Quick answer: Take one SodaTide capsule each morning with 8 oz of water and refrigerate after opening. Avoid it if your immune system is weakened, space it 2 hours from antibiotics, and expect mild gas in the first one to two weeks.
How to take SodaTide
Take one capsule a day, ideally in the morning with an 8 oz glass of water. Take it consistently for at least 30 to 60 days.
Storage
The unopened bottle is shelf-stable. After opening, keep it tightly closed in the refrigerator to help protect the live strains.
Safety before you start
⚠ Know Before You Start
Before your first capsule: SodaTide is made for healthy adults. Probiotics and fermentable fibers are safe for most people, but a few groups should check with a doctor first.
- Weakened immune system (chemotherapy, organ transplant, immune-suppressing drugs, a central line or serious illness): live bacteria can rarely cause infection. Do not use without medical advice.
- IBS or sensitivity to inulin and FODMAPs: chicory inulin can cause gas and bloating. Start slowly and stop if symptoms worsen.
- Taking antibiotics: take SodaTide at least 2 hours apart from the antibiotic dose.
- Diabetes medicine: SodaTide is not a GLP-1 drug or a diabetes treatment. Keep taking your prescribed medicine and monitoring.
- Pregnant, nursing or under 18: ask a doctor first.
- See a doctor for severe abdominal pain, blood in the stool, fever, persistent diarrhea or unexplained weight loss rather than trying a supplement.
Mild gas or rumbling in the first one to two weeks is common while your gut adjusts. More on the how to use and safety page.
First-week effects
