658 milligrams, all of it disclosed, and three percentages that let you check the rest.
SodaSlim lists five ingredients, each with its own amount, and no proprietary blend.
Green coffee bean extract, raspberry ketone, garcinia extract and green tea extract come at 130 mg each, with 138 mg of caffeine anhydrous, in a vegetable capsule.

There is no proprietary blend. Ten dietary ingredients are declared and every one of them carries a figure. That is the only time this desk has been able to write that sentence about a product, and it is why the rest of this site can do arithmetic instead of guessing.
The footnote** Daily Value (DV) not established.
Other ingredientsHypromellose (vegetable capsule). Contains Caffeine.
Marks printed on the label itselfNon-GMO · Soy Free · Lab Tested. The Soy Free mark is a real allergen statement. There is no shellfish statement, and glucosamine is commonly manufactured from shellfish.
Chosen because they are the ones that change how you read the rest of the label.
The one amount here that is unambiguously large. The FDA cites 400 mg a day as not generally associated with dangerous negative effects in healthy adults, and puts a 12-ounce coffee at 113 to 247 mg. This is roughly half a cup to a cup and a quarter, before whatever you already drink.
The largest dose gap on this label. The NIH describes studies using 1,000 to 2,800 mg a day of HCA and concludes the effect on body weight remains uncertain. It also records 10 cases of liver toxicity in people taking garcinia products, with one death and two liver transplants, causation unestablished.
Trials the NIH describes used 180 or 200 mg a day of extract. 130 mg is under by less than a factor of two, which on this desk is remarkable. The same review notes the methodological quality of all those studies was poor.
Studied only in combination with other ingredients, with insufficient research to draw firm conclusions. There is no single-ingredient human dose, so 130 mg is neither a large amount nor a small one — it is an amount of something nobody has established a dose for.
The most completely standardised line on this desk: 98% polyphenols, 75% catechins, 45% EGCG, under 3% caffeine. Trials used catechin doses from 141 to 1,207 mg, so this sits just under the bottom of the band.
130, 130, 130, 138, 130. Four ingredients at exactly the same weight is a number chosen for the formula rather than derived from each ingredient's research, because their studied doses are nothing like each other.

Eleven tiles from the supplied image set, captioned with what each one carries on the panel. Two of them are photographs of coffee, and only one is of the right kind.
A photograph is evidence that somebody selected a photograph. The amounts beside them come from the Supplement Facts panel, which is the only part of a label with rules attached to it.
One linear scale. Four rows ask how far under a studied dose this is; the caffeine row asks the opposite question and is drawn differently.
What this label deliversWhat the research usedA daily ceiling, not a targetper 1-capsule serving, one linear scale
Four of these rows ask how far under a studied dose the label is. The caffeine row asks the opposite question, because 400 mg is a figure the FDA cites as the point up to which caffeine is not generally associated with dangerous negative effects in healthy adults. One capsule uses about a third of it — before the unstated caffeine in the green coffee bean extract, and before whatever you drink. It is the only ingredient here whose amount is unambiguously large enough to do something.
Pick an ingredient. For four of them it is the studied dose divided by what this capsule delivers. For the caffeine it is how few capsules reach a daily ceiling.
The label says one capsule a day. These figures are simply the studied dose divided by the printed amount — they are not a recommendation, and taking handfuls of capsules is not one either. They exist to show the size of the gap in a unit anybody can picture.
Scroll or use the arrows. Five declared ingredients, then what the standardisations deliver, then the shell.
138 mg · the one amount that is large
The only ingredient here at a dose nobody has to argue about. The FDA puts 400 mg a day as the figure that “is not generally associated with dangerous, negative effects” for healthy adults, and describes that as two to three 12-ounce cups of coffee. This capsule is about a third of that, before you count your own coffee.
130 mg · closest to a studied dose
Printed with its species, its plant part and its standardisation: <i>Coffea robusta</i>, seed, 50% chlorogenic acids. The NIH's weight-loss review describes trials giving 180 or 200 mg a day of green coffee extract, so 130 mg is genuinely in the same order of magnitude — the only ingredient here of which that is true.
130 mg · 15 to 43 times under
<i>Garcinia cambogia</i>, fruit, 50% HCA — so 65 mg of hydroxycitric acid. The NIH records studies using <b>1,000 to 2,800 mg a day of HCA</b>. It also records 10 cases of liver toxicity in people taking garcinia-containing products, resulting in one death and two liver transplants, while noting causation could not be established.
