Soda Peak Ingredients: What Each Herb Was Actually Studied For
Soda Peak lists eight ingredients in one 1,200 mg blend: horny goat weed, tongkat ali, saw palmetto, nettle root, wild yam, sarsaparilla, orchic substance and boron chelate. Most were studied alone for other goals, such as prostate symptoms, bone loss or testosterone in older men. None was studied for muscle in this blend, and the label prints no single amounts.

The list
What is on the Soda Peak ingredients list?
Eight ingredients under one blend line. This table shows the label order and the most each could weigh in a two-capsule serving, by label math. These are ceilings, not amounts. Real weights are almost certainly lower, since eight ingredients split 1,200 mg.
| # | Ingredient and part | At most | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Horny goat weed extract, leaf | 1,200 mg | Epimedium herb |
| 2 | Tongkat ali powder, root | 600 mg | Southeast Asian root, as raw powder |
| 3 | Saw palmetto extract, fruit | 400 mg | Palm berry extract |
| 4 | Nettle extract, root | 300 mg | Stinging nettle root |
| 5 | Wild yam extract, root | 240 mg | Dioscorea root |
| 6 | Sarsaparilla, root | 200 mg | Smilax root |
| 7 | Orchic substance | 171 mg | A glandular ingredient; source not stated |
| 8 | Boron amino acid chelate | 150 mg | Boron bound to amino acids |
The ceiling rule comes from FDA labeling: blend ingredients are listed from most to least by weight (FDA labeling guide ch. IV (blends)). At one capsule a day, halve every figure.
Group 1
Which ingredients were studied for the prostate?
Saw palmetto and nettle root. Both were tested for the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate, not for muscle.
Saw palmetto did not win. NCCIH reports two NIH-funded trials in which it was no better than placebo, and a 2023 review of 27 studies found little or no benefit (NCCIH: Saw palmetto). The trial dose was 320 mg a day, while the label's ceiling is 400 mg (LiverTox: Saw palmetto).
Nettle root did better, once. A 620-patient trial reported fewer symptoms, but a single author ran it and it needs repeating (Safarinejad 2005: Nettle for BPH). RxList rates the evidence as insufficient (RxList: Stinging nettle). Neither herb has been tested for muscle.
Group 2
Which ingredients were studied for testosterone or sexual use?
Tongkat ali has the most relevant human data, and horny goat weed has tradition. That is the honest gap between them.
Small and short
In 105 men aged 50 to 70 with low testosterone, total levels rose 9% to 12.5% over 12 weeks on 100 to 200 mg of standardized extract. Free testosterone did not change (LiverTox: Tongkat ali). Soda Peak lists root powder, at most 600 mg, so the forms do not compare.
Tradition, not proof
LiverTox says claims about sexual satisfaction are not proven in rigorous controlled trials (LiverTox: Horny goat weed). Memorial Sloan Kettering calls the sexual use traditional (MSK: Epimedium).
A 2020 review of 50 booster products found data showing a testosterone rise for only about a quarter of their ingredients (Clemesha 2020: T-booster claims). The name "Test Boost" tells you the marketing, not the evidence.
Short version
Key facts at a glance
- The panel: serving size 2 capsules, 30 servings per container, Test Boost Proprietary Blend 1200 mg, Daily Value not established.
- Label order is by weight, heaviest first. The ingredient in place k can weigh no more than 1,200 mg divided by k.
- Fillers and shell: calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and a gelatin capsule.
- A brand infographic shows ashwagandha, shatavari, safed musli and black pepper. None is on the Supplement Facts label.
- Orchic substance has no stated source. The gelatin capsule and orchic substance make the product unsuitable for vegetarians.
- Amounts per ingredient, lab report and source of the orchic substance: not published.

Group 3
Which ingredients come from bone research or folk use?
Horny goat weed also appears in bone research. Its best human data covers bone loss in women after menopause, including a 24-month trial (MSK: Epimedium). That is not a men's muscle study.
Wild yam and sarsaparilla live on myths. Wild yam contains diosgenin, which chemists can turn into steroids in a lab, but the human body does not make that change (MSK: Wild yam) (RxList: Wild yam). RxList calls the idea that sarsaparilla's sterols become testosterone a false claim, since no plant has been found to contain testosterone (RxList: Sarsaparilla).
Group 4
Which ingredients have no useful data at all?
Orchic substance has none. It is a glandular ingredient, and the label gives no species, country, amount or processing method. We found no reliable human study on it. Ask the seller what it is before you take it.
Boron is a known mineral with a clear limit and no testosterone results. NIH's upper limit for adults is 20 mg of boron a day, while typical U.S. food intake is about 1 to 1.5 mg (ODS: Boron). The label gives the chelate's weight, at most 150 mg, but not how much of that is boron.
The rest
What are the other ingredients in the capsule?
The "Other ingredients" line names calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and the gelatin capsule. They add bulk, keep powder from sticking and help the capsule open.
The gelatin is an animal product. With orchic substance, it means Soda Peak is not vegetarian, even though a brand badge says so. The label wins. Our ingredients page has a full page on each herb.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What are the ingredients in Soda Peak?
Eight, in label order: horny goat weed extract, tongkat ali powder, saw palmetto extract, nettle extract, wild yam extract, sarsaparilla, orchic substance and boron amino acid chelate. They share one 1,200 mg Test Boost blend, and the capsule is gelatin.
How much of each ingredient is in Soda Peak?
The label does not say. Under FDA labeling rules the order is by weight, so ingredient number k can weigh at most 1,200 mg divided by k. That is a ceiling, and the real amounts are almost certainly lower.
What does the Soda Peak label say?
The front reads VITALIFES, SUPPORTS HEALTHY MUSCLE*, SodaPeak, ADVANCED FORMULA, 60 capsule, DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS. The back lists the Supplement Facts, directions, storage, a caution, the FDA statement, the distributor Vitalifes and the expiry date.
Are ashwagandha or safed musli in Soda Peak?
No. A brand infographic shows ashwagandha, shatavari, safed musli and black pepper, but none of the four is in the Supplement Facts. The label shows what is in the bottle.
Why is a glandular ingredient in Soda Peak?
The label does not say. Orchic substance is a glandular ingredient with no stated source, species or purpose, and we found no reliable human data on it. Ask the seller before you take it if that matters to you.
Is Soda Peak vegetarian?
No. The capsule is gelatin, an animal product, and the blend includes orchic substance, a glandular ingredient. A brand badge says vegetarian, but it does not match the label.
Our view
Our view
Read as a whole, the ingredients list is a puzzle with the key pieces missing. The names are clear and the order is honest. The amounts, the strength of each extract and the source of the odd one out are not given.
Group the herbs by what they were studied for, and the picture clears. The prostate herbs were tested for the prostate, the root with the best data was tested in older men with low testosterone, and a few have only tradition. None was tested for muscle in this blend. Judge it with that in mind.
