About this site, and the rule it is built on
Sodapeakwellness is an authorized U.S. merchant for SodaPeak, and this is the merchant’s product-information site. We benefit if you buy. That is a conflict of interest, and the method below exists because of it rather than in spite of it.
This site is published by Sodapeakwellness, a U.S. authorized SodaPeak merchant. It exists to publish the SodaPeak label as it is printed, the arithmetic that the printed order of the blend supports, and every place where the material supplied to us disagreed with itself.
The standing rule is simple. Where the seller’s written brief and the supplied label artwork disagree, the artwork wins, and the disagreement is published rather than resolved. On this site the brief and the label disagree in six places and ten separate things were never supplied at all.
Dr. James Bateman III, MD, MPH reviews the SodaPeak pages
Dr. James Bateman III, MD, MPH, a physician, reviews the product pages, the label transcription, the ingredient and safety sections and the blog posts on this site before they are published, and again when a fact on them changes.
That review asks whether a page agrees with the bottle and with the sources it cites, and whether a general reader could act on it safely. It is not a consultation and not an endorsement of SodaPeak; our editorial method sets out the rest.
Who publishes this, and what that means
Sodapeakwellness is an authorized merchant for SodaPeak in the United States. This website is the merchant’s own product-information site: orders are placed and paid for on the seller’s checkout page, where the price, the shipping cost and the guarantee term are shown, and where none of those three was supplied to us.
So we have a commercial interest in your reading this and then buying. There is no way to write that sentence that makes it go away, and a site with that interest asking to be trusted has to give a reader something better than a promise. What it can give is a method that is checkable against the bottle.
The brand on the bottle is not us
The label carries the brand mark Vitalifes and the line “Distributed by: Vitalifes” with no city, state or ZIP. We did not write that label, we cannot correct it, and where it falls short of a labeling requirement this site says so — which, on a merchant’s own site, is the part that tells you whether the rest is worth reading.

The standing rule: the label wins
Three sources of information about this product reached this build: the seller’s written brief, a set of marketing images, and photographs of the bottle’s own printed panels. They do not agree with each other. The rule that settles it is written down and applied the same way every time.
The rule, in one sentence
Where the seller’s brief and the supplied label artwork disagree, the artwork wins — and the disagreement is published on the page where it matters, rather than quietly resolved in favour of either one.
The reason is practical rather than moral. A reader holding the bottle can check the panel. Nobody outside this site can check the brief, and a site that silently picked the brief would be asking to be trusted on exactly the point where it could not be verified.
The second half of that rule matters as much as the first. If we resolved each conflict silently, this site would look tidier and a reader would lose the only signal that tells them how much of the marketing to discount. A published conflict is information. A resolved one is an editorial decision you have to take on faith.
What we transcribe, and what we derive
Everything on the Supplement Facts panel, the directions panel and the side panel is transcribed from the supplied photographs, line by line. Everything else on this site is one of three things: a cited source, arithmetic done on the label’s own printed figures, or a clearly marked statement that something was not supplied.
The panel, transcribed →The arithmetic, in full →The mutual-exclusion proof →
The six places the SodaPeak brief and label differ
All six, as found. None has been resolved in favour of either source; each is recorded on the page where a reader would meet it.
These are the six conflicts this site found between the seller’s written brief, the supplied marketing images and the artwork on the bottle. Two of them change what is in the product. Two are labeling-rule questions. The other two are about how much to take and what the product is said to do.
