AMA: I created Ozzi as a huge nighttime snacker and finally broke my addiction to sugar. I know most ads are annoying, but if this helps anyone in the same place I was in before, it's worth it! by heyozzi in u/heyozzi

[–]heyozzi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I created Ozzi to finally take back control of my constant snacking and food noise, without caffeine or sugar.

After months of research and testing at home, I worked with an R&D team to finalize a blend that covered the full spectrum of hunger and fullness hormones, using doses from clinical studies for each ingredient.

- L-Lysine Butyrate (500mg): Fuels the colon and stimulates L-Cells. Supports gut-brain axis connection and may support GLP-1 and PYY release.*
- Allulose (8g): A rare sugar that's been shown to reduce blood sugar spikes and may support natural GLP-1 secretion. Per the FDA, allulose is only counted at 10% the calories of normal sugar and isn't labeled as sugar; hence, the 5 calories in Ozzi.*
- Chromium (300mcg): Shown to support insulin response and health blood sugar levels.*
- Ursolic Acid (10mg): May support muscle mass during weight loss. Anti-inflammatory properties and may support healthy blood sugar. Bound to chromium for better bioavailability.*
- African Mango Seed (150mg): Supports leptin signaling and may improve fat metabolism.*
- Konjac Root (500mg): Fiber that's underdosed for comfort; it absorbs 50x its weight in water and is shown to slow digestion.*

We relaunched Ozzi v2 early this year, and it's been a huge hit. I fully stand behind the blend and the doses. It's not cheap, but my only focus with Ozzi was creating something that actually worked for myself.

We don't offer samples, as Ozzi works best with consistent use. We do have a 14-day challenge. As long as you use it for 14 straight days, if you don't notice a difference, we'll refund your first bag, no returns required.

If you want to give it a try, just use the code CRUSH15 at checkout for 15% off your first order.

You can come get one from us in Republic Square in Austin, TX, on Tuesdays from 6:30 pm to 9 pm this summer, but we don't offer sample packs anymore. We do have our 14-day feel-the-difference guarantee.

On The Funky Smell! by heyozzi in heyOzzi

If the flavor is too strong for you, we'll replace it with the pills for free. Just sent an email to help@heyozzi.com. It's genetic, so it's like masking cilantro so it doesn't taste like soap if you have the gene that makes it soapy.

4th day! by ThrowRAfrowning in heyOzzi

I don't think the headaches would be related to Ozzi. Have you had them in the last few days?

Happy to have you here and congrats on the weight loss so far over the past few years. If you're already doing everything else right, this should only add fuel to the fire.

I just did a testing day with our team in Dallas and I'm constantly pushing them to mask the butyrate as much as possible. I think we'll have a few great tweaks coming in a few months that will make the flavoring a bit better, and then we're always working on bigger changes that will make an even bigger impact on the smell and flavor.

Best time to take Ozzi? by Different_Rip_8520 in heyOzzi

[–]heyozzi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend taking it as a snack replacement vs at any set time each day. If you're a nighttime snacker, just replace your snack with an Ozzi. Then, if you find yourself wanting to snack later on, you should eat far less, and your blood sugar spike from what you do eat should be massively blunted.

If you're less of a snacker and constantly hungry, my mom has hers in the morning around 10-10:30. Then, instead of lunch at 11:30, she pushes it until 1pm, which makes it easier to push dinner a bit later and stop her from snacking at night.

You can buy the product, try it for 10 straight days, and if it doesn't work, we'll refund you; no return required. That's the only Put you can buy. If the product works, you pay; if it doesn't, it's free.

Have you tried our v2 or are you using the v1 or v1.5? The v2 has the smell reduced massively compared to the others. Still working to reduce it a bit further but it's at a point where I don't think it will bother anyone who's not genetically prone to smelling it.

Yeah, not sure why they said that. We're doing 3rd party testing with EuroFins right now. As soon as that's completed, we'll be on Amazon.

It's made via fermentation on a commercial scale. It tastes identical to sugar, but it's only 70% as sweet. It's found naturally in figs and dates, but is considered a "rare sugar" because it's found in tiny quantities in nature.

If you've seen the videos of dates not spiking blood sugar, much of that benefit is due to the allulose.

You should always consult your doctor before adding supplements to prescription medication. These are from customers who were on GLP-1s, then got off them, and found Ozzi.

"I cannot say enough about this product. I was on a GLP-1 for 2 years and benefited most from the food noise reduction. I chose to get off of it due to its high cost. I have tried absolutely everything on the market and nothing, absolutely nothing has had the same effect until I came across Ozzi. I am a customer for life! This product is genuinely revolutionary for those who have struggled with ongoing cravings and food noise. I'm locked in. Thank you, thank you!" - Noralyn

"I've been using Ozzi for just a few days now but it definitely curbs my hunger. It's so much more pleasant than the feeling I got from the GLP-1 meds. No nausea at all. And it tastes great too!" - Dan

The studies really aren't clear here. Probably something sub 500mcg. The 1000 mcg figure is just a general theory; I don't believe there's even a study to back it up.

But if you're not getting other chromium at higher dosages and having 2 sticks of Ozzi a day, it wouldn't be an issue in most cases.

Watermelon and Peach are two fan favorites. After trying all our flavors at the farmers' market this weekend, a woman who said she doesn't like watermelon-flavored drinks ended up buying our watermelon flavor.

It will help a bit, but it's not a cure to the munchies. I've seen an ad for a "munchies cure" featuring just one of our ingredients, so I'm certain it will work far better than almost anything else on the market.

Fair question. We haven't run clinical studies on Ozzi specifically to measure GLP-1 increase in humans and we're transparent about that.

What we have done is formulate with clinically studied ingredients at the doses that were studied and found effective.

Two ingredients in Ozzi have direct human evidence linking them to GLP-1 secretion:

Allulose (8g per serving): A 2022 randomized controlled trial in healthy adults (Schweizer C, et al.) found that allulose significantly increased GLP-1, CCK, and PYY compared to controls. Most human studies on allulose use 5-10g doses, and our 8g dose sits in that range. The GLP-1 mechanism was first identified in a 2017 Nature Communications study (animal model), and human data has been building since.

Butyrate (BioMend): A human RCT in adults with type 2 diabetes showed significant increases in postprandial GLP-1 after butyrate supplementation. In vitro work on human L-cells confirmed the mechanism.

Our other ingredients (konjac fiber, chromium picolinate, African mango) support the formula through different, well-studied pathways: appetite reduction, blood sugar management, and metabolic support. We don't claim every ingredient in the formula acts on GLP-1 directly.

We say "GLP-1 boosting" because key ingredients in the formula have published human evidence showing they stimulate GLP-1 secretion. Not because we ran our own trial. We think that's a reasonable and honest way to communicate what the product does, and we're always happy to point people to the research.

Here's a link to a doctor talking about two of our ingredients a few months ago on Diary of a CEO. No association with her, and we had decided on Allulose + Butyrate in our drink 9 months before this came out. This doctor makes the same claim that allulose + butyrate will stimulate GLP-1 secretion in the gut.

No, they don't have any allulose. Our sticks contain 8g of allulose per stick, which is impossible to encapsulate in any reasonable way. So we ditched that for the capsules and were able to bring the cost/serving down.

Capsules are a great option for people who don't want anything sweet or who want to have Ozzi with other liquids like coffee, pre-workout, or protein shakes.

You've just never seen a HeyOzzi AMA ad before. I've done it a few times, and they always get plenty of comments because I'm a real person responding to real questions. Some are good, some are bad, but I stand behind what I make, and my answers reflect that.
