The formula
What is in SodaBoost?
SodaBoost contains nine active ingredients in one 82 mg blend per gummy. The rest is a sweet base of corn syrup, cane sugar, water and apple pectin.
Seven are plants, one is an amino acid and one is caffeine. The label prints all nine names but hides eight of the amounts. See the full Supplement Facts label.

Proprietary blend
How does the SodaBoost proprietary blend work?
A proprietary blend lists one total weight and the ingredient names, but not each amount. Federal labeling rules require the names to appear from most to least by weight (FDA, Labeling guide).
So muira puama, listed first, is the largest share. Horny goat weed, listed last, is the smallest. Caffeine sits fifth at 5 mg, so the four herbs above it weigh at least 5 mg each and the four below weigh 5 mg or less.

The footnote
What does "equivalent to 567 mg of dry powders" mean?
The footnote most likely describes the raw plant material before extraction. Extracts are concentrated, so 82 mg of blend may have started as about 567 mg of dried plant. That is roughly 7 to 1.
The label gives no extract ratio for any herb and does not say which ones are plain powders. We cannot verify the 567 mg figure. What you swallow is 82 mg of blend.

How do SodaBoost doses compare with research?
Research amounts are far larger than the blend can hold. Maca trials used 1.5 to 3 g a day (Shin et al., 2010).

Four groups
What is each SodaBoost ingredient used for?
Muira puama and catuaba
Muira puama is a traditional Amazon tonic with no solid trials of its own. Catuaba has insufficient evidence for every use, and many store samples were a different bark (Kletter et al., 2004).
Maca and ashwagandha
Maca has small trials on self-rated sexual well-being. Ashwagandha has the most data of the nine, mainly for stress and sleep.
Green tea and caffeine
Green tea extract adds catechins and a little caffeine. Caffeine is printed at 5 mg, a small fraction of a cup of coffee.
L-arginine, tribulus, horny goat weed
L-arginine is a nitric oxide building block. Tribulus showed no effect on sex hormones in trials. Horny goat weed lacks human efficacy trials.
Safety
Are SodaBoost ingredients safe to take together?
No one has tested this exact mix. Small amounts are less likely to cause trouble, but a few ingredients carry interaction warnings.
SodaBoost is a dietary supplement, not a drug. Ask your doctor first if you take nitrates, ED medicine, blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid or blood-thinning drugs, have heart disease, or are pregnant: the blend includes L-arginine, horny goat weed, ashwagandha, tribulus and caffeine. See side effects and interactions.

FAQ
SodaBoost ingredients FAQ
What ingredients are in SodaBoost gummies?
SodaBoost gummies contain nine active ingredients in one 82 mg blend: muira puama, maca, catuaba, green tea extract, caffeine, ashwagandha, L-arginine, tribulus and horny goat weed. The base is mainly corn syrup, cane sugar and pectin.
How much maca is in one SodaBoost gummy?
The label does not say. Maca is listed second in the 82 mg blend, so it is one of the larger shares, but it cannot be more than 82 mg. Maca trials used 1.5 to 3 g a day (Shin et al., 2010), which is at least 18 times more.
Why does SodaBoost use a proprietary blend?
Brands use blends to keep recipes private. The rules let them print one total and the names in weight order (FDA, Labeling guide). The trade-off is that buyers cannot see how much of each herb they get.
Is the SodaBoost ingredient list complete?
Yes, the label names all nine active ingredients and eight other ingredients. What it leaves out is the amount of eight blend ingredients, the extract ratios and an allergen statement.
Does SodaBoost contain tribulus?
Yes. Tribulus terrestris is eighth of nine on the label, so it is one of the smallest shares of the 82 mg blend. In trials, tribulus up to 3.21 mg per kg a day for 8 weeks had no effect on strength or sex hormones (ODS, Exercise supplements).
Are SodaBoost ingredients natural?
Seven of the nine blend ingredients are plants, one is an amino acid and one is caffeine. Its sweet base adds corn syrup, cane sugar and natural flavors. "Natural" on a badge describes the brand's view; it does not mean safer or tested.