130 mg · no human evidence to compare with
The NIH's position on this one is short: it has been “studied only in combination with other ingredients” and there is “insufficient research to draw firm conclusions”. There is no dose to compare 130 mg against, because there is no single-ingredient human trial to draw one from.
130 mg · just under the studied band
The best-specified line on the label: 98% polyphenols, 75% catechins, 45% EGCG, under 3% caffeine. That is 97.5 mg of catechins and 58.5 mg of EGCG. The NIH describes trials using catechin doses from 141 to 1,207 mg, so this sits just below the bottom of that range — closer than anything else here except the green coffee.
65 mg · the compound behind the green coffee
Half of 130 mg, because the label states the standardisation. This is the arithmetic a standardisation exists to permit: without it, 130 mg describes a weight of powder rather than a quantity of anything.
65 mg · the compound behind the garcinia
Also half of 130 mg. Set beside the 1,000–2,800 mg a day the studies used, this is between a fifteenth and a forty-third of a studied dose. The label printed the number that makes that visible, which is to its credit.
58.5 mg · well inside ordinary practice
45% of 130 mg. Green tea extract has a documented liver-injury signal at high intakes — NCCIH notes injury has been reported “primarily [with] green tea extracts in tablet or capsule form” — and 58.5 mg is a long way below the intakes that signal is associated with. On this one the smallness is a safety margin.
capsule shell
The only other ingredient on the label. A vegetable capsule, named, which is more than several products on this desk print. No fillers, no flow agents, no anti-caking agent.
printed on the label
A plain-language caffeine statement directly under the other-ingredients line. It is not required by regulation in the way an allergen statement is, and printing it anyway is a small piece of good practice worth naming.
They are the most useful thing on this panel, and most labels in this category do not carry them.
50% chlorogenic acids means half of the 130 mg of green coffee extract is the compound the research is about — so 65 mg. 50% HCA does the same for garcinia: 65 mg of hydroxycitric acid. And the green tea line gives four figures at once: 98% polyphenols, 75% catechins, 45% EGCG and under 3% caffeine, which works out as 97.5 mg of catechins, 58.5 mg of EGCG and a caffeine ceiling of 3.9 mg.
Without a standardisation, a milligram figure tells you the weight of powder and nothing about what is in it. Two extracts at 130 mg can differ tenfold in the compound that matters, and a label that prints only the weight gives you no way to tell.
The two ingredients here without a standardisation do not need one. Caffeine anhydrous is the compound itself. Raspberry ketone is also a single compound — its problem is a different one, and it is in the next section.
When you compare this product with another, compare the standardised compound rather than the extract weight. 130 mg of garcinia at 50% HCA beats 200 mg of garcinia at 20% HCA, and a label that does not say cannot be compared at all.
Front of the card: what it is and what this capsule delivers. Tap it over for the source and the exact words, including the parts that do not flatter the product.
Four of the five ingredients here can be set beside a published dose. Raspberry ketone cannot.
The NIH's weight-loss fact sheet is brief about it, and the brevity is the point. It records that raspberry ketone has been “studied only in combination with other ingredients” and that there is “insufficient research to draw firm conclusions”.
That is a different situation from an under-dose. For the garcinia we can tell you the studies used 1,000 to 2,800 mg a day of HCA and that this capsule has 65 mg. For raspberry ketone there is no single-ingredient human trial to draw a figure from, so 130 mg is neither large nor small. It is an amount of a compound nobody has established a dose for.
It occupies a fifth of this capsule by weight, which is worth knowing before you buy.
Five amounts, three standardisations, one capsule shell. Every figure on the panel converts into a quantity of a real compound, which is rare.
Yes, 138 mg of caffeine anhydrous, printed on the panel with a plain-language Contains Caffeine statement underneath the ingredient line. That statement is not required by regulation.
This it cannot answer. The green tea is bounded at under 3%, so at most 3.9 mg. The green coffee bean extract has no caffeine figure at all, and it is standardised to chlorogenic acids rather than decaffeinated.
OTHER INGREDIENTS: Hypromellose (vegetable capsule). Contains Caffeine.
