Eight Ingredients on the Label, Six on the Box

What this blog is for
These posts exist because the questions people ask about SodaPeak are almost never really about SodaPeak. They are about the category: what to do when a panel and a box disagree, what a vegetarian seal is actually worth, and what the federal summaries on these botanicals really say.
Each post answers one of those without needing you to buy anything. Where SodaPeak comes up, it is usually as the example that fails the point being made — using somebody else’s product as the bad example while selling this one would be the cheapest move available.
Longer reference material sits in the guides section: a full guide to the muscle-support category, and a seven-step method for choosing within it.
Method
How this blog works
How posts are chosen
By what the order desk and the website desk are actually asked. Three questions come up more than any others: why the box lists six ingredients and the bottle lists eight, whether the product is vegetarian, and whether any of these eight botanicals have research behind them. Those are the three posts.
Each one is written so that a reader who buys nothing still leaves with something they can use on any product in this category. That is the test a post has to pass before it is published here, and it is why none of these is a list of reasons to buy SodaPeak.
How posts are written
The same rules as the rest of this site. Every outside source is a government or national-body page that was opened and read before it was cited, and they are listed at the bottom of each post. No study identifier is printed from memory. No competitor is named, because a comparison written by a seller is an advertisement with a table in it. Where SodaPeak appears, it is usually as the example that fails the point being made.
Corrections
Every post carries a published date and a last-updated date. If something here is wrong, email the website desk with the post and what is wrong; the post is corrected and its updated date moves forward.
More posts
The generator behind this site reads posts from a list, so new ones can be added without touching any other page. The three already queued: what a glandular ingredient is, why descending order by weight is the only thing a proprietary blend still tells you, and how to read a certificate of analysis if one is ever published for this product.