| # | The question | What each source says |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | How many ingredients there are | The brief lists six. The panel on the bottle lists eight. The two the brief leaves out are Orchic Substance — bovine testicle tissue — and Boron Amino Acid Chelate. Both supplied marketing images show the same six as the brief. A buyer reading anything except the bottle would not know that either ingredient is in this product. |
| 2 | How much to take | The side panel says “take one (1) or two (2) capsules daily”. The Supplement Facts panel on the same bottle says Serving Size: 2 capsules, and every figure on it describes two. At one capsule the blend is 600 mg rather than 1,200 mg. The brief itself flags this, saying “confirm the bottle — marketplace and ads do not always match”. |
| 3 | Whether the product is vegetarian | A vegetarian seal appears in the supplied marketing assets. The panel lists a Gelatin Capsule in Other Ingredients and Orchic Substance in the blend. US regulation defines gelatin as a product of collagen from cattle and swine. Two separate animal-derived components, and a vegetarian mark in the same asset folder. |
| 4 | Who distributes it, and from where | The label prints Distributed by: Vitalifes and stops. No city, no state, no ZIP. 21 CFR 101.5 requires the place of business as well as the name, and permits only the street address to be omitted where the firm is in a current directory. |
| 5 | What the product claims to do | The brief lists stamina, energy, strength, vitality, immune support, focus support and overall wellness among the supports named on the sales page or label. The front of the bottle prints one claim, Supports Healthy Muscle, and none of the other seven appears on any of its panels. |
| 6 | Which symbol points where | The blend line is marked with a double asterisk and the footnote with a single one. 21 CFR 101.36(b)(3)(iv) requires the symbol on the ingredient to refer to the same symbol at the bottom of the panel. These are two different marks, and the same single asterisk is also doing duty on the front-panel claim and on the FDA disclaimer. |

The first is the one that changes the product. The brief and both marketing images list six ingredients; the panel lists eight. The two missing from everything except the bottle are orchic substance, which is bovine testicle tissue, and boron amino acid chelate. A vegetarian seal appears in the same asset folder as a gelatin capsule and an animal tissue.
None of the six is presented here as fraud, and we have no basis to call any of them that. One is a production detail, three are marketing or brief wording that did not get updated, and two are labeling requirements that a reader can check against the regulation for themselves.
Ten SodaPeak facts nobody supplied
Recorded as gaps rather than filled with an estimate. A figure this site was not given is a figure this site does not print.
This list is the other half of the method. When something a reader would want was not supplied, we do not estimate it, take it from a competitor, or round a category average into the space. We write down that it is missing and leave the space empty.
- The split inside the blend
- Eight ingredients share 1,200 mg and the label discloses only the total. This is legal, and it is the whole subject of this site.
- Any standardization figure
- No icariin percentage for the horny goat weed, no eurycomanone figure for the tongkat ali, no fatty acid content for the saw palmetto, no elemental boron figure for the chelate. Every one of those changes what a milligram means.
- The elemental boron content
- “Boron Amino Acid Chelate” is a raw material, not an element. Common trade grades are around 5% elemental boron, but no specification was supplied and the label states none.
- The source and processing of the orchic substance
- Country of origin, the age of the cattle and the processing method are all unstated, and all three are what a reader concerned about bovine tissue would want.
- A place of business for the distributor
- “Vitalifes” and nothing else.
- Any pack price
- Not supplied. The brief points at the marketplace listing.
- The guarantee term
- “As printed on the marketplace listing”. No number was supplied.
- Shipping cost and delivery estimate
- Not published. Both appear at checkout.
- A certificate of analysis
- A reference number was supplied. No document was.
- Any third-party testing
- None of any kind was supplied.
Six of those ten are about dose and composition, and they are why this site talks about ceilings rather than amounts. Four are commercial — no price, no guarantee term, no shipping cost, no delivery estimate — and they are the reason every buying page here ends by pointing at the checkout page rather than at a number of our own.
The two that are easiest to fix
A pack price and a guarantee term are two sentences of work for the seller and they are the lowest-scoring row on the card below. Neither requires a laboratory, a reformulation or a new label.
A certificate of analysis naming the lot is harder but not unusual: these documents move between manufacturers and sellers routinely. A reference number was supplied for this product. The document was not, and a reference number is not a result.
The editorial scorecard, and how each row was reached
The card below is editorial opinion. It is not a certification, not a test result, not a rating anyone else endorses, and it is not marked up as structured data anywhere on this site. It is nine judgements by this desk, each one argued in the sentence beneath it so that you can disagree with a specific row rather than with a number.
