Two down - another 37 potential announcements before year end!

[michaelmouse] 24/8/2017 07:34

Just to give you all a reality check. The last trade show was Vitafoods for the European markets in early May (again announced through a RNS). In fact the RNS is virtually the same word for word. LOL:-



4 months later there are no significant deals on the table, and that's Europe. The US market will be even harder to crack.

Significant revenues are still years away never mind profits and cashflow.

Where are the interims and how much cash is left? LOL.

Parob

That's purely the raw ingredient at this stage I believe.

The Rns is stating that there are products to be manufactured to include the ingredient.

Eg Sacco will sell 'X' tonnes of ldlpl to for instance benecol to add to their dairy products so the it's the end consumer good that's still in discussion.

Like many here said that Sacco Rns is the gate being unlocked now as any serious major retail partner will have wanted security and comfort of supply.

Now that's unplaced I suspect we will see regular Rns for different products and different regions.

Soh has played a blinder and obviously hasn't done quick cheap deals, he wants our products in everything on every shelf!!

Dairy? Yoghurt a and good bacteria drink?

[parob] 24/8/2017 07:19

SOH has always said there's strong interest from the US, and this trade show should cement that interest. It's only next month! 25-30 discussions came off the back of Vitafoods. I guess we can expect similar from this show. This should generate regular newsflow towards the end of this year and H1 2018."Discussions continue to progress with corporate partners for the manufacture and distribution of products containing LP(LDL) (R) in the European, Asian and other international markets."I thought the global manufacturer was now in place with Sacco?

[bobdown2] 24/8/2017 07:14

New product concepts..that part looks interesting. Reads like allot of work could have been done already

[f3rdinand] 24/8/2017 07:11

When you consider the amount of interest garnered from the last exhibition... same again would be nice!

[rafboy] 24/8/2017 07:04

It just gets better and better. We are on a roll.

OptiBiotix Health plc

("OptiBiotix" or the "Company")

US product launch of LP(LDL) (R) at Supply Side West trade show

OptiBiotix Health plc (AIM: OPTI), a life sciences business developing compounds to tackle obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes and skin care, announces it plans for a US launch of LP(LDL) (R), its cholesterol and blood pressure lowering product, at Supply Side West in Las Vegas, on 27-28 September 2017. This follows the global manufacturing and supply agreement with Sacco S.r.l. ("Sacco") announced on 22 August 2017.

The Supply Side West tradeshow brings together more than 15,000 ingredient buyers and suppliers from the supplement, beverage, functional food, personal care and sports nutrition industries and is viewed as one of the world's leading trade fairs for the food and drinks industry.

OptiBiotix will co-exhibit with Sacco and will present new product concepts, as well as launching existing products containing its cholesterol reducing strain (LP(LDL) (R)) at the show, including:-

-- CholBiome(R): a proprietary formulation containing LP(LDL) (R) to reduce cholesterol levels and blood pressure; and
-- CardioBiome(R): a proprietary formulation containing LP(LDL) (R) to reduce a wide range of cardiovascular disease factors and improve long term heart health.

The US launch of LP(LDL) (R), CholBiome(R) and CardioBiome(R) at Supply Side West is the first of a number of commercial steps taken to supply LP(LDL) (R) to food, beverage, consumer healthcare and pharmaceutical partners to be incorporated into final formulations and presentations for distribution and sale into the US market.

The US is one of the largest and fastest-growing probiotic markets in the world, with supplements alone accounting for US$2.06bn sales, with a projected 55% growth to US$3.3bn by 2021. Discussions continue to progress with corporate partners for the manufacture and distribution of products containing LP(LDL) (R) in the European, Asian and other international markets.

Stephen O'Hara, CEO of OptiBiotix, commented: "OptiBiotix has made significant progress in raising industry awareness of its LP(LDL) (R) strain. This has created a high level of interest in commercialising products containing LP(LDL) (R) as a component in higher value branded products in markets globally. Exhibiting at Supply Side West creates the opportunity to communicate with high-end decision makers in the US market with the potential to generate revenues for different formulations and presentations across numerous applications at multiple points in the value chain with US and international partners."

OptiBiotix and Sacco will be available at booth Q137.

Part of the KSF deal - hxxp://www.biotech-capital.com/companies/news/121261/optibix-health-inks-slimfast-tie-up-121261.html

[incanus] 23/8/2017 23:42

I thought it was slimfast. Its also in the header. Is someone holding back?

