and that anyone buying this for digestive benefit will get far more from adding beans, oats, fruit and vegetables than from anything in a 347 mg capsule.
Sleep, movement and total diet do the heavy lifting. The seller says something close to this itself, and it is right.
The three bundles the seller lists. Every figure below is theirs, and the arithmetic reconciles on all of them.
$358 → $158 total
Seller states a saving of $200 (56%)
$1074 → $294 total
Seller states a saving of $780 (73%)
$537 → $207 total
Seller states a saving of $330 (61%)
Arithmetic verified. $79×2=$158, $69×3=$207 and $49×6=$294. The stated regular price of $179 a bottle agrees with every struck-through total ($179×2=$358, $179×3=$537, $179×6=$1074), all three savings are exact ($200, $330 and $780), and the advertised percentages round correctly. That internal consistency is worth noting, because plenty of comparable pages fail it. Free US shipping applies to the three- and six-bottle bundles only — the two-bottle bundle adds shipping at checkout, and it is also the only tier that does not include the six digital bonuses. These are current listed offers rather than permanent prices; the official checkout is the only authoritative source.
The seller states a 60-day money-back guarantee from the date of purchase. It is the clearest commercial commitment on the page, and the seller also states that the purchase is one-time with no automatic rebill.
The seller asks that you use the product for at least 30 days before requesting a refund, then contact support inside the 60-day window.
Read those two conditions together and the practical window to act is days 30 to 60 — about 30 days wide, not 60. That is not unreasonable for a product whose own rationale is that microbiome change takes weeks, but it is narrower than the headline number suggests, and it is easy to miss.
Only the two-bottle bundle is a 60-day supply and fits inside the guarantee at all. The three-bottle bundle runs 90 days and the six-bottle bundle 180 days — three times longer than the window.
Put day 30 and day 60 in your calendar the day you order. Two things the published terms do not settle: who pays return postage, and whether opened bottles are accepted.
Fifteen straight answers, including the amounts the sales page could not provide.
SodaTide is a once-daily vegetarian capsule sold as support for metabolic and digestive wellness. It pairs two prebiotic fibres with a three-strain probiotic blend. Thirty capsules per bottle, a 30-day supply.
Read from the product label: chicory root inulin 211 mg, potato resistant starch 100 mg, and a probiotic blend of 36 mg containing Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum and Akkermansia muciniphila. Total active material is 347 mg. Full breakdown here.
Because the label publishes them. The seller's page states that per-capsule amounts and the CFU count were not available on the pages it reviewed — a careful and honest thing to say. The Supplement Facts panel on the bottle does carry the milligram amounts and names all three strains, so they are reproduced here.
Not much, and this is the key fact. Prebiotic inulin trials typically use 5–10 grams a day; resistant starch studies typically use 15–30 grams. This capsule has 211 mg and 100 mg. Fibre is bulky, and no single small capsule can hold a gram-scale dose.
Not published anywhere, including on the label. The blend is declared by weight (36 mg), and weight cannot be converted to colony forming units. This is the one gap the label does not close.
The label says take one capsule daily with an 8 oz glass of water. The seller recommends the morning, preferably before eating. One capsule a day, thirty per bottle.
Yes — the label says “Refrigerate for optimal quality.” Live probiotic organisms lose viability in heat. Worth planning for: a six-bottle bundle is 180 days of fridge space, and shipping is not refrigerated.
Yes. The capsule shell is hypromellose, a plant-derived material, and the seller describes the product as vegetarian and lactose-free.
Three: two bottles at $79 each ($158), three at $69 each ($207), and six at $49 each ($294). Free US shipping applies to the three- and six-bottle bundles only.
60 days from purchase — but the seller asks you to use the product for at least 30 days first. The practical window to request a refund is therefore days 30 to 60, about 30 days wide.
No, and no dietary supplement is. The seller states this correctly itself: the product is made in an FDA-registered facility, and registration applies to the facility rather than the product.
No. Individual results may vary. SodaTide has not been through a clinical trial of its own, and the research the seller cites concerns the ingredient categories rather than the finished capsule.
Possibly, in the first week. That is the normal response to any prebiotic fibre as gut bacteria adjust, and the seller discloses it honestly. If you have IBS or follow a low-FODMAP diet, note that inulin is a fructan.
The label states it is made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients, and the seller describes an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility. It is distributed by Instituto Experience of Lakeland, Florida.
