deceptively high in sugar and calories, leading consumers with
healthy intentions who use these products to gain, rather than
lose, weight. By combining OptiBiotix's award winning
SlimBiome® technology with CII's market-leading
ingredients manufacturing capacity and product development, we have
created a delicious functional solution which can help customers
manage their weight by reducing snacking and food intake without
food cravings. We are delighted to share this innovative science

from around the world at the Natural Products Expo West &

OptiBiotix was formed in March 2012 to develop
compounds which modify the human microbiome - the collective genome
of the microbes in the body - to prevent and manage human
disease.
The aim of OptiBiotix is to discover and
develop microbial strains, compounds and formulations, which
modulate the human microbiome and can be used as food ingredients
and supplements or active compounds for the prevention and
management of human metabolic diseases, examples of which include
obesity, cholesterol and lipid distribution and
diabetes.
OptiBiotix has established a pipeline of microbiome modulators
that can impact on lipid and cholesterol management, energy harvest
and appetite suppression. The development pipeline is fuelled by
its proprietary OptiScreen® and OptiBiotic® platform technologies
designed to identify metabolic pathways and compounds that impact
on human physiology and bring potential health benefits.
