Ozzi, a new wellness brand based in the US, has introduced its first product: a natural drink designed to provide an alternative to GLP-1 medications, formulated to support evening appetite control and reduce stress-related snacking.

The plant-based formula contains 500mg of konjac root, 8g of allulose, African mango extract, Chromax chromium picolinate, and l-lysine butyrate ingredient BioMend. It is available in a stick format, enabling consumers to simply dissolve the powder mixture into water.

These ingredients are blended into a functional beverage designed for consumption around 8pm. The product is caffeine-free, making it suitable for night-time use without disrupting sleep.

Three flavours are available as part of the product line: watermelon, lychee and grape. The allulose has been included to boost GLP-1 production and helps to sweeten the beverage without sugar, while mango extract is thought to support metabolism and curb appetite.

Chromax also supports metabolism while aiding blood sugar balance and protecting muscle tissue, and BioMend can support GLP-1 release and enhance fullness signals. Konjac root also promotes fullness – the natural fibre expands in the stomach and can absorb up to 50 times its weight in water.

Founder Brandon Kuipers said the idea originated from his own personal experiences with evening stress eating: “I wanted something that would help me pause before reaching for snacks at night, something I could rely on without going the pharmaceutical route”.

After experimenting with natural ingredients and receiving feedback from early testers, the formula was finalised and moved into small-batch production. According to Ozzi, customer testing played a key role in validating the product’s appeal.

The company hopes to address the unmet needs of busy professionals who experience cravings tied to long working days and high stress levels. The drink aims to promote habit-building by targeting appetite control after hours, without the need for stimulants or prescription medication.

It is now available via Ozzi’s website to US consumers, with all purchases including guidance for use as part of a broader evening routine.
