Orchic Substance in SodaPeak: What an Animal-Derived Glandular Line Means
Orchic substance is a glandular, animal-derived ingredient listed seventh in the SodaPeak blend, so it weighs at most about 171 mg per two capsules. RxList says orchic extract is made from cattle testicles and that there is no evidence it is a source of testosterone. It rates the evidence insufficient and advises against use in pregnancy.

What it is01
What is orchic substance in SodaPeak?
Orchic substance is a glandular ingredient made from animal tissue. The SodaPeak panel lists it seventh, as "Orchic Substance", and does not say which animal, which part or in what form.
RxList, the drug reference, says orchic extract is made from cattle testicles. Some men take it to maintain testicular function, and marketers imply it is a source of testosterone. RxList is blunt about that: there is "no evidence to support this claim" (RxList, Orchic Extract).
Seventh place caps the line at 1,200 divided by 7, which is about 171 mg for two capsules (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)). The label gives no amount, no animal and no form.
| Name on the label | Orchic Substance |
|---|---|
| What it is | A glandular, animal-derived material; the label does not say which animal or tissue |
| Place on the panel | 7 of 8 in the blend |
| Amount per serving of 2 capsules | not printed; 171.4 mg at most by label order |
| Same ceiling at 1 capsule | 85.7 mg at most |
| Amount used in research | No established dose (RxList) |
| Strength of evidence | RxList: insufficient evidence to rate; not enough reliable information to know if it is safe |
| Marketed or traditional use | Marketed as a glandular men's-health ingredient |
| Main caution | RxList: concern about contamination with diseased animal parts (no reported disease transmission); avoid in pregnancy and breastfeeding. |
The evidence02
Does orchic extract work?
RxList rates the evidence as insufficient. That is not "it does not work". It means there is not enough reliable information to judge either way.
The same page says there is not enough reliable information to know whether orchic extract is safe, and gives no established dose. For a blend line that cannot be weighed, cannot be dosed and cannot be rated, the honest summary is that it is an unknown carried in the capsule.
| Question | What the source says |
|---|---|
| What is it made from? | Cattle testicles |
| Is it a source of testosterone? | No evidence to support the claim |
| Does it work? | Insufficient evidence to rate |
| Is it safe? | Not enough reliable information |
| What dose? | No established dose |
| Pregnancy and breastfeeding? | Avoid |
The seller's brief lists six herbs and does not mention orchic substance at all, so the label added a name the seller did not describe. We follow the label.
Safety03
Is orchic substance safe, and what is the contamination concern?
RxList raises concern about contamination with diseased animal parts, while noting that no disease transmission has been reported. The concern is about sourcing, not a known harm.
The label names no animal source, no country and no maker, so a reader cannot trace the material. That is why the questions below matter. A supplement is not tested by FDA before sale (FDA, Q&A on Dietary Supplements), and the company carries the duty to follow manufacturing rules. If sourcing matters to you, ask the order desk where the orchic material comes from.
Pregnancy and nursing
RxList advises avoiding orchic extract in pregnancy and breastfeeding. SodaPeak is for adults only.
Animal products
Anyone who avoids animal products for health or personal reasons should know this line is animal-derived. The capsule shell is gelatin too.
Sourcing
The panel names no animal, no source country and no maker. Ask before you rely on it.
Glandular products04
What should I know about glandular supplements in general?
A glandular supplement is made from animal glands or organs. The product class is old, and its evidence is thin for most members.
FDA does not approve dietary supplements for safety or effectiveness before they are sold. Companies are responsible for meeting safety and labeling rules, and if you have a bad reaction FDA says to stop using the product, get medical care and report it (FDA 101: Dietary Supplements). For an animal-derived ingredient the sourcing question sits on top of that duty.
Species and tissue
Ask which animal and which tissue. "Orchic" alone does not say.
Country and supplier
Ask where the material comes from and who handles it.
Testing
Ask for a certificate of analysis tied to the lot code on your bottle.
Your own limits
Decide whether an animal-derived product fits your health, diet and beliefs.

See packsA common idea05
Does eating glandular tissue raise testosterone?
RxList says there is no evidence for that claim. A hormone eaten in tissue is not the same as a hormone made in the body, and the digestive system breaks proteins down first.
Testosterone products that do raise levels are prescription drugs, approved by FDA only for men with low testosterone and a medical cause (FDA, Testosterone Information). A supplement is a different category, and the label's "Test Boost" name is a product name, not a finding.
If you are worried about low testosterone, the right sequence is a morning blood test and a clinician's reading (MedlinePlus, Testosterone Test). Read testosterone boosters and what the evidence supports and when to see a doctor.
Hives, swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing after a capsule: call 911. Other unusual symptoms: stop it and tell your clinician.
How much06
How much orchic substance is in SodaPeak?
The label does not say. The order allows at most about 171 mg per two capsules, and RxList gives no established dose to compare.
With no ceiling reference and no printed amount, the line can be read two ways: a meaningful fraction of the blend, or a trace added so the name can appear on the panel. The label cannot tell you which. The proprietary blend page shows how little a weight order says.
- Ask the order desk which animal and tissue the orchic material comes from.
- Ask for a certificate of analysis with a lot number.
- If you are pregnant, nursing or avoid animal products, skip it.
