It may be that the major players want more control over things than OPTI wanted. The truth is we just don't know why but I would rather have a company I could work with and trust than one I couldn't. I think we now need revenue and sales figures etc to back up the recent deals. When people see the real worth of OPTI things will improve quite quickly here I suspect.

I've just joined today with an initial 7k having read Hot Stk Rockets and posts here for some time. A lot seems to be happening lately with hopefully more news to come. Re harold's post about the big boys not coming in,this is still well below the radar. I'm sure if OPTI signs a couple more decent contracts, interest will increase.

Bobdown et al
We have had more positive news in the last few months then at any time in the previous 2 years and yet we are still trading in the 65p - 80p range.

I am getting the distinct feeling that we will see a major change in sentiment and price, when some trading results are published showing a turnover in excess of £5 million and a bottom line on that of circa £3 million.

At the moment SOH is rightly loathed to project any turnover figures, with new products and the general public not yet understanding what the microbiobe can do, it is a wait and see scenario.

They should give a goody bag to everyone.however if the products need to be reformulated we at least will know that the taste will be improved. We could try and see if we lose weight and if that facet works they will get new shareholders and new customers. A win win solution.
In reality if the product works and one sees reduction in weight one would carry on using it despite the taste/ lumps.

[bobdown2] 19/9/2017 08:42

Five positive r.n.s statements in two weeks. Things are busy!!

[parob] 19/9/2017 08:38

Yep!OptiBiotix will demonstrate LPLDL at stand Q137 and SlimBiome at stand Q175 during the event, held on September 27-28, where delegates can discover these leading-edge products for themselves and discuss their needs with the team.

[haroldthegreat] 19/9/2017 08:37

Mega with a 20k investment you are not unbiased! You will hardly write up a bad review. One doesn't bite the hand that feeds you.
There had to be a reason why the big players did not jump in. The holy Grail of weight loss should have been grabbed with both hands.

[siennadelekat21] 19/9/2017 08:34

So Opti products will now be represented at two separate stands at the Supply Side West trade show!I'm liking that : )Sienna

Great to see the Slimbiome product evolution, I was never a huge fan of shakes or bars for the exact reasons listed in the RNS. Hopefully they will bring a few samples for us to road test this evening (better still when are they going to bring out Slimbiome beer!)

[meganxmas] 19/9/2017 08:29

Haroldthegreat... I have about £20k optx and have been a recurring user of shakes and bars. the shakes HAVE had an issue with solubility ie takes too much shaking to get rid of all lumps so hopefully this adresses issue. the 3 fkavours and tastes are good and suspect have held off roll out of flavours until above resolved. all in my opinion only.

Technical Update

OptiBiotix has developed an improved version of SlimBiome(R) using advanced processing technology which provides the following benefits:-

i. Creating a single homogenous product reducing component separation in transport and improving product consistency. This opens up new application opportunities in areas which lack the ability to blend or remix SlimBiome(R) (e.g. in store bakeries)

ii. Enhanced solubility giving better product presentation and greatly enhancing flavour and mouthfeel. This improves the taste and consumer experience of products containing SlimBiome(R) such as 'GoFigure(R)' shakes and bars

iii. Improved dispersion in water opening up new applications areas to meets demand for 'on the go' products

Does this mean we know why the slimming products haven't had much repeat business as they don't taste or disperse as well as they should ? Why didn't they wait to launch until they solved the problems.
It might explain why slim guard didn't jump at the opportunity to add it to their range .tonights presentation might be interesting ?
Nobody who wrote up their experience on the board with go figure products mentioned the dispersion problem but the taste was commented on
.perhaps they can report on their weight loss now.

Great RNS in my eyes. Just one thing to note. We have obtained FDA registration not FDA approval which is a slightly different thing. Difference between food products and drug/pharmacy products I guess. We don't get an FDA certificate for example. Great progress nonetheless. Just wanted to point out there is a difference in the terminology.

[judijudi] 19/9/2017 08:06

I wouldn't call it a "great rns"
It's very welcome and it's another brick in the wall
Market as usual taking no notice whatsoever

[devonlad] 19/9/2017 08:03

More great news from OPTI, only a matter of time now before this gets to £1 with commercial deals rolling in and more due soon.

[someuwin] 19/9/2017 08:02

This is like three RNSs in one...

* New improved Slimbiome developed.

* FDA approval for both Slimbiome AND LP-LDL.

