SodaTide Ingredients
SodaTide names five ingredients: two dosed prebiotic fibers and a 36mg three-species probiotic blend.
The probiotic blend does not disclose a CFU count or strain designation, detailed below.
What's dosed vs. what's a blend
SodaTide discloses individual amounts for all three components — Chicory Root Inulin (211mg), Potato Resistant Starch (100mg), and a combined Probiotic Blend (36mg) — but the probiotic blend does not break out how much of the 36mg belongs to each of the three named species, nor does it disclose a CFU count or strain designation for any of them.
All five ingredients, one by one
Chicory Root Inulin — 211mg
A fermentable prebiotic fiber with good ingredient-level human research. A systematic review found inulin-type fructans can influence intestinal microbiota, particularly populations such as Bifidobacterium.
Potato Resistant Starch — 100mg
Survives digestion differently from conventional starch and can be fermented by colon microorganisms. A meta-analysis found changes in several bacterial groups following resistant starch intake, though responses vary considerably between individuals.
Bifidobacterium infantis — Part of 36mg blend
A probiotic species; certain specific strains (such as 35624) have human clinical research, but results cannot automatically be applied to SodaTide's unspecified strain.
Clostridium butyricum — Part of 36mg blend
A probiotic component associated with butyrate-related research; described as emerging and strain-specific evidence.
Akkermansia muciniphila — Part of 36mg blend
A microbiome-focused probiotic species in an active and expanding research area, though SodaTide-specific clinical evidence is unavailable.
The transparency gap that needs a real caveat
No CFU count or strain designation. Probiotic research is strain-specific — Bifidobacterium infantis 35624, for example, has real randomized clinical research behind it, but that cannot be assumed to apply to an unspecified strain of the same species. Without a CFU count, you also cannot confirm how many live organisms are actually in each capsule. Read how the formula is meant to work next.