[shrewdmole] 23/8/2017 23:39

Maybe
That's the dsm deal I think.

[diablo26261] 23/8/2017 23:29

Shrewd, Elrico and others have mentioned Slimfast in the past maybe that is the one you were thinking of.

[parob] 23/8/2017 21:38

In yesterday's interview SOH mentioned lots of interest from dairy companies in Asia - could Tata be one of those companies?

From the link LoungeAct posted a few weeks back:



Tata Chemicals is trying to build a food business around the theme of health, an especially hard problem when the definition of what constitutes healthy food keeps changing. Reducing sugar and oil is generally considered healthy, but recent research has shown that health and disease is far more complicated than what we imagined so far.

Specifically, the discovery of the role of microorganisms in disease has uncovered an entirely new field that is growing in sophistication every day, and providing clues to what really happens in our bodies. Tata Chemicals is trying to build a business around the microbiome, the scientific name for the complete set of microorganisms living in our bodies.

---------------

Last year it was reported that Tata were looking to enter the dairy business:

Tata Global Beverages eyeing dairy move



And SOH has said:

"Tata is a substantive partner and shareholders who have met me will recognise I won't breach commercial sensitivities, particularly as we hope this is the first of a number of agreements."

All just speculation of course! OPTI could be talking to any of these Indian or Chinese dairies:

[jimmylufc] 23/8/2017 21:31

Hi Elrico - thanks and yes I trust your posts on here and plus we're in the lower league for now so not a danger to your boys - think we have a long way to go for that ! Like most on here your posts are most appreciated and unbelievably I quite like Man U (London born and live in london) so haven't got that local edge - I do think OPTI are going places and have invested a relatively large amount (for me) which I intend to hold for the long term

[shrewdmole] 23/8/2017 21:20

My mistake slarty probably put 2 and 2 together and got 5.
It would fit very well.

[bobdown2] 23/8/2017 20:44

That is probably ok...but I find a gofigure sachet easy to open...

epigenetics is the modification of gene expression by diet and ketogenic diet is the most powerful. Cholesterol is now known to be a red herring. Increasing healthy fat is more important. Fat and protein do not lead to hunger as that is insulin created for carbs. Intermittent fasting 16 hrs a day with two meals at 12 30 am and 6pm mean I eat more and don't get hungry. My visceral and body fat is down drastically after a year to 3% and 5% and diabetes is now improving. I'm 6ft, in my 60s and 75kg now, previously 87kg.
This is all tried and tested by myself. Eggs will reduce cholesterol, 3 a day from their lecithin content. Raw beetroot juice with meals and/or two thirds teaspoon Epsom Salts split in 2 doses between meals will reduce BP.
2g vitamin C powder taken at the first sign of illness will weaken it and you can take 2g every hour if you have something severe like sepsis which I did. Antibiotics would not be successful second time around, vitamin C fixed it overnight. By the way vitamin C cannot be toxic as your body just lost one liver enzyme to make it. The detox system is intact and goats make 13-25g a day,so scale up your body weight and you have your max dose unless your bowels get loose which is a warning to reduce dose.
I posted this after seeing the weight loss products above in the bulletin board. These techniques I mention really work permanently for me and others.

Microbiome is realised to be central to health but in this case the friendly gut bacteria are being fed rather than you, though they contribute minerals and butyric acid for your health. Good luck if OPTI can turn a profit

[shrewdmole] 23/8/2017 20:24

Sorry my mistake.

[elrico] 23/8/2017 20:21

No Shrewdie. Who are you confusing me with? Where have you heard that? I don't believe I suggested a tie up.

[shrewdmole] 23/8/2017 20:18

Elrico

Have you heard anymore about a possible tie up with weight watchers?

[elrico] 23/8/2017 20:17

Hi Jimmy - I thought Leeds fans didn't trust us Manu fans? Strange times indeed. :)

Seriously, sorry pal, I don't. It would be pure speculation on my part. I would wager (pure guess) the ex divi date could be the IPO. Anyone selling post IPO may well have lost out. This is how my logic is based on "retrospective" wording in one of the RNS's, but may well be flawed. The alternative could be between date of announcement of the intention to spin out SkinBiotix and the IPO date. I am sure others may have other options, equally speculative.

Welcome aboard.

[jimmylufc] 23/8/2017 19:56

Hi Elrico- thanks for your valuable research - I have bought in here over the course of this week and intend to buy a view more - do we know the qualifying dates at this point ? Thanks
