OptiBiotix to launch SlimBiome® Medical to the EU market at Vitafoods
Europe 2019
OptiBiotix Health Plc (AIM: OPTI), a life sciences business developing compounds to
tackle obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes, is to commercially launch its
innovative weight management solution SlimBiome® Medical ('SlimBiome®') to the
European market on May 7, at Vitafoods Europe 2019.
SlimBiome®, which is a CE marked medical device, offers a healthy, hunger-free
weight management solution designed for use by itself, or as part of a calorierestricted diet, to reduce hunger and help users achieve sustainable weight loss.
Independent clinical studies show SlimBiome® reduces hunger, cravings for sweet
and savoury foods, and fat intake.
Taking place from May 7 until May 9, Vitafoods Europe 2019 brings together
nutraceutical expertise from more than 110 countries. This year's event will be held
in Geneva, Switzerland and OptiBiotix will be exhibiting alongside Nutrilinea on
stand B20.
This commercial launch follows on from the announcement that SlimBiome® was
granted medical device status and a CE mark in November 2018 (RNS: 27 November
2018), followed by the appointment of Nutrilinea S.R.L as a manufacturer (RNS: 29
November 2018) and the signature of distribution agreements for Greece, Cyprus
(RNS: 4 December 2018) and Bulgaria (RNS: 9 April 2019) as well as the successful
commercial launch to the UK market on April 29 2019 (RNS: 24 April 2019).
Fred Narbel, Managing Director of the Prebiotics division, commented: "We
are delighted to present SlimBiome® Medical to the EU market at Vitafoods as it is one
of the most significant annual nutraceutical events in Europe. The launch allows us to
continue to deliver on our sales strategy of building multiple revenue streams across
various sales channels because it will help us accelerate the expansion our distribution
and sales network in Europe and beyond and support recent distribution agreements
we have established."
