Read off the supplied label photograph at native resolution, not retyped from marketing copy.
Quick answer
One SodaSlim capsule is one serving, with 30 servings per container.
Each serving lists green coffee bean extract, raspberry ketone, garcinia extract and green tea extract at 130 mg each, plus 138 mg of caffeine anhydrous. The capsule is hypromellose.
For what each one does, read the ingredients guide.
The label
The same thing as a table
Five declared ingredients with their amounts, then what the three standardisations actually deliver.
| As printed on the panel | Amount per 2-capsule serving | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Green Coffee Bean Extract (Coffea robusta)(seed)(50% chlorogenic acids) | 130 mg | ** |
| Raspberry Ketone | 130 mg | ** |
| Garcinia Extract (Garcinia cambogia)(fruit)(50% HCA) | 130 mg | ** |
| Caffeine Anhydrous | 138 mg | ** |
| Green Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis)(leaf)(98% polyphenols, 75% catechins, 45% EGCG, <3% caffeine) | 130 mg | ** |
| Chlorogenic acids | 65 mg | Daily Value not established |
| HCA (hydroxycitric acid) | 65 mg | Daily Value not established |
| Green tea catechins | 97.5 mg | Daily Value not established |
| EGCG | 58.5 mg | Daily Value not established |
| Caffeine, stated minimum | 141.9 mg | Daily Value not established |
What is not on this panel
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.

Six ways to read this panel
Most of what this label does, it does properly. That is what makes the numbers checkable.
1
capsule, 30 servings a bottle
Serving size
As a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule daily. The brief adds: for the best results in appetite control and energy levels, we suggest taking it in the morning.
One capsule is one serving and there are thirty in a bottle, so a bottle is exactly thirty days. Every amount on the panel is what one capsule delivers.
658 mg
all five ingredients added up
The whole capsule
130 + 130 + 130 + 138 + 130. That is the entire declared contents of one serving, before the shell.
Notice the shape of it: four ingredients at an identical 130 mg and one at 138. Four identical numbers in a row is a formulation pattern worth seeing, and it is the subject of its own section on our home page.
5 of 5
no proprietary blend
Amounts printed
Every one of the five dietary ingredients carries its own milligram figure. There is no blend on this label, so nothing is hidden behind a total.
Three of the five also carry a standardisation, which is what lets a milligram figure be converted into a quantity of an actual compound. That is the difference between a number and a dose.
138 mg
plus an unstated amount from the green coffee
Caffeine
Declared directly, which is the right way to do it. The FDA cites 400 mg a day as the figure not generally associated with dangerous negative effects in healthy adults, and puts a 12-ounce cup of coffee at 113 to 247 mg.
Two other ingredients here are also caffeine sources. The green tea extract is bounded at under 3%, so under 3.9 mg. The green coffee bean extract has no caffeine figure at all, and it is standardised to chlorogenic acids rather than decaffeinated.
3 of 5
ingredients state what they contain
Standardisation
Green coffee to 50% chlorogenic acids. Garcinia to 50% HCA. Green tea to 98% polyphenols, 75% catechins, 45% EGCG and under 3% caffeine.
That last one is unusually complete — four figures on a single line. The two without a standardisation are caffeine anhydrous, which is the compound itself and needs none, and raspberry ketone, which also is.
1
hypromellose, and a caffeine statement
Other ingredients
OTHER INGREDIENTS: Hypromellose (vegetable capsule). Contains Caffeine.
One item. No microcrystalline cellulose, no magnesium stearate, no silica. On a desk where most other-ingredients lines run to four or five excipients, a single-item line is worth noticing.
What this label gets right
This is the longest version of this section this desk has written, and every item on it is checkable against the photograph.
Serving size and servings per container are both printed, and they agree with the front: one capsule, thirty servings, 30 capsules. That one line turns a bottle into a supply and a price into a cost per day.
An amount per serving appears for every declared ingredient. Five of five. 21 CFR 101.36 requires the quantitative amount by weight per serving of each dietary ingredient, and there is no proprietary blend anywhere on this panel.
