Orchic Substance: What Does the Label Mean?

What is orchic substance?
Orchic substance is a glandular supplement ingredient, an extract of testicular tissue. RxList describes orchic extract as a product made from cattle testicles (RxList, Orchic Extract).
It follows a "like supports like" idea. Marketers suggest it is a good source of testosterone, but RxList says no evidence stands behind that.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is it | Extract of cattle testicles |
| Evidence | Insufficient for any use |
| Source of testosterone | No evidence |
| Safety and dose | Not enough information to judge |
Why is the evidence for orchic substance so thin?
The evidence is thin because there is not enough reliable human research to judge safety or to set a dose (RxList, Orchic Extract).
Because it is animal-derived, there is a theoretical concern about contamination with diseased animal parts. No known disease transmission is reported.
It should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Is SodaPeak vegetarian with orchic substance in it?
No. Orchic substance is animal-derived and the capsule is gelatin, so SodaPeak is not vegetarian, even though one brand badge says it is.
The badge is a seller claim, not a certificate. The label does not name the animal source, so a vegetarian, a vegan or anyone with dietary rules cannot confirm it from the bottle.

See packsHow much orchic substance is in SodaPeak?
At most 171 mg per serving by label order. Orchic substance is line 7 of 8, so 1,200 divided by 7 gives the ceiling (21 CFR 101.36 (Supplement Facts, proprietary blends)).
An even split would be 150 mg. The label prints no real figure, and RxList says a dose cannot be set from the available information.

FAQ01
SodaPeak questions people ask
Is orchic substance the same as orchic extract?
They appear to describe the same kind of glandular material. RxList's entry is titled orchic extract and says it is made from cattle testicles (RxList, Orchic Extract). The SodaPeak label does not say which animal.
Does orchic substance contain testosterone?
No source says it does in a useful amount. RxList says the marketers' suggestion that it is a good source of testosterone has no evidence behind it (RxList, Orchic Extract).
Is orchic substance safe in pregnancy?
It should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding, per RxList (RxList, Orchic Extract). SodaPeak is also not meant for anyone under 18.
Can vegetarians take SodaPeak?
No. Orchic substance is animal-derived and the capsule is gelatin. The vegetarian badge in the brand's image set conflicts with the label.
