The roster

SodaFit® Ingredients & Blend Information

One line on this panel has a number. The other twenty-one share a single total. Here is the full list, what each one is, and what the research used.

The one line with a number on it

Chromium (as chromium picolinate) — 7 mcg, 20% of the daily value. An essential trace mineral with a documented role in normal macronutrient metabolism. Seven micrograms against a 35 mcg daily value is exactly 20%, so the panel's own arithmetic checks out — a small thing, but the kind of small thing that tells you someone was paying attention.

It is also, on a restricted diet, one of the minerals most easily under-consumed. Of the twenty-two actives on this label, chromium is the only one you can compare against a reference intake, and the manufacturer chose to show it to you.

The twenty-one that share 15.47 mg

Printed in the order the panel lists them, which by law is descending by weight. Extract ratios are the manufacturer's own.

The division, once more, because it is the whole point. 15.47 mg ÷ 21 = roughly 737 micrograms each. Descending order means the first names are larger and the last smaller, so the real split is uneven — but nothing on the label tells you by how much. If Maca took half the blend on its own, the remaining twenty would average 368 mcg. If it took nine tenths, they would average 74 mcg. Every one of those scenarios is consistent with this panel, and that is exactly what a proprietary blend is for.

Ingredient in focus

Green Tea Leaf Extract

The most-studied ingredient on this roster and the one most often used to justify a metabolism claim. Catechins, EGCG chief among them, plus naturally occurring caffeine.

What the research used, and what this label says. Catechin trials commonly run 300–800 mg a day of extract, often standardised to a stated EGCG percentage. This panel publishes neither an amount nor a standardisation, and the whole blend it sits inside is 15.47 mg.

Ingredient in focus

Gymnema Sylvestre Leaf Extract

The classic appetite ingredient. Gymnemic acids temporarily blunt sweet taste on the tongue, which is a real and pleasingly demonstrable effect.

What the research used, and what this label says. Trials generally use 200–400 mg a day, and the taste effect specifically depends on contact with the tongue rather than on swallowing. A liquid held briefly in the mouth is at least the right format for that; the amount is still not published.

Ingredient in focus

Forskohlii Root Extract

Coleus forskohlii, standardised in the research to forskolin. It is the ingredient with the most specific mechanism story in the blend.

What the research used, and what this label says. The protocol in the frequently cited trial is 250 mg of a 10% forskolin extract twice a day — 500 mg of extract daily. Neither the amount nor the forskolin percentage appears on this label.

Ingredient in focus

African Mango Seed Extract

Irvingia gabonensis, marked on this panel as a 10:1 concentrate — the one ingredient given a different ratio from the rest.

What the research used, and what this label says. The cited trials use 150 mg twice a day, and they are small and have been criticised. It is the only ingredient here whose ratio the manufacturer singled out, which suggests it matters to the formula; how much of it there is remains unpublished.

Being fair to the label

It would be easy to write this page as a hatchet job, and it would be wrong. Four things about this panel are better than the category average, and they are worth stating as plainly as the criticism:

Every ingredient is named, with species and plant part. Twenty-two names is a lot of disclosure next to a blend called “Metabolic Matrix”.
Extract ratios are published — 20:1 on most, 10:1 on the African mango. Most labels skip this entirely.
Chromium is broken out properly, with an amount and a correct %DV.
The other-ingredients list is short and unremarkable: water, natural flavours, potassium sorbate, stevia, xylitol, citrus extract. Zero calories, no artificial sweetener declared.

And the counter-argument the manufacturer would make — that a 20:1 concentrate is twenty times stronger than the raw herb, so small numbers go further — is a real argument that deserves to be run rather than waved away. We ran it, in a piece of its own. The short version: it helps, and it does not close a gap of this size, because the studies were mostly run on extracts too.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. The doses referenced above come from published human studies of single ingredients. None of them tested SodaFit.
