The AIM-traded firm described Apollo Pharmacies as “the largest and most trusted” branded pharmacy network with 5,000 outlets across India.

It said GoFigure is its direct-to-consumer range of weight management products, combining various meal replacement, “healthy snacking” and powdered beverage products containing its weight management ingredient ‘SlimBiome’.

“We are very pleased that our GoFigure products are now available to the consumer in India through Apollo Pharmacies, a leading pharmacy chain in India,” said OptiBiotix Ltd chief executive officer René Kamminga.
