OptiBiotix Health plc (AIM: OPTI), a life sciences company focused on products that reduce hunger and food cravings, improve the gut microbiome, and offer sweet fibres as healthy sugar alternatives, has announced the launch of its award-winning appetite-suppressing SlimBiome® in Hydroxycut Hunger Control.
Hydroxycut, marketed as America’s No.1 best-selling weight loss supplement brand, has sold over 100 million bottles in the past two decades* and is stocked by major US retailers including Walmart, Kroger, Target, GNC, Kmart, Albertsons, and CVS Pharmacies, as well as online outlets. In recent years, the brand has shifted towards more science-backed products, with SlimBiome® bringing proven, substantiated hunger control claims to the range.
The product launch follows the first order announcement on 15 April 2025 and is supported by marketing citing two OptiBiotix studies showing hunger reductions of 74% and 83%. Orders for a second SlimBiome®-containing product have been received, with launch expected later this year.
The initial rollout has already generated orders totalling just under five metric tonnes of SlimBiome® for 2025. The Board believes this partnership with one of the USA’s most recognised weight management brands presents significant growth potential and will provide further updates in due course.
Stephen O’Hara, CEO of OptiBiotix, commented: “We are pleased to announce the launch of products containing our patented award winning SlimBiome® in the USA. The Company has been working with Hydroxycut for almost two years to carry out human studies which allows the brand to make health claims of reductions in hunger of 74% and 83% in the USA. The launch with Hydroxycut substantiates the science behind SlimBiome and helps build the SlimBiome brand in consumer markets around the world. This is another example of the Company launching products with well-known brands in key international markets which if successful, individually and collectively, have the potential to make a significant contribution to future sales growth and shareholder value.”
