Highlights

  • OptiBiotix receives first low six-figure order for SlimBiome® and WellBiome® products.
  • Products scheduled for delivery and launch in Europe under distributor’s own brand in H1 2026.
  • Order reflects growing interest in natural alternatives to GLP-1 treatments in weight management.

OptiBiotix Health plc (LSE:OPTI), a life sciences business developing products to reduce hunger, support gut microbiome health, and provide sugar alternatives, has received its first order from a well-known European weight management company. The low six-figure order includes private label SlimBiome® finished products—gummies, bars, and drinks—as well as a WellBiome® product. These products are planned for delivery and launch in Europe in the first half of 2026.

The order follows an agreement announced by the Company on 20 August 2025. It aligns with OptiBiotix’s strategy of supplying finished products to customers through private label arrangements or ecommerce channels.

Interest in Appetite-Reducing Ingredients

The order highlights the rising demand among traditional weight management brands and emerging companies for ingredients backed by human studies showing appetite reduction similar to anti-obesity drugs. This trend is part of the fast-growing “natural alternative to GLP-1” market. According to Market Intelo, this market was valued at USD 1.2 bn in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 4.8 bn by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 16.7%.
