Safety
SodaBoost Side Effects: Interactions and Who Should Ask First
Most healthy adults are unlikely to notice much from one SodaBoost gummy, since the 82 mg blend is small.
The key cautions are interactions: L-arginine with nitrates, ED or blood pressure drugs, and horny goat weed with heart conditions (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine) (MSKCC, Epimedium). Each gummy also adds 5 mg of caffeine and 3 g of added sugar.

The short version
Is SodaBoost safe?
For most healthy adults, one gummy a day carries low risk because the doses are small. The exceptions are people on certain medicines and people with heart, liver, kidney or thyroid conditions.
Small doses cut both ways: fewer side effects, but far less than research used. Every printed line is on our SodaBoost Supplement Facts page.
The label warning reads, word for word: "If you are pregnant or nursing, take medications or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before using. Discontinue use and consult your doctor if any adverse reactions occur."
No study has tested SodaBoost itself, so the notes below come from research on each ingredient alone. FDA does not approve supplements before sale (FDA, Supplement Q&A).
By ingredient
What are the side effects of each SodaBoost ingredient?
All nine blend ingredients in label order, with sources.
| Ingredient | Main side effects and cautions | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Muira puama | Nervousness or agitation; avoid in pregnancy | (Drugs.com, Muira puama) |
| Maca | May interfere with testosterone blood tests | (MSKCC, Maca) |
| Catuaba | Safety unknown; many products contain a different bark than labeled | (RxList, Catuaba) (Kletter et al., 2004) |
| Green tea extract | Rare liver injury, mostly with extract pills; can raise blood pressure | (NCCIH, Green tea) |
| Caffeine (5 mg) | Jitters or poor sleep in sensitive people; adds to other caffeine | (FDA, Caffeine) |
| Ashwagandha | Upset stomach, drowsiness; rare liver injury; thyroid hormone changes | (ODS, Ashwagandha) (NCCIH, Ashwagandha) |
| L-arginine | Stomach upset; blood pressure can drop too low with some drugs | (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine) |
| Tribulus | Case reports of liver, kidney and nerve damage | (MSKCC, Tribulus) |
| Horny goat weed | Rapid, irregular heartbeat reported | (MSKCC, Epimedium) |
Most reports involve far larger doses. Each herb is profiled on the SodaBoost ingredients page.
Medicines
Which medicines interact with SodaBoost?
Nitrates and ED medicines matter most: with L-arginine, blood pressure can drop too low (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine). The table lists every interaction in our sources.
| If you take | Ingredient involved | Possible problem |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrates (nitroglycerin) | L-arginine | Blood pressure too low (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine) |
| ED medicines (sildenafil and similar) | L-arginine | Blood pressure too low (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine) |
| Blood pressure medicines | L-arginine, ashwagandha, tribulus; green tea works the other way | Pressure too low, or harder to control (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine) (NCCIH, Ashwagandha) (NCCIH, Green tea) |
| Diabetes medicines | Ashwagandha, tribulus | Blood sugar may drop further (NCCIH, Ashwagandha) (MSKCC, Tribulus) |
| Thyroid hormone | Ashwagandha | Thyroid levels may rise (ODS, Ashwagandha) |
| Blood thinners | Tribulus | Bleeding risk may change (MSKCC, Tribulus) |
| Sedatives and sleep aids | Ashwagandha | Extra drowsiness (NCCIH, Ashwagandha) |
| Nadolol, atorvastatin, raloxifene | Green tea extract | Drug levels may change (NCCIH, Green tea) |
| Coffee, energy drinks, pre-workouts | Caffeine, green tea | Caffeine adds up (FDA, Caffeine) |
Caffeine stacking is easy to miss. One gummy adds 5 mg; a 6-oz cup of coffee has 75-100 mg (MedlinePlus, Caffeine). FDA's general limit for healthy adults is 400 mg a day (FDA, Caffeine). Green tea extract may add a bit more, amount not printed.
Who should skip it
Who should not take SodaBoost?
Anyone under 18, pregnant or nursing should not take it. Heart, liver, kidney or thyroid disease means a doctor's OK first.
Under 18
SodaBoost is labeled for adults. Teens should not take it.
Pregnant or nursing
Ashwagandha and muira puama are advised against in pregnancy (NCCIH, Ashwagandha) (Drugs.com, Muira puama).
Heart disease
Horny goat weed is linked to irregular heartbeat (MSKCC, Epimedium). L-arginine is not advised after a recent heart attack (Mayo Clinic, L-arginine).
Liver or kidney disease
Green tea, ashwagandha and tribulus have liver reports. Tribulus also has kidney reports (MSKCC, Tribulus).
Thyroid or autoimmune disease
Ashwagandha can shift thyroid levels and may work against immune-suppressing drugs (NCCIH, Ashwagandha).
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.

