RNS Number : 7302H  OptiBiotix Health PLC  17 November 2025

OptiBiotix Health plc

("OptiBiotix" or the "Company" or "the Group")

 

First order with well-known Weight Management Company

 

OptiBiotix Health plc (AIM: OPTI, OTCQB: OPTBF), a life sciences business
developing products which reduce hunger and food cravings, enhance the gut
microbiome, and sweet fibres as healthy sugar substitutes, announces it has
received a first order from a well-known weight management company (the
"Distributor").  The order follows on from an agreement announced on 20
August 2025. The low six-figure first order includes the supply of a range of
private label SlimBiome® finished products (gummies, bars, drinks) and a
WellBiome® product planned for delivery and launch in Europe under the
Distributor's own brand in H1 2026.  This is consistent with the Company's
strategy of providing more finished product either via ecommerce or, as in
this case, private label products to customers.

 

The order reflects the interest in bringing ingredients with human studies
which show appetite reduction similar to the anti-obesity drugs to traditional
weight management brands, and new brands looking to enter the fast evolving
'natural alternative to GLP1 market', which is redefining the weight
management market. This market is estimated to be worth $1.2 billion in
2024 and is projected to reach $4.8 billion by 2033, growing at a compound
annual growth rate of 16.7% (Market Intelo, 2024).

 

This follows on from the launch of SlimBiome with a number of large partners
and well-known brands internationally including:-

 

I.    Hydroxycut, a brand which describes itself as the No. 1 selling
weight loss supplement brand in the United States of America ("USA"), which is
sold online and via major retail outlets including Walmart across the USA.

II.  LightLife, a new brand from Dr Morepen which was launched online in
December 2024 and is now expanding into retail across India and looking to
extend their product range.

III. The launch of SlimBiome in Holland and Barrett's SlimExpert range.  We
anticipate new positioning of products in 2026 reflecting the evolution of the
weight management market.

IV. The inclusion of SlimBiome as LeanBiome in leading sports brands like
Muscletech and Myprotein.

 

 

Stephen O'Hara, CEO of OptiBiotix Health plc said: "We are pleased to announce
this large first order with a well-known European weight management company.
The order reflects the growing interest in bringing ingredients with human
studies demonstrating appetite reduction, similar to the anti-obesity drugs,
to brands looking to enter this fast growing 'natural alternative to GLP1
market'.

 

"This is another example of the Company launching products with well-known
brands in international markets which helps build the SlimBiome brand and, if
successful individually and collectively, have the potential to make a
significant contribution to future sales growth and shareholder value."
