SodaTide Probiotic Blend: 36 mg, Three Named Bacteria and No CFU Count
The SodaTide probiotic blend is 36 mg per capsule and names three bacteria: Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum and Akkermansia muciniphila. The label prints no CFU count and no amount for each one. Probiotic effects depend on the exact strain, and weight evidence is very limited. No study tested SodaTide.

The ingredient01
What is the probiotic blend in SodaTide?
The probiotic blend is a 36 mg mix of three named bacteria. Probiotics are live microorganisms intended to have health benefits (NCCIH, Probiotics: Usefulness and Safety).
The label prints "Probiotic Blend 36 mg" and names Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum and Akkermansia muciniphila. It prints no amount for each one and no CFU count. The blend is the smallest of the three lines.
| Name on the label | Probiotic Blend (Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum, Akkermansia muciniphila) |
|---|---|
| What it is | Three named bacteria; no CFU count and no per-strain amount is printed |
| Place on the panel | 3 of 3 |
| Amount per capsule | 36 mg for the whole blend (printed); no CFU count |
| What research looked at | Probiotic effects depend on the exact strain; studies of other strains looked at weight and gut symptoms |
| Evidence level | Very limited for these three names and for weight |
| What it is called | Live microbes |
| Main caution | Live bacteria need care with weak immune systems, central lines or serious illness; ask a clinician. |
Reading the names02
Does the label name the strains, and does that matter?
It names three species, not strains. A strain has a genus, a species and a strain designation, and effects are specific to the strain (NIH ODS, Probiotics (health professional)).
That is why the NIH says different probiotics may have different effects (NCCIH, Probiotics: Usefulness and Safety). A trial of one strain does not carry over to another. The label gives genus and species only, so a reader cannot match any of the three to a published trial. That is a fact about what is printed, not proof that the blend is weak.
3 of 9 items a probiotic label usually carries are printed in full on this label (ISAPP, Decoding a Probiotic Product Label)
- Genus and speciesPrinted
Printed: Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum, Akkermansia muciniphila.
- Strain designationNot printed
Not printed. Research on a probiotic is strain-specific, so a species name alone does not tell you which studies apply.
- Amount in CFUNot printed
Not printed. The label gives 36 mg for the whole blend, which is a weight, not a count of live bacteria.
- Amount at the end of shelf lifeNot printed
Not printed, because no CFU count is printed at all.
- Per-strain amountsNot printed
Not printed. The three strains share one 36 mg line.
- StoragePartly
Printed: 'Refrigerate for optimal quality.' and 'Keep away from heat, light, and humidity'. No temperature or time is given.
- Suggested usePrinted
Printed: one capsule daily with an 8 oz. glass of water.
- Contact informationPrinted
Printed: Instituto Experience, Lakeland FL 33804, +15074488190, [email protected].
- Best-before or lotNot printed
Not on the label image we have. The seller gave lot ST-26/SO-7402; ask the order desk to match it to your bottle.
The checklist follows public guidance on reading probiotic labels, not a law. A missing item does not mean the bacteria are absent or unsafe; it means a buyer cannot check the amount or the strain.
The count03
Why does the SodaTide probiotic blend have no CFU count?
US label rules ask only for the total weight of the microorganisms, and that is what the label prints: 36 mg. CFU stands for colony-forming units, a count of live organisms.
The NIH explains that weight can include dead cells, so it does not show how many are alive. Makers may list CFU voluntarily, and the useful number is the count at the end of shelf life, not at manufacture (NIH ODS, Probiotics (health professional)). A scientific association adds that a good label gives a minimum viable count for each strain (ISAPP, Decoding a Probiotic Product Label).
Do not read "no CFU count" as "so it is weak". It means no one can check the live dose. We have no lab report.
The research04
Do probiotics help with weight loss, and what about Akkermansia?
The evidence is very limited. Pooled trials show a small change in weight that the authors call fragile, and none tested these three bacteria in a capsule.
A review of 21 trials found probiotic arms about 0.65 kg lighter than placebo, with a median follow-up of 12 weeks and substantial heterogeneity (Kunnackal John 2018, Gut microbiome diet and weight meta-analysis). The NIH calls the effects small and of questionable clinical significance (NIH ODS, Probiotics (health professional)). Cleveland Clinic says there is little evidence that probiotics cause weight loss (Cleveland Clinic, Probiotics and weight loss), and Mayo Clinic calls the human data murky (Mayo Clinic News Network, Probiotics, gut bacteria and weight).
The sales page says Akkermansia muciniphila is "linked in studies to a healthy metabolism" (SodaTide sales page (mysodatide.com)). No source we read covers Akkermansia as a supplement, and none covers Clostridium butyricum, so we cannot confirm or refute that line.

Who should avoid probiotic supplements?
Anyone with a weak immune system, a central line or a serious illness should ask a clinician before using one. Harvard says people on immunosuppressants or with severe illness should avoid probiotic supplements (Harvard Nutrition Source, Probiotics for Gut Health).
Most healthy adults see few problems, and the usual effect is gas (NIH ODS, Probiotics (health professional)). The risk of infection is reported mostly in severely ill or immunocompromised people, and in premature infants (NCCIH, Probiotics: Usefulness and Safety). Quality is a second worry: products can hold less than the labeled dose or different strains (Harvard Health, Should you take probiotics?).
Pregnant or nursing, under 18, a known condition or any medicine: the label says to consult a physician. Keep taking every prescribed medicine, and ask your doctor or pharmacist about the bottle.
The FDA warns that weight-loss products are often found with hidden drugs (FDA, Weight Loss Product Notifications). We found no public test, FDA notice or warning letter for SodaTide, and that proves nothing.
Storage06
Does the SodaTide probiotic blend need to be refrigerated?
The label says "Refrigerate for optimal quality." It also says to keep the bottle away from heat, light and humidity, and the seal line says to store it in a cool, dry place.
The seller's brief says "refrigerate after opening". Where the two differ, the label wins. Some probiotics need refrigeration and others do not, so check the bottle (NIH ODS, Probiotics (health professional)). Live probiotics can die during storage (Harvard Nutrition Source, Probiotics for Gut Health).
No source we read says how many hours out of the fridge a bottle can take, so we give no number. Our storage page has the label wording.

Is the probiotic blend a reason to choose SodaTide?
Not on what is printed. The label gives names and a weight but no live count, so the blend cannot be compared with a study.
If you still want to try it, the kits are 2 bottles at $79 each, 3 at $69 each or 6 at $49 each; confirm the live price on the checkout. The guarantee is 60 days; confirm the live policy. This site earns money when you buy through its order links. Read our probiotics guide first.

SodaTide questions people ask
How many probiotics are in SodaTide?
The label names three bacteria in a 36 mg blend and prints no CFU count, so the number of live organisms is not known. It also prints no amount for each of the three.
Is Akkermansia muciniphila a probiotic?
It is a gut bacterium, and SodaTide lists it. No source we read covers it as a supplement, so we cannot say what a capsule does. Probiotic effects are specific to the exact strain.
What is CFU on a probiotic label?
CFU means colony-forming units, a count of live organisms. The NIH says to look for the count at the end of shelf life. SodaTide prints a weight, 36 mg, instead.
Can probiotics make you sick?
Rarely, in healthy adults; gas is the usual effect. Serious infections are reported mostly in severely ill or immunocompromised people. Ask a clinician first if that could be you.
Is Clostridium butyricum safe to take?
We found no source on it as a supplement, so we cannot say. Safety depends on the strain and the person. Ask a clinician if you have a weak immune system or a serious illness.
