A YORK-BASED life sciences business working on compounds to help tackle problems such as obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes says an independent consumer survey “supports the science” behind its products.
OptiBiotix Health plc announced the results of the survey of its GoFigure products. These, in the form of meal replacement shakes and natural snack bars, contain SlimBiome, OptiBiotix’s patented formulation developed by experts in nutrition using ingredients shown to reduce weight in human studies.
The survey showed 100 per cent of customers who used the products over a continued period lost weight and reported that using GoFigure products led them to reduce food intake, typically by eating smaller food portions.
More than 90 per cent of customers reported that using GoFigure products had led to reduced snacking, and 83 per cent said they felt less hungry when using the product
Stephen O’Hara, chief executive of OptiBiotix, said: “We are delighted that this customer survey supports the science behind the SlimBiome formulation with GoFigure customers reporting reduced hunger, less snacking and easier weight loss,” he said.
“Hunger-free dieting is now a consumer option and we hope to see a wider range of products containing this unique formulation to support consumer choice.”
