René Kamminga, CEO of OptiBiotix Ltd., a subsidiary of OptiBiotix Health Plc located in York, U.K., stated that “While there has been a large appetite from consumers for high protein snacks, the rise of the high fiber snack trend is not far behind.” She continued, “According to the latest research from the International Food Information Council (IFIC), fiber is now the most sought-after ingredient by consumers, with more than half of survey respondents saying they are trying to eat more of it.”1 Kamminga added that manufacturers now want to adopt more ingredients that contain higher amounts of fiber.
Kamminga shared that OptiBiotix Ltd knows that “an individual’s microbiome is as unique to them as their fingerprint, so we investigate how probiotics and prebiotics can be used to increase the presence of health positive bacteria in order to prevent and manage human health (including metabolic diseases) and wellbeing.”
The company offers WellBiome Gummies, “which are available as a white label option [and] are an excellent example of how high fiber content, combined with an apple and strawberry flavor, can offer consumers delicious on-the-go snacking [that is] good for the gut.” WellBiome, which is their latest ingredient, offers a science-backed, healthy aging solution that counteracts the age-related deterioration of certain health promoting bacterial strains. It is “a mix of prebiotic fibers, trace minerals and botanicals specifically designed to counteract some of these age-related effects on the microbiome to promote certain health effects.”
OptiBiotix Ltd also offers SlimBiome, which was the first prebiotic solution the company brought to market. It is “an ingredient used in nutritional food products or in nutritional supplements to support people losing weight. Whilst people reduce their calorie intake, SlimBiome increases satiety by keeping the individual fuller longer, by reducing sugar peaks and by modifying the gut composition toward that of a lean person.” She noted that human studies have demonstrated that it helps people to support their changes in dietary habits and, as a result, they lose more weight and are better able to sustain their weight loss.
The results of the company’s latest study on SlimBiome showed that “taking SlimBiome for four weeks led to significantly reduced body weight (average 1.9 kg, or 4.1 lbs.), BMI, body fat percentage, waist and hip circumference and systolic blood pressure. In addition, participants showed a reduction in sweet cravings, a statistically significant reduction in savory cravings, a substantial improvement in mood and a positive impact on gut microbiome composition.”
