What's In Ozzi: Every Ingredient, Every Dose
Ozzi Crave Crusher is built on 6 clinically studied ingredients that support GLP-1 production, appetite control, blood sugar balance, and fat metabolism. No proprietary blends. No hidden doses. Here is the whole label, plus the human research behind each one.
The short answer: Each Ozzi stick pack contains 8g allSWEET allulose, 500mg BIOMEnd L-lysine butyrate, 500mg konjac root glucomannan, 300mcg Metabolex chromium, 10mg ursolic acid (delivered in the same Metabolex molecule as the chromium), and 150mg African mango extract. There is no caffeine, no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and no berberine.
Ozzi's ingredients work on appetite through four separate routes at once: gut satiety hormones (allulose and butyrate signaling to intestinal L-cells), physical fullness (konjac fiber expanding in the stomach), blood sugar steadiness (chromium supporting insulin sensitivity), and fat metabolism (ursolic acid activating AMPK). Appetite is not a single switch, so the formula does not treat it like one.
The Full Formula, Per Stick Pack
Every active in Ozzi Crave Crusher and what each one is doing. Doses are per stick, and we round them down so the number on the page is never larger than the number in the pack.
| Ingredient | Dose | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| allSWEET Allulose | 8g | Rare sugar that tastes like sugar with about 90% fewer calories. Activates gut sweet taste receptors that trigger satiety hormone release, without raising blood sugar. |
| BIOMEnd L-Lysine Butyrate | 500mg | Patented postbiotic butyrate bound to L-lysine. Fuels the cells lining the colon, supports gut barrier integrity, and stimulates the L-cells that secrete GLP-1 and PYY. |
| Konjac Root (Glucomannan) | 500mg | Soluble fiber that absorbs up to 50 times its weight in water, creating physical fullness and slowing how fast carbohydrates hit your bloodstream. |
| Metabolex Chromium | 300mcg | Essential trace mineral bound to ursolic acid. Supports insulin sensitivity so glucose gets used instead of stored, which supports steadier energy and fewer carb cravings. |
| Ursolic Acid | 10mg | Delivered inside the same Metabolex molecule as the chromium. Activates AMPK, the cellular energy sensor tied to fat metabolism and lean muscle support. |
| African Mango Extract | 150mg | Irvingia gabonensis seed extract, studied for supporting healthy body weight, waist circumference, and leptin signaling. |
| Other ingredients | — | Citric acid, natural flavor, L-tartaric acid, Reb M (OnoSweet stevia leaf sweetener), pink Himalayan sea salt, trisodium citrate, silica. |
Chromium and ursolic acid are listed separately because people search for them separately, but they arrive in one molecule: Metabolex chromium polyursolate, 11mg total per serving.
Mother Nature's Best Crave Crushing Ingredients
6 clinically studied ingredients, at the doses found effective. Tap any card to jump to the full breakdown.
Allulose
8g
Sweetener that supports natural GLP-1
Postbiotic butyrate for gut health and GLP-1
Soluble fiber that helps you feel full
Mineral that supports healthy blood sugar
Supports lean muscle and metabolism
Supports leptin, your fullness signal
How These 6 Ingredients Work Together
Appetite isn't controlled by one pathway. It runs across a network of overlapping signals: hormones like GLP-1, PYY, CCK, and leptin, plus blood sugar, gut bacteria, stretch receptors, and nerve signals running from the gut to the brain.
Ozzi was built to support that whole network instead of betting everything on one mechanism. Each ingredient has a job, and none of them is trying to carry the load alone.
Pathway 1Gut satiety hormones
Allulose activates the sweet taste receptors in your gut, which tells your intestines to release GLP-1, CCK, and PYY. BIOMEnd butyrate stimulates those same L-cells directly. Konjac fiber gets fermented by gut bacteria, hitting the pathway a third way.
Pathway 2Physical fullness
Konjac glucomannan absorbs up to 50 times its weight in water and turns into a gel in your stomach. That gel presses on stretch receptors and slows gastric emptying, so food stays with you longer.
