SlimBiome(R) Medical launches in UK market
OptiBiotix Health plc (AIM: OPTI), a life sciences business
developing compounds to tackle obesity, high
cholesterol and diabetes, announces the launch of its innovative
weight management solution SlimBiome(R) Medical to the UK
market.
SlimBiome(R) Medical, which is a CE marked medical device,
offers a healthy, hunger-free weight management solution designed
for use by itself, or as part of a calorie-restricted diet, to
reduce hunger and help users achieve sustainable weight loss.
Independent clinical studies show SlimBiome(R) reduces hunger,
cravings for sweet and savoury foods, and fat intake. It will be
available in boxes of 30 single dose sachets and for purchase from
the OptiBiotix Online store (Optibiotix.online) from 29 April
2019.
This commercial launch follows on from the announcement that
SlimBiome(R) was granted medical device status and a CE mark (RNS:
27 November 2018), the appointment of Nutrilinea S.R.L as a
manufacturer (RNS: 29 November 2018), and three year distribution
agreements for Greece and Cyprus (RNS: 4 December 2018) and
Bulgaria (RNS: 9 April 2019).
OptiBiotix is also pleased to report prelaunch sales of
SlimBiome(R) Medical to Bridge4 Health Ltd, a unique health and
well-being centre based in Leicester. Bridge4 Health will conduct a
three month SlimBiome(R) Medical field trial involving its gym
members to support healthy sustained weight loss. These early deals
and sales orders so soon after achieving medical device
registration reflect the high level of interest we have received in
SlimBiome(R) Medical from an industry which recognises the value of
products with strong science and published human studies.
The online sale of SlimBiome(R) Medical as a final product is
another example of OptiBiotix's strategy of building multiple
revenue streams from ingredient sales, white label and own label
branded consumer products, across multiple sales channels. It
provides a new route to market for SlimBiome(R) allowing the
company to generate immediate revenues while building sales with
international and retail partners from SlimBome(R) as an
ingredient, medical device, and in white label or branded GoFigure
final products. We anticipate further commercial agreements for
SlimBiome(R), SlimBiome(R) Medical, and GoFigure products in
international markets in the months ahead.
Fred Narbel, Managing Director of the Prebiotics division,
commented: "SlimBiome(R) Medical is a innovative product
transforming the way weight loss is traditionally approached as it
delivers a sustainable, science-backed weight control system which
offers dieters additional support to sustain and/or maintain weight
loss. We are delighted to be able to bring this product to the UK
market through our online store which allows us to build early
revenues at high margin through direct to consumer sales."