One item. No microcrystalline cellulose, no magnesium stearate, no silica, no rice flour. On a desk where most other-ingredients lines run to four or five excipients, a single-item line is genuinely unusual and worth crediting.
The capsule being named as hypromellose is what makes a vegetarian reading of this product checkable against the label rather than an assertion on a badge.
And the Contains Caffeine statement printed underneath is the best small decision on this label. It is not an allergen statement, no regulation forces it, and it is the reason a buyer can begin the caffeine arithmetic at all.
Every amount on this page was read off the Supplement Facts panel in the label photograph supplied with this product, at native resolution, rather than retyped from marketing copy. The delivered figures — 65 mg of HCA, 97.5 mg of catechins, 58.5 mg of EGCG — are our own arithmetic from the printed percentages. If the panel on your bottle differs in any line, the bottle wins and we want the photograph: [email protected].
Six hundred and fifty-eight milligrams of declared ingredients, plus a hypromellose shell. Four of the five ingredients are at exactly 130 mg and the fifth, caffeine anhydrous, is at 138. Three of the five also state a standardisation, so you can work out that you are getting 65 mg of chlorogenic acids, 65 mg of HCA, 97.5 mg of catechins and 58.5 mg of EGCG.
They are standardisations, and they are the most useful thing on this panel. 50% chlorogenic acids means half the 130 mg of green coffee extract is the compound the research is about. 50% HCA means the same for garcinia. The green tea line gives four figures at once. Without a standardisation, a milligram figure tells you the weight of powder rather than the quantity of anything in it.
No, and that is worth crediting. All five ingredients carry their own printed amount, so nothing is hidden behind a total. It is also what makes every criticism on this site possible: a label that hid these amounts inside a blend would have escaped all of them while being no better.
At least 141.9 mg, and the label will not tell you the total. It prints 138 mg of caffeine anhydrous directly, and bounds the green tea extract at under 3% caffeine, which is at most 3.9 mg. It says nothing about the caffeine in 130 mg of green coffee bean extract — that extract is standardised to chlorogenic acids, which says nothing about caffeine, and nothing on the label decaffeinates it. The FDA cites 400 mg a day as the figure not generally associated with dangerous negative effects in healthy adults.
Not against the research. The label states 50% HCA, so 130 mg delivers 65 mg of hydroxycitric acid. The NIH describes studies using 1,000 to 2,800 mg a day of HCA — between fifteen and forty-three times this amount — and concludes that the effect of <i>Garcinia cambogia</i> on body weight remains uncertain even at those doses.
Nobody has established that. The NIH's position is that it has been “studied only in combination with other ingredients” and that there is “insufficient research to draw firm conclusions”. That makes it different from the other four: there is no single-ingredient human dose to set 130 mg beside, so we cannot tell you whether it is a large amount or a small one.
This is the one ingredient here at a dose the literature would recognise. The NIH describes a meta-analysis in which overweight participants received either 180 or 200 mg a day of green coffee extract, finding a mean weight loss 2.47 kg greater than placebo. This capsule has 130 mg, which is under by less than a factor of two. The same review notes the methodological quality of all those studies was poor, and that caveat travels with the result.
Close to one. The label's standardisation is the most complete on this desk — 98% polyphenols, 75% catechins, 45% EGCG, under 3% caffeine — so 130 mg gives 97.5 mg of catechins. The NIH describes trials using catechin doses from 141 to 1,207 mg, which modestly but significantly reduced body weight by a mean of 1.38 kg when combined with caffeine. So this sits just below the bottom of the studied band.
We do not know and we are not going to guess at a motive. What can be said is what it is not. It is not four ingredients each set to its own studied dose, because their studied doses are nothing like each other — garcinia's is measured in grams of HCA, green coffee's in low hundreds of milligrams of extract, and raspberry ketone's does not exist. A round number repeated four times is a number chosen for the formula.
Natural has no regulatory definition for a dietary supplement. This capsule contains caffeine anhydrous — a manufactured, dehydrated, concentrated powder — and four standardised extracts, which are processed concentrates by definition. All of it is ordinary and all of it is disclosed. The label is more honest than the roundel.
One bottle is 30 capsules at one a day, so a bottle is exactly thirty days and the front of the label says so. The 60-day guarantee runs from purchase, not from delivery, and the price is shown at checkout.