Three of the five carry a standardisation. 50% chlorogenic acids, 50% HCA, and a green tea line giving four figures at once. That is what lets a milligram figure be converted into a quantity of an actual compound.
Both botanicals carry their species and plant part. Coffea robusta, seed. Garcinia cambogia, fruit. Camellia sinensis, leaf.
The footnote is correct. None of the five has an established Daily Value, so each carries a double asterisk pointing at Daily Value (DV) not established.
The other-ingredients line is one item, with the capsule shell named as hypromellose and identified as a vegetable capsule.
A plain-language Contains Caffeine statement is printed underneath it, which no regulation required.
A proper caution panel covering dose, under-18s, pregnancy, nursing, medication and medical conditions.
A single storage instruction with a temperature on it, in both scales.
The FDA disclaimer is boxed on the same panel as the asterisked claims, which is what 21 CFR 101.93 asks for.
And the three places it stops short
One. The green coffee extract's caffeine is never quantified. The panel gives you 138 mg of caffeine anhydrous and bounds the green tea at under 3%, which is at most 3.9 mg. It says nothing about the caffeine in 130 mg of Coffea robusta seed extract, which is standardised to chlorogenic acids rather than decaffeinated. So the total caffeine in this capsule cannot be worked out from the label, and that is the one figure a buyer needs for the FDA's 400 mg a day.
Two. The address is a PO Box. 21 CFR 101.5 requires the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer or distributor, and says “the statement of the place of business shall include the street address, city, State, and ZIP code”. It adds that “the street address may be omitted if it is shown in a current city directory or telephone directory”. A PO Box is not a street address. Whether the omission is permitted turns on whether the firm is listed in a current directory, which we cannot check from a photograph — so we are pointing at the rule rather than asserting a violation.
Three. Four ingredients are at exactly 130 mg. Nothing about that breaks any rule, and we are not guessing at a motive. It is worth noticing because their studied doses are nothing like each other, so a repeated round number is chosen for the formula rather than derived from the research on each one.
The shortest way to say it
Everything on this panel that can be checked, checks out, and there is more to check than on any label this desk has read. The gap is that the one number that matters for safety — total caffeine — is the one it leaves open.
Three things we checked ourselves
We did the standardisation arithmetic
50% of 130 is 65 mg of chlorogenic acids and 65 mg of HCA. 75% of 130 is 97.5 mg of catechins; 45% is 58.5 mg of EGCG; 3% is a ceiling of 3.9 mg of caffeine. None of those delivered figures is printed; all of them follow from percentages that are.
We added the capsule up
130 + 130 + 130 + 138 + 130 = 658 mg of declared ingredient per serving. That total appears nowhere on the label. We calculated it, and it is the most useful single number on this site.
If your bottle disagrees
The bottle wins. If any amount, ingredient, percentage or instruction on your own label differs from what is transcribed here, follow your bottle and send us the photograph at [email protected]. We will correct the page and say that we did.
The SodaSlim Label, In Full: common questions
What is actually in one capsule?
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.
What do the percentages in brackets mean?
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.
Is there a proprietary blend?
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.
How much caffeine is in it?
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.
How do I store it?
In a cool, dry place below 30°C, which is 86°F. That is the label's own instruction, it is a single instruction, and it has a number on it. After several products on this desk with vague or contradictory storage lines, that is genuinely good practice.
Is it vegetarian?
The capsule shell is hypromellose, printed on the label as a vegetable capsule, and it is the only other ingredient. Nothing on the panel is animal-derived. That makes it checkable against the label rather than an assertion, which is rare.
Is it 100% natural, as the badge says?
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.
Who makes it?
The label says <i>distributed for</i> Gex Corporation LLP, PO Box 12730, Ogden, UT 84404, with a telephone number and [email protected]. No manufacturing facility is named. 21 CFR 101.5 asks for a street address, city, State and ZIP unless the firm is listed in a current city or telephone directory, and a PO Box is not a street address.
What are the lot and certificate numbers?
Lot SOD-26/SO-6271 and certificate reference SOD-6271-26-SO. The same document that supplies them describes both as draft labels rather than lab proof, so we publish them as references and not as evidence. No laboratory is named and no certificate of analysis was supplied.
