Soda Tide ingredients: an A to Z glossary, with a note on baking soda
Quick answer
Soda Tide ingredients are three actives per capsule: chicory root inulin (211 mg), potato resistant starch (100 mg) and a probiotic blend (36 mg) that names three species. The shell and fillers are hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and silica. Baking soda is not named on the label. It is a capsule, not a gummy, drop or tablet. The glossary below explains every word on the panel, A to Z.

What is Soda Tide, in one paragraph?
Soda Tide is a dietary supplement sold as a capsule. The front of the bottle says Metabolic & Digestive Support and 30-Day Supply. One capsule a day, with an 8 oz glass of water, is the printed serving. The label asks you to refrigerate for optimal quality.
It makes three support claims, each with an asterisk that points to the FDA statement: Metabolic & Digestive Support, Supports Appetite Control And Satiety and Promotes Energy Production From Fats. The label is for healthy adults 18 and over. The glossary below covers the words you will meet on the panel.
What does the Supplement Facts panel list?
| Row | Amount per capsule | Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Serving size | 1 capsule | Not applicable |
| Servings per container | 30 | Not applicable |
| Chicory root inulin | 211 mg | Not established |
| Potato resistant starch | 100 mg | Not established |
| Probiotic blend (three species) | 36 mg | Not established |
The three active amounts add up to 347 mg in one capsule. The dagger beside each amount means no Daily Value exists for these ingredients, so the percentage column stays empty by design. That is normal, not a gap.
What do the words on the panel mean, from A to Z?
Akkermansia muciniphila
One of the three named species in the blend. The label gives no strain code.
Bifidobacterium infantis
The first species named in the blend. The label gives no strain code.
CFU
Colony-forming units: a count of live microbes in a serving. Not printed on this label. NIH says CFU counts can fall over time.
Chicory root inulin
A soluble fibre extracted from chicory root. The label lists 211 mg. FDA says it intends to propose adding inulin to its fibre definition.
Clostridium butyricum
The second species named in the blend. The label gives no strain code.
Daily Value
A benchmark percentage. None is set for inulin, resistant starch or a probiotic blend, hence the dagger.
Hypromellose
The material of the vegetarian capsule shell, as the label states.
Magnesium stearate
Listed under other ingredients. The label does not say what it does here, and our sources do not discuss it.
Microcrystalline cellulose
Listed under other ingredients. The label does not say what it does here.
Potato resistant starch
Starch that holds up against digestion in the small intestine. The label lists 100 mg. FDA says it intends to propose adding high-amylose starch to its fibre definition.
Probiotic blend
Live microbes sold under one combined weight. Here 36 mg, with no split between the three species.
Silica
Listed under other ingredients. The label does not say what it does here.
Strain
The exact code that follows a species name. It is what a study tests. Not printed on this label.
Synbiotic
NCCIH’s word for a product that combines probiotics and prebiotics. This capsule has that shape.
Does Soda Tide have baking soda in it?
People ask because the name has the word “soda” in it. Look at the label. The three active ingredients are chicory root inulin, potato resistant starch and a probiotic blend. The remaining ingredients are hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and silica. Baking soda, also called sodium bicarbonate, is not named in either list.
A brand name is not an ingredient list. Names are chosen for sound and feel, and a word in a name does not tell you what is in the bottle. The panel does. If your own bottle shows something different, tell the website desk and call the order desk with the lot code.
Is Soda Tide a capsule, a pill, a gummy or drops?
It is a capsule. The label says capsule, the bottle holds 30 of them, and the shell is a vegetarian one made of hypromellose. It is not a gummy, a tablet, a softgel, a powder or a liquid.
Searches for “Soda Tide gummies”, “Soda Tide drops” and “Soda Tide tablets” point to forms that do not appear in the material we hold. If a page sells you one of those under the Soda Tide name, it is describing something other than this bottle. “Pill” is a casual word and fits a capsule fine.
What does the label leave out?
- Strain codes for each of the three species.
- A CFU count per capsule.
- The split of the 36 mg blend between the three species.
- An allergen statement.
- A best-before date.
- The factory that makes the capsules. The distributor shown on the label is Instituto Experience of Lakeland, Florida.
NCCIH explains why strain codes matter. Different probiotics may have different effects, so a result for one strain does not automatically hold for another. With species but no strains, you can read about the species in general. You cannot match a specific study to this capsule.
How much is 347 milligrams?
About a third of a gram. It is the weight of three actives together, not counting the shell and fillers. The two fibres alone are 311 mg, which is about 0.3 grams. The blend is 36 mg.
We do not compare that with study doses, because the sources we use do not give a dose for this capsule. What we can say is that the numbers are small in everyday terms, and that weight alone does not say how many live microbes the blend holds.
How do you read your own bottle in five minutes?
A glossary is useful when it sends you back to the bottle. Here is a quick routine to check your own against the details on this page.
Read the front
You should see a headline (Advanced Metabolic Science), the name, a support line, 30 capsules, the words dietary supplement and a 30-day supply line.
Find the panel on the side
Check for one capsule as the serving, 30 servings, 211 mg, 100 mg and 36 mg, and the three species named.
Look for what should be missing
There should be no CFU count and no strain code. If you see one, you have something we have never seen. Tell the website desk.
Read the other ingredients
Look for hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and silica. Check them against your own allergies.
Check the lot and the seal
Note the lot code, compare it with SOD-26/SO-3431 and make sure the safety seal is intact.
If every item matches, you are holding the bottle this site describes. If one does not, it does not mean something is wrong. Stock changes. But it does mean the pages here describe a different batch, so ask the order desk what it shipped.

Our view
The panel gives more than the front of the bottle suggests. It gives a weight for each active, and it names three species. The two things it keeps back are the strain codes and the live count, and those are the two that matter most for a probiotic.
A glossary cannot answer whether the capsule works. It can help you read the bottle without guessing, so that nobody can sell you a word in place of a fact.
If anything on your bottle looks different from this glossary, trust the bottle, and tell us.
