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, with the per-capsule amounts and all three probiotic strain names read directly from the product label — none of which appears on the seller’s page.
The Supplement Facts panel is the legally required declaration of what is in the capsule, which makes it the document to trust when a sales page is silent — as this one is on every amount.
Worth reading before you decide, because it is the crux of the product.
The seller's page names three ingredients and describes a three-strain probiotic blend. It publishes no amount for any of them, anywhere — no milligrams, no CFU count — and it names only one of the three strains.
The product label publishes nearly all of it. The Supplement Facts panel on the bottle carries the milligram amounts and names all three strains. Read directly from the label:
The three 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. Without amounts, a named ingredient list cannot be checked against anything. With them, the comparison is simple arithmetic: 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 concealment — the numbers are printed on the bottle, and anyone can read them. 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 takes 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 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 named in full on the label, including one of the most interesting organisms in metabolic research — with no CFU count anywhere.
Learn moreThe sales page refers to a three-strain blend and names only Akkermansia muciniphila. The label names all three. Here they are, with what is actually known about each.
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 the label nor the sales page provides them.
Naming three species is nonetheless better disclosure than most probiotic blends manage, and it is worth acknowledging.
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 seller's “100% natural formula” claim and its matching seal are not used anywhere on this site.
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. The seller says the same.
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 seller repeats the instruction and explains it correctly: live probiotic organisms lose potency 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:
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 condition, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
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 seller prints the struck price here as $179. Its own regular rate is $179 per bottle, and only $358 gives the $200 saving it claims — see the note below.
$1074 → $294 total
Seller states a saving of $780
$537 → $207 total
Seller states a saving of $330
About that two-bottle
figure. The seller's page shows the two-bottle tier as a struck
$179 reduced to $158, while also claiming a $200 saving. Those two numbers cannot
both be right: $179 minus $158 is $21. The intended figure is
$358 — the page's own regular rate is $179 per bottle, and
$358 minus $158 is exactly the $200 claimed. The other two tiers confirm the pattern and
reconcile perfectly ($179×3 = $537 struck, less $207, saves $330; $179×6 = $1074
struck, less $294, saves $780). $358 is shown above rather than the printed $179,
because repeating the printed figure would pass on an error. Free US shipping
applies to the three- and six-bottle bundles only; the two-bottle bundle adds a shipping fee
at checkout and is the only tier without the six digital bonuses. These are current listed
offers rather than permanent prices, and the official checkout is the only authoritative
source.
The seller states a 60-day satisfaction guarantee from the date of purchase and describes it as unconditional. It also states the purchase is one-time with no automatic renewals or auto-billing, which is a genuine point in its favour.
The same page says twice that a refund follows “at least 30 days of use”. Read together with the 60-day limit, the practical window to request a refund 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 “unconditional” is not quite the right word for a guarantee with a stated precondition, and the gap 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. The stated refund contact is [email protected]. Two things the published terms do not settle: who pays return postage, and whether opened bottles are accepted.
Read the ingredients page first. This site publishes the per-capsule amounts and all three probiotic strain names, read directly from the product label — none of which appears on the seller's page at all. They are the numbers that should shape the decision.
