Three declared components, with the per-capsule amounts and all three probiotic strain names read directly from the product label — the check the available material told readers to make for themselves.
The Supplement Facts panel is the legally required declaration of what is in the capsule. It is also what settles both open questions here: how much of each ingredient there is, and how many ingredients there actually are.
Worth reading before you decide, because it is the crux of the product.
The material this site draws on is unusually candid about its own limits. It states that SodaTide's official website was not accessible, that its details come from a third-party review and the packaging, that it could not cross-check the formula against an accessible official label — and it tells readers to verify against the physical bottle.
That is what this site did. The product label carries a full Supplement Facts panel, and it answers the open question. Read directly from it:
The three strains, named on the label beneath the blend: Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum and Akkermansia muciniphila.
Why the amounts change the picture. Without them, an ingredient list cannot be checked against anything. With them, the comparison is arithmetic: 211 mg of inulin is roughly one twenty-fifth to one fiftieth of a studied prebiotic dose, and 100 mg of resistant starch roughly one hundred-and-fiftieth to one three-hundredth of one.
That is not concealment — the figures 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. A bowl of oats, a pear or a serving of beans supplies several grams of fermentable fibre. It is the fact that matters most when judging what one capsule a day can realistically do.
The source material describes “6 ingredients” and lists them as: chicory root inulin, potato resistant starch, probiotic blend, Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum and Akkermansia muciniphila.
Items four, five and six are item three. They are the three strains that make up the probiotic blend, not three further ingredients standing alongside it. Counting them separately counts the same material twice.
The label settles it. The Supplement Facts panel declares three line items — inulin, resistant starch and the probiotic blend — with the three strain names indented beneath the blend, which is the standard way a blend and its constituents are printed.
This is a counting slip rather than a false claim, and it is easy to make. But “six ingredients” makes a formula sound twice as substantial as it is, so this site says three throughout, and names all three strains inside the blend where they belong.
The label declares the probiotic blend by weight — 36 mg. That is the one figure 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 actually swallow. 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 published 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 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 six months' worth.

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 in one declared blend — not three separate ingredients, which is where the “six ingredients” count comes from. No CFU count is published anywhere.
Learn moreThese three are not separate ingredients — they are the contents of the 36 mg probiotic blend, named on the label beneath it.
What is still missing: strain designations and a CFU count. For probiotics, the strain code — the letters and numbers after the species name — is what ties a product to a particular study, because different strains of the same species behave differently. Neither is published anywhere.
Naming three species is nonetheless better disclosure than most probiotic blends manage.
The source singles out Akkermansia muciniphila as “a well-studied strain associated with gut barrier support — not present in every gut-health formula”. That is a fair characterisation and worth agreeing with.
Akkermansia lives in the mucus layer lining the gut and feeds on mucin, the protein that layer is made of. By grazing on it, it appears to stimulate its renewal. Observational studies repeatedly find lower abundance in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and a small number of human intervention studies have reported improvements in metabolic markers.
Two honest qualifications. Most of the striking findings are from animal work, and the human evidence base is still small. And Akkermansia is a strict anaerobe that is notoriously difficult to keep alive — much of the human research has used pasteurised, non-viable cells. Nothing published states whether the Akkermansia in this capsule is live or pasteurised, and with no CFU count either, that part of the formula cannot be assessed.
The label's other-ingredients line reads: hypromellose (vegetarian capsule), microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and silica.
These are ordinary, safe manufacturing excipients. Hypromellose is the plant-derived capsule shell, which is what makes the product vegetarian. Microcrystalline cellulose is a bulking agent, magnesium stearate a flow agent, silica an anti-caking agent. Every one is standard in capsule manufacture and none is a cause for concern.
They are worth listing for one reason: they are manufactured ingredients, which is why the supplied “100% natural ingredients” seal is not used anywhere on this site. The source material is more careful than that seal, describing the formula only as naturally derived and non-GMO.
The source is careful here and the label agrees with it. For healthy adults 18 and over; not for anyone under 18 or for pregnant or nursing women; and talk to your doctor first if you have a compromised immune system, a serious digestive condition, or take medication.
SodaTide is a dietary supplement, not a medicine, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
The label says “Refrigerate for optimal quality” and to keep the bottle away from heat, light and humidity. The source repeats it and rightly calls it “a small but meaningful detail some people miss”.
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:
SodaTide is a dietary supplement, not a treatment for any medical condition. The source says this itself, more than once, and it is right to. It is not a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, diabetes or any other condition.
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.
The three bundles listed in the available material, with the compare-at figures explained rather than simply repeated.
$158 total
The seller lists a compare-at figure of $158 here — identical to the price, so it shows no saving at all.
Compare at $474 → $294 total
A difference of $180
Compare at $237 → $207 total
A difference of $30
What the “compare at” figures actually are. $158, $237 and $474 work out to exactly $79 per bottle in every case — the two-bottle rate applied across each bundle size. They are not a former retail price, and the source describes them as reference figures reported by third parties. That is a more conservative way to show a discount than the invented recommended-retail anchors common in this category, and it is worth crediting. It also means the real differences are modest: $0 on two bottles, $30 on three and $180 on six. Free US shipping applies to the three- and six-bottle bundles; the two-bottle bundle adds $9.99. Promotional pricing is set at checkout and can change, so confirm the current offer there before paying.
Sixty days from the date of purchase. If the product does not meet your expectations you can request a refund through customer support within that window. The purchase is stated to be one-time, with no rebill.
Unlike some pages describing this product, the source used here states no minimum use period before a refund can be requested — so no such condition is asserted on this site. Confirm the current terms on the official refund policy before ordering, since they are the seller's to set and to change.
The window is 60 days. The supply you buy may last considerably longer.
Note your purchase date the day you order, as the source itself advises. Two details are not published anywhere: who pays return postage, and whether opened bottles are accepted.
Read the ingredients page first. This site publishes the per-capsule amounts and the three strain names read directly from the product label — doing exactly what the source material recommends when it tells readers to verify against the physical bottle.
