## Desk score
- 2.4 / 5.
- The score is driven by what cannot be verified about how the
  product is sold, not by any proven harm from the product itself.

## Sourcing
This audit's factual findings are drawn from an investigation
published by ScamAdviser (a consumer-protection platform and member
of the Global Anti-Scam Alliance), researched by the De-Reviews.com
team and published in September 2026. Signal Desk summarises and
links that work; it did not independently reproduce each observation.
The original investigation is explicit that it makes no accusation
regarding the legality of the businesses involved, and this audit
holds the same line.

## Finding 1: the ingredient panel differs between storefronts
Independent reporting found that the label sold under the "SodaPeak"
name changes depending on the storefront. Some third-party listings
present an apple cider vinegar base; official landing domains list a
proprietary performance blend built around caffeine and herbal
stimulants such as green tea extract. Some marketing pages also
reference Maca root and Ashwagandha. There is no single unified
formula, so a buyer cannot confirm what they are actually taking.
This matters clinically: a caffeine/stimulant formula carries a very
different interaction profile (blood pressure medication, heart
conditions, anxiety, sleep) than an ACV-based one.

## Finding 2: purchase links have redirected to other brands
Researchers observed that buy links on at least one promotional page
(named in the investigation as a "sodapeak.vercel.app" address) sent
visitors into checkout funnels for entirely different supplement
brands, including one called VigorPeak, or to alternate billing
networks. The investigation offers two readings: automated back-end
scripts rotating traffic to capture different affiliate commissions,
or a single domain cycling through different supplement offers over
time. Practical consequence for a buyer: the company charging the
card may not be the brand on the bottle, which complicates support
and refunds.

## Finding 3: temporary developer-subdomain hosting
SodaPeak has been hosted across free developer subdomains (Vercel
and Lovable platforms) rather than a permanent corporate website.
Transient infrastructure makes standard consumer protections —
processing refunds, reaching long-term support — harder to rely on.

## Finding 4: iodine below the adult RDA on one variant
One variant's supplement facts panel lists iodine at 108 mcg per
serving against an adult Recommended Dietary Allowance of 150 mcg
(per NIH) — roughly 72% of the reference intake. This is a shortfall,
not a safety excess.

## Additional notes
- Apple cider vinegar in gummy form uses a dehydrated, processed
  powder, which substantially dilutes acetic acid content relative to
  the liquid vinegar used in the clinical trials commonly cited for
  ACV. A "1,000 mg ACV powder" label is not equivalent to 1,000 mg of
  that liquid.
- "Made in an FDA Registered Facility" and "GMP Quality" badges refer
  to manufacturing-facility registration and practice standards, not
  to FDA evaluation or approval of the product. The FDA does not
  approve dietary supplements before they reach market. SodaPeak's
  own fine print states this on the same pages carrying the badges.
- This audit deliberately publishes no dollar prices for SodaPeak's
  packages, because the documented redirect behaviour means the
  checkout a reader lands in may not be the one being quoted.
- No testimonial on SodaPeak's storefronts is treated as verified;
  given the redirect findings, it is not always clear which product a
  given review was written about.

## What this audit does NOT do
- Call SodaPeak a scam, or assert that any party has broken a law.
- Claim SodaPeak treats, cures or prevents any disease.
- Present marketing testimonials as independent evidence.
- Quote specific pricing or guarantee terms it could not confirm.
- Substitute for medical advice; readers on blood-pressure or heart
  medication, or sensitive to stimulants, are directed to a physician.