A full Supplement Facts panel, a directions panel, a storage line, a caution, a keep-out-of-reach line, an expiry date and the FDA disclaimer in full. This is a complete, properly constructed label, and it earns the credit.
Eight ingredients share a single 1,200 mg figure. The label discloses no individual amount and no standardization for anything.
The brief and both marketing images show six of the eight. The two they omit are bovine testicle tissue and a boron chelate.
The side panel says one or two capsules; the Facts panel says a 2-capsule serving. The blend carries a double asterisk and the footnote a single one.
Three of the eight sit in positions that allow a studied dose, which is better than most blends of this size manage. Saw palmetto and boron cannot both be among them.
The blend is called Test Boost. Its third ingredient inhibits the enzyme that makes DHT, its fourth had testosterone measured and unchanged, and three of the eight have no human trial at all.
Tongkat ali has a genuine systematic review. Boron has two small human studies. Saw palmetto and nettle have real literature pointing elsewhere. Four have essentially none.
“Distributed by: Vitalifes” with no city, state or ZIP does not meet 21 CFR 101.5(d), and the footnote symbol does not match the blend’s.
No price was supplied to this website at all, and no guarantee term either. This is the lowest score on the card and the easiest to fix.
How a row was arrived at
Each row is scored against what the label itself makes possible, not against an ideal product. Three of the nine are matters of fact you can check on the bottle in under a minute: label completeness, internal consistency and labeling compliance. Two are arithmetic done on the printed order: dose transparency and dose adequacy.
Three are readings of the literature, and they are where reasonable people will differ most: ingredient fit, evidence strength and ingredient disclosure elsewhere. The last, price transparency, is the only row scored on an absence — no price and no guarantee term were supplied to this website at all, which is the easiest row on the card to change.
Note what the card does not penalise. It does not mark the product down for being a proprietary blend, because a proprietary blend is lawful under 21 CFR 101.36(c). It marks down what the blend costs a reader in information, which is a different complaint and the one this site can actually support.
The highest row on the card is label completeness, and it is genuinely earned: a full Supplement Facts panel, a directions panel, a storage line, a caution, a keep-out-of-reach line, an expiry date and the FDA disclaimer in full. Saying so is part of the method too. A scorecard that never gives credit is a marketing device pointed the other way.
What this site will not do
Some of these are legal requirements, some are editorial choices, and it is worth being clear about which is which. All of them are enforced across every page here.
- No invented figure. No price, no guarantee term, no shipping cost, no delivery estimate, no ingredient amount inside the blend. Where one was not supplied, the page says so.
- No invented source. Every study, regulation and monograph cited on this site was opened and read when this site was written. No identifier anywhere here was written from memory.
- No testimonial we wrote. The eight supplied review entries are published as supplied marketing copy with their repeated wording marked, and never as verified customers.
- No Review or AggregateRating structured data, on any page, for the reasons set out on the reviews page.
- No medical claim. The product is a dietary supplement. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, and nothing here diagnoses, treats, cures or prevents any disease.
- No lab document we do not hold. The lot SOD-26/SO-1425 and the CoA reference SOD-1425-26-SO are draft label references. They are not lab proof, and every page that mentions them says so.
The last one is the easiest to get wrong in good faith. A certificate-of-analysis reference number looks like evidence because it has the shape of evidence. It is a filing reference until somebody produces the document it refers to, and no document was produced to this site.
Corrections, and how to force one
If a sentence on this site is wrong, we would rather hear it from you than not hear it. Email the website inbox with the page and the sentence. Corrections are made on the page itself, with the date, rather than deleted quietly.
That includes corrections that are bad for the product. If a certificate of analysis appears, we will publish it and rewrite the testing page around it. If a per-ingredient breakdown appears, the budget page changes from a set of ceilings to a set of amounts, and it will say on the page which day that happened.
