OIKOS® Launches OIKOS FUSION™

In a groundbreaking step for the yogurt industry, OIKOS® has unveiled OIKOS FUSION™, a revolutionary cultured dairy drink specially formulated to assist those on weight loss journeys, particularly users of GLP-1 medications. This product is notable for its unique combination of nutrients including whey protein, leucine, and vitamin D, setting a new standard in convenience and nutritional effectiveness.

The OIKOS FUSION™ drink has been created to meet the specific needs of individuals who are striving to maintain muscle mass while reducing overall weight. As statistics show, around 27% of Americans are currently aiming for weight loss, and nearly 10% are utilizing GLP-1 medications, which can often lead to muscle loss due to reduced protein intake. Research indicates that approximately 20% of weight loss in such cases comes from muscle mass. Addressing this challenge, OIKOS® is introducing a lactose-free, 0g added sugar, nutrient-rich drink that supports both muscle retention and digestive health.

Advanced Nutrition Designed for Weight Loss

At the heart of OIKOS FUSION™ is the patented Advanced FUSION Blend™, which includes 23g of complete protein and 5g of prebiotic fiber in each bottle. These elements work synergistically not only to deliver essential nutrients but also to enhance digestive wellness. Additionally, the drink is formulated with vital vitamins such as B3, B12, and D, making it among the most comprehensive options available in the yogurt market. It's important to note that this offering does not contain any artificial sweeteners or synthetic colors, appealing to health-conscious consumers.

Available in three delicious flavors: Strawberry, Mixed Berry, and Vanilla, each 7 fl oz bottle is carefully crafted to ensure that it offers a satisfying taste while packing in beneficial nutrition. Rafael Acevedo, President of Yogurt at Danone North America, highlighted how the combination of decades of nutritional science and OIKOS' commitment to quality allowed for the creation of this innovative product.

The Importance of Tailored Nutrition

According to Dr. Whitney Evans, Director of Nutrition Scientific Affairs at Danone North America, the formulation of OIKOS FUSION™ is a direct response to the needs of those trying to manage their diets while also ensuring proper nutrition. She explains that during weight loss, it’s vital to focus on nutrient density within meals; if not met, the body begins breaking down muscle to acquire needed amino acids. Therefore, OIKOS FUSION™ aims to meet these nutritional challenges head-on by delivering a compact, nutrient-dense solution.

As consumers become more health-conscious, products like OIKOS FUSION™ are increasingly sought after. This full-packaged nutritional drink caters especially to the growing population of individuals managing their weight regarding GLP-1 use, thus positioning OIKOS® as a leader in innovative health solutions.

Launch and Accessibility

Beginning this August, OIKOS FUSION™ will be rolling out in Walmart's refrigerated section, with broader availability in additional retailers by October. This launch is supported by a comprehensive online nutrition hub offering expert advice geared specifically towards GLP-1 users, reaffirming the brand's commitment to ongoing consumer education and support.