Does SodaBoost have sugar or sorbitol?
Yes, both. Each gummy has 3 g of added sugar, which is 6% of the 50 g Daily Value (FDA, Added sugars). Sorbitol liquid is listed among the other ingredients.
| Calories | 10 |
|---|---|
| Total carbohydrate | 3 g (1% DV) |
| Added sugar | 3 g (6% DV), from corn syrup and cane sugar |
| Sorbitol liquid | Not published |
| Allergen statement | Not printed |
- If you have diabetes, count the 3 g of carbohydrate like any small sweet.
- Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol. Large amounts can cause gas or loose stools; one gummy likely holds little.
- The label makes no sugar-free, vegan or gluten-free claim. Ask the order desk at +1 (302) 200-3480 if you have an allergy question.

A related point: FDA has found hidden drug ingredients in many products sold for male energy or stamina (FDA, Sexual enhancement products). The lot and CoA codes on our site are seller references, not lab proof, so tell your doctor exactly what you took.
Symptoms
When do symptoms need a doctor?
Some symptoms need a professional, not a supplement. Erection trouble and constant tiredness are two of them.
Yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, swelling, numbness, a fluttering heart or dizziness after starting SodaBoost.
Erection problems can be a sign of diabetes, kidney disease, clogged arteries or high blood pressure (NIDDK, ED causes). Lasting fatigue can come from anemia, thyroid problems, depression, sleep apnea, diabetes or medicines (MedlinePlus, Fatigue). A checkup can find these. A gummy cannot.
Bottom line
The SodaBoost safety summary
One gummy holds small amounts, which keeps everyday side effects unlikely for healthy adults. The serious risks sit with medicines and heart conditions. Check with your doctor first if nitrates, ED drugs or blood pressure pills are on your list, and stop at the first sign of a reaction.
FAQ
SodaBoost side effects: common questions
What are the side effects of SodaBoost?
No side effects have been studied for SodaBoost itself. Its ingredients are linked to nervousness, upset stomach, drowsiness and, rarely, liver injury or irregular heartbeat, mostly at doses far above one gummy. Stop and call a doctor if you notice anything new.
Can I take SodaBoost with blood pressure medicine?
Ask your doctor first. L-arginine, ashwagandha and tribulus may add to blood pressure drugs, while green tea extract can push pressure up. Your doctor can judge the full blend against your readings and current dose.
Can I take SodaBoost with Viagra or Cialis?
Not without your doctor's OK. SodaBoost contains L-arginine, and L-arginine with ED medicines such as sildenafil can drop blood pressure too low. Never combine either one with nitrates unless a doctor has approved it.
Is SodaBoost safe to take every day?
The label directs one gummy daily, and the doses are small. Ingredient safety data mostly cover a few months of use; ashwagandha, for example, is possibly safe for up to 3 months. Long-term daily use of the full blend has not been studied.
Can SodaBoost affect your liver?
Liver problems are unlikely at these doses but not impossible. Green tea extract, ashwagandha and tribulus all have rare liver injury reports. People with liver disease should ask a doctor first, and anyone with yellow eyes or dark urine should stop and get checked.
Can SodaBoost cause trouble sleeping?
Probably not on its own. One gummy has 5 mg of caffeine, a small fraction of the 75-100 mg in a 6-oz cup of coffee. If you are very caffeine-sensitive or already drink a lot of coffee, take it in the morning, as the sales FAQ suggests.
How do I report a bad reaction to a supplement?
Stop taking it, get medical care, then report the reaction to FDA's MedWatch program. You or your doctor can file the report. Keep the bottle and lot number, and call the order desk about a refund.
