Is SodaSlim Vegetarian? The Shell, the Fill and the Gaps in the Label
SodaSlim is described as vegetarian only by its shell: the label calls the capsule a vegetable (hypromellose) capsule. The five listed ingredients add up to 658 mg per capsule. The label does not use the words vegetarian or vegan, and it does not say where raspberry ketone comes from.

Is the SodaSlim capsule vegetarian?
The shell is. The label lists the other ingredient as hypromellose and calls it a vegetable capsule, which is a plant-based material, not animal gelatin.
SodaSlim is a capsule, not a drink, so the shell is the one part you swallow along with the five listed ingredients. A vegetarian only needs to ask two things: what is the shell made of, and what is inside it.
| Shell | Made from | Vegetarian? |
|---|---|---|
| Hypromellose | Plant cellulose | Yes, plant-based |
| Gelatin | Animal collagen | No |
SodaSlim uses the first kind, per its label.
What is inside a SodaSlim capsule besides the shell?
Five lines fill the capsule, and together they weigh 658 mg. Green coffee bean extract, raspberry ketone, garcinia extract and green tea extract are 130 mg each, and caffeine anhydrous is 138 mg.
Three of those lines name a plant source on the label: coffee seed, garcinia fruit and tea leaf. Raspberry ketone and caffeine anhydrous do not. The label does not say whether either is plant-made or made in a lab.

- Raspberry ketone130 mg19.8% of the listed weight
- Garcinia extract130 mg19.8% of the listed weight
- Caffeine anhydrous138 mg21.0% of the listed weight
- Green tea extract130 mg19.8% of the listed weight
Share by printed weight. Four lines are 130 mg and caffeine anhydrous is 138 mg, so no single ingredient dominates the capsule. The capsule shell is extra.
The shell is not counted in the 658 mg. Hover over the bar to see each line's share.
Does SodaSlim say it is vegan or free of animal products?
No. The label does not use the word vegan or the word vegetarian, and it names no vegan or vegetarian certifier.
A vegetarian badge appears in the seller's artwork. It is a seller badge, and no certifier is named. Treat it as the seller's statement, not as a test result. The FDA does not approve supplements before sale (FDA, Questions and answers on dietary supplements).
The label also does not print an allergen statement or a manufacturer name. If strict avoidance matters to you, ask before you buy. The order desk is at +1 (302) 200-3480, or write to [email protected].
- Ask what the raspberry ketone is made from.
- Ask whether any line is processed with animal-derived aids.
- Ask for the answer in writing and keep it with your order ID.

See packsIs a vegetarian capsule also the safer choice?
No. A plant-based shell says nothing about how safe the contents are, and it changes none of the cautions on the label.
Each capsule holds 138 mg of caffeine, which is 34.5% of the 400 mg a day the FDA gives for most healthy adults (FDA, Spilling the beans: how much caffeine is too much). The label says not for anyone under 18 or pregnant or nursing, and asks you to consult a physician first, especially with a medication or a medical condition.
Keep taking any prescribed medicine. For the full label read, see the ingredients page.

FAQ01
SodaSlim questions people ask
Are SodaSlim capsules made of gelatin?
No, the label says hypromellose, which it calls a vegetable capsule. Gelatin comes from animal collagen. The label does not say where each filling ingredient comes from, so ask the order desk if you avoid any animal-derived processing.
Is SodaSlim vegan?
The label does not say. It prints neither the word vegan nor a certifier. The shell is plant-based, but the sources of raspberry ketone and caffeine anhydrous are not stated. Ask the order desk in writing.
What is hypromellose?
Hypromellose is a plant-cellulose material used to make capsule shells. On the SodaSlim label it is the only other ingredient listed, and it is described as a vegetable capsule. It is the shell, not an active ingredient.
