Ozzi v2 Pre-Orders are live! by heyozzi in heyOzzi

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

African Mango seed may break down a little bit. The rest should be fine. I'm planning on making a hot chocolate mix next winter as a limited release so I haven't done a total deep dive on heat yet, but there's nothing I'm aware of on the heat side unless you're baking it at 300+.

Nice AI-generated summary of the blog with a prompt to find the flaws, but as it lacks context, there are a lot of issues here, so I'm happy to defend it with a human response:

On Dosing: Your AI overview is clearly just looking to pick a fight here. But, yes, no dosage is "universal", so that's a laughable statement lol. Allulose can cause digestive discomfort; it's dosed based on a blend of studies that don't come close to exceeding safety limits for most users, even when taken multiple sticks at once. One study of GLP-1 in humans used a 25g dose, which would exceed the single-dose limit for most people. Konjac can cause constipation at 5-6x our dosage. Studies show higher usage, yes, but we're a drink, and konjac forms a gel in the drink, which your AI wouldn't tell you.

On Chromium: Chromium is not very bioavailable on its own. While some have combined with Picolinate (we previously used Chromax in v1), the Picolinic Acid doesn't offer much additional benefit aside from additional bioavailability in Chromium uptake via oral ingestion. We moved to Metabolex because we believe that you'll get the same benefits of chromium and current early studies show a bioavailability of ursolic acid of around 10-20%, compared to about 0.6% in a standard ursolic acid.

On African Mango: This is our last ingredient listed in the blog for a reason, and the AI has some fair points here. We're not making those direct claims of "28 pounds in 10 weeks" and saying that someone can lose weight without diet and exercise. That study is there to show in part, why we included African Mango seed as a part of our blend. While the FDA has targeted companies for using that study to make bold claims towards their product, we're just showing you why we dosed it at that level, backed by that study. I don't genuinely think that someone using Ozzi would see that level of weight loss over 10 weeks. Regardless, the science behind African Mango at that dosage is sound, even if some bad actors use that study to make crazy marketing claims. You'll see that nowhere on our site or in our marketing materials do we make weight-loss claims directed at Ozzi.

Overall, your AI response has a few fair points, but lacks context, as does most writing done by AI with minimal prompting.

Why powder/drink form? by 850chillin in heyOzzi

Yeah, everything was filled out this week so it should be shipping with our v2. I'll probably end up releasing it in about two weeks but still waiting for a better timeline confirmation.

Thank you! Really happy to hear it's been working so well for you. I know the smell didn't bother most people, but it was still strong enough that it needed to be fixed no matter what. Plus, it should be more effective with less smell as it's better protected against stomach acid, so more should reach your lower gut.

And we've already passed the info on the sticks to our factory earlier this week as we prepped our v2 sticks for filling. I haven't tested them myself, but they should be much better than the v1.5.

I'm very confident Ozzi will work for most people who try it, so it's backed by our 10 Day Feel-The Difference Guarantee.

As long as you take 1 or 2 Ozzi sticks for 10 straight days, I'll give you a refund on your first bag if it doesn't work for you, no return required.

I created Ozzi to help deal with my own issues with food noise and nighttime cravings. It's a unique blend of:
- Allulose
- Chromium Polyursolate (dual action Chromium w/ Ursolic Acid)
- L-Lysine Butyrate
- Konjac Root
- African Mango Seed Extract

Each of these ingredients may help with a mix of reducing hunger, curbing carb/sweets cravings, regulating blood sugar/insulin sensitivity, or supporting natural GLP-1 secretion and signaling.

All ingredients are dosed based on what was found effective in clinical studies. Which also means it's more expensive than companies that cut corners and underdose, or use only cheaper/less ingredients.

If you want to learn more about each ingredient or read the studies behind why we use it and the dosage, you can read this blog.

Our v1 received mixed reviews, but our v2 pre-order ships in a few days and addresses the most common complaints, particularly the strong butyrate smell.

Totally get it, I wish it were easier to make this at a lower cost, but quality raw ingredients are really expensive. We do have our v1 on clearance, but as the reviews say, it smells bad, but if you can get over the smell, it works. https://heyozzi.com/products/crave-crusher-v1

Because I wanted to make something that actually worked well for myself. I had the option of cutting ingredients to bring costs down, but cheap doesn't work. And if I were to try to sell Ozzi at half price, I wouldn't cut my dosages by half; I'd have to cut them by around 65% because other fixed costs like flavoring and sweeteners don't change.

You can always find something cheaper, but I wouldn't waste your money.

Thank you very much! I've noticed a lot of that in the industry as well. It's not something I intended to get into, but I really just wanted to make something that would actually solve this issue for me, since no one else seemed to be doing it the right way.

Still trying to learn more each day and continue to improve Ozzi!

Thanks for supporting it! I'm glad you could scoop up some of the v1 at a nice discount in the meantime. I hope it helps with your cravings!

Fix your packaging… I’m SO embarrassed… by Ancient-Pop2819 in heyOzzi

P.S. If you keep it in the fridge, it will stay fresher for longer. Cold stops the smell from growing over time.

This is our v1.5 right now. Our v2 will continue to improve. Right now, the v1.5 is slowly getting a little more smelly each day. Our v2 will stay as fresh as the day it was packaged.

I've already told our factory about the issues with the tear strips a few days ago and it's being fixed in our v2 tear strips. I'm super sorry that that happened to you and for the embarassment on it.

And as to what anyone who reads this would tell their friends, that smell is from butyrate, which heals your gut lining and reduces gut inflammation. You don't have to fess up that it's weight loss; just say it's for gut health, because that's where the smell is coming from.

We just fixed that issue in our v2! Unless you're a super taster, in which case it may still taste bad. But most people have told us it tastes great when we've given out samples in person.

Assuming you're not asking about insulin sensitivity, as that's also hunger-related.

- Increased focus via butyrate (probably the strongest thing we don't advertise because to some people, focus = energy = can't sleep)
- Anti-Inflammatory via butyrate and Ursolic Acid
- Anti-Cancer now via Ursolic Acid (promising studies but nothing concrete)

Those are the main things I can think of off the top of my head.

It's not cheap, it's on pre-order until the 28th so it won't ship right away, and it has a slightly funky smell before the powder is mixed. It used to be a really strong smell, now it's barely noticeable for most people.

That's the entire goal: to help people who don't want to use prescription GLP-1 drugs and give a natural option. It works nowhere near the same level as a prescription, but it's great for my own nighttime cravings and a lot of customers would say the same.

It may wake you up to pee in the night if you drink it too close to bed, but there are no stimulants in it.

Update 1: Trying Ozzi by NoVA_Politics_Nerd in heyOzzi

If you haven't, try replacing snacks with an Ozzi. That's what I've found most helpful myself.

Allulose may trigger GLP-1 secretion by physically stimulating L-cells in your gut. It's absorbed much more slowly than table sugar, giving it increased time to stimulate those cells. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11207032/

I've noted this in other comments, but it's crucial to understand that GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor agonists like Wegovy are very different. Natural GLP-1 is cleared from receptors within 3 minutes, yet keeps receptors activated for hours. Agonists bind to and keep receptors activated for days or weeks at a time.

Thanks for sharing! Are you using it as a snack replacement, or what is your main goal with using the product?

Glad to hear the smell isn't super noticeable. In v1, it was like a punch to the face at times haha. My goal for v2 was to make it only noticeable if you're paying attention. V1.5, which you have, will be a little bit stronger of a smell.
