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 moreThree components, three full pages — what each one is, what the research found, how much the studies used, and how that compares with the amount the label declares.
Each page follows the same structure: what the ingredient is, what published research has found, what its presence at this amount means, and the safety points worth knowing.
Every page states the amount used in research alongside the amount on the label, because that is the comparison that decides whether a named ingredient means anything. For this product the label makes the comparison possible: 211 mg, 100 mg and 36 mg.
Sorted honestly, the three fall out like this. Chicory root inulin is the best-characterised prebiotic of the two fibres and the largest component here. Potato resistant starch has genuinely interesting research behind it and the widest gap between label amount and studied amount. The probiotic blend is the most interesting and the least assessable — three strains named in full, and no CFU count anywhere.
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 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.

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 moreA named ingredient list is better than nothing, and this label provides an unusually good one — individual amounts rather than a proprietary blend, and all three probiotic species named.
But an amount only means something next to the amount that was studied. Prebiotic inulin research uses 5 to 10 grams a day. Resistant starch research uses 15 to 30 grams. This capsule holds 211 mg and 100 mg.
That is not concealment — it is printed on the bottle — and it follows from the format. A capsule this size physically cannot hold a gram-scale fibre dose.
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.