* New joint development partner - Cereal Ingredients Inc.

"Further product development is ongoing with a number of manufacturers, corporates and large retailers to extend SlimBiome(R)'s application into 'Health & Wellbeing' food and beverage products."

[riskybusiness1] 19/9/2017 07:52

Good announcement. Another example to why go figure was used as a soft launch...they've clearly taken all the feedback and ironed out any issues before readying for mass market. Rarely get second attempts when you fail taking something to mass market.

[trotterstrading] 19/9/2017 07:44

You can't build a house without solid foundations but SoH and the OPTI team are not building a house, they're building a city from the ground up, and it won't be long before they are cutting the ribbon

[rafboy] 19/9/2017 07:37

Really cracking on now. Great news update.

Cereal Ingredients Inc. Exhibitor listing at Supply Side West:

Slimbiome® is a unique combination of natural ingredients (glucomannan, chromium and nondigestible prebiotic fibers) formulated by leading experts to support healthy weight management and weight loss.

I reckon we'll get another RNS on this partnership before the show opens.

[bobdown2] 19/9/2017 07:18

Addressing allot of the dislikes with the gofigure products as well as moving the product into new areas. We could see a small increase in near term revenues with new products and another later release of new products into diferent new markets. Opti continues grow...again...good stuff !!!

[shrewdmole] 19/9/2017 07:14

Fda approval!! Most companies Rns when they apply.

Soh just gets on with it.

What other surprises are we going to get

[deeppockets] 19/9/2017 07:09

US market is huge! Bring it on!

OptiBiotix Health plc

("OptiBiotix" or the "Company")



SlimBiome®: Technical, Regulatory and Commercial Update



OptiBiotix Health plc (AIM: OPTI), a life sciences business developing compounds to tackle obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes and skin care, provides the following technical, regulatory and commercial update on its SlimBiome® product platform.



Technical Update



OptiBiotix has developed an improved version of SlimBiome® using advanced processing technology which provides the following benefits:-



i. Creating a single homogenous product reducing component separation in transport and improving product consistency. This opens up new application opportunities in areas which lack the ability to blend or remix SlimBiome® (e.g. in store bakeries)

ii. Enhanced solubility giving better product presentation and greatly enhancing flavour and mouthfeel. This improves the taste and consumer experience of products containing SlimBiome® such as 'GoFigure®' shakes and bars

iii. Improved dispersion in water opening up new applications areas to meets demand for 'on the go' products

iv. Lower manufacturing costs due to less waste and more efficient production processes



Commercial and Regulatory Update



OptiBiotix has made significant progress developing and enhancing its pipeline of innovative products with a strong scientific and clinical evidence base. This has attracted commercial interest from a range of manufacturing, retail and corporate partners. Recent commercial developments include:-



i. The Company has obtained FDA registration for both its LP-LDL® and SlimBiome® product ranges allowing access to the US market

ii. The Company will be launching its improved version of SlimBiome® at Supply Side West and exhibiting with a potential joint development partner, Cereal Ingredients Inc from Kansas, USA. Cereal Ingredients is a privately held specialty ingredients manufacturer, dedicated to the development and manufacture of unique, high-quality products that contribute a meaningful point of difference. Cereal Ingredients are looking to incorporate SlimBiome® into their range of cereal based particulates and ingredients, aimed at the nutraceutical, health and wellbeing sectors of the industry.



Further product development is ongoing with a number of manufacturers, corporates and large retailers to extend SlimBiome®'s application into 'Health & Wellbeing' food and beverage products. This is to coincide with increased consumer awareness of using functional natural ingredients as part of a healthy lifestyle to manage and reduce the risks of illness and disease.



Stephen O'Hara, CEO of OptiBiotix, commented: "We have made significant progress in our transition from a research and development company to a commercial business, recently agreeing deals with Tata, Sacco and Nutrilinea; companies with high industry reputations and a global network of distribution partners. This announcement updates investors on the technical and commercial progress of our SlimBiome® product platform, building on its proven science and consumer efficacy in GoFigure® products. As we build the range of applications, products and geographic scope of SlimBiome® with new manufacturing and distribution partners, the scale of the opportunity enlarges allowing us to fully exploit the revenue generating potential of our products. If successful, this low risk, low cost approach to accessing multiple consumer healthcare and pharmaceutical markets around the world with multiple products has the potential to cumulatively generate substantive revenues in the forthcoming years across all platforms."