Pathway 3Blood sugar steadiness
Chromium supports insulin sensitivity at the cellular level. Allulose sweetens without raising blood glucose. Konjac slows carbohydrate absorption. A blood sugar crash is one of the most common craving triggers, and three ingredients work to blunt it.
Pathway 4Fat metabolism and lean mass
Ursolic acid activates AMPK, the cellular energy sensor tied to burning fat for fuel and protecting skeletal muscle. African mango supports leptin signaling, the hormone that tells your brain you have enough stored energy.
allSWEET Allulose
8g per servingWhat it is
Allulose (also called D-allulose or D-psicose) is a rare sugar that occurs naturally in figs, raisins, maple syrup, and wheat. It tastes almost identical to table sugar but carries about 90% fewer calories, and it doesn't raise blood sugar or insulin the way sucrose does.
We use allSWEET, a high-purity allulose sourced from non-GMO corn. It's the largest ingredient in the stick by weight, and it's the reason Ozzi tastes like a drink instead of a supplement.
How it works
Allulose activates the T1R2/T1R3 sweet taste receptors in your gut without being absorbed and metabolized like sugar. That activation on its own is enough to tell your intestines to release GLP-1, CCK, and PYY, the three biggest satiety hormones your body makes.
What the research shows
1. Allulose stimulated GLP-1 release in humans.Human RCTA 2022 randomized controlled trial in the Journal of Nutrition showed that oral allulose activated the gut sweet taste receptor and stimulated GLP-1 secretion in humans, with downstream effects on satiation hormone release. This is the cleanest human receipt on the allulose-to-GLP-1 link.Teysseire et al., 2022, J Nutr — reference 1
2. Meta-analysis found allulose lowers post-meal blood glucose.Human meta-analysisA 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis in PLOS One pooled human trials on allulose and found a significant reduction in postprandial blood glucose in healthy adults, without the insulin spike you'd see from regular sugar.Braunstein et al., 2023, PLOS One — reference 2
3. The glucose effect held up in a second meta-analysis.Human meta-analysisA 2024 meta-analysis of clinical trials looked specifically at allulose and blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes and reported a favorable effect on glycemic response.Kishida et al., 2024, Metabol Open — reference 3
Allulose has been studied in dozens of human trials covering glycemic response, insulin sensitivity, and safety at doses up to 25g per serving. The three above are the tightest receipts on the GLP-1 and blood sugar side.
Why 8g
The satiety and glucose effects of allulose start showing up around 5g and scale from there. 8g is a practical daily dose that fits in a stick pack, tastes clean, and sits inside the range used in the published literature. Enough to do the work without turning the drink into candy.
BIOMEnd L-Lysine Butyrate
500mg per servingWhat it is
Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid your gut bacteria produce when they ferment fiber. It's the primary fuel for the cells lining your colon and one of the most studied molecules in gut health.
The catch is that straight butyrate is unstable, smells like rancid butter, and doesn't survive the trip through your digestive tract well. BIOMEnd is a patented postbiotic form bound to the amino acid L-lysine. That's why you can drink Ozzi without the butyrate smell people warn you about.
How it works
Butyrate feeds the cells of your gut lining, which supports healthy gut barrier function. It also signals through the FFAR2 and FFAR3 receptors on intestinal L-cells, the same cells that secrete GLP-1 and PYY.
Worth being precise here: the L-cell mechanism is mapped in mouse and cell studies, and human confirmation is still pending. We say butyrate supports natural GLP-1 production. We don't say it raises GLP-1 in humans, because the honest read of the human data doesn't support that yet.
What the research shows
1. Butyrate triggers GLP-1 release from L-cells.Cell and mouseA 2013 paper in the Journal of Biological Chemistry demonstrated butyrate-induced GLP-1 secretion from L-cells, with downstream effects on insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. This is the foundational mechanism paper behind butyrate's role in the GLP-1 pathway, and it is preclinical.Yadav et al., 2013, J Biol Chem — reference 4
2. Short-chain fatty acids raised PYY and fat oxidation.Human RCT, colonic infusionIn a randomized crossover trial, colonic infusion of short-chain fatty acid mixtures high in butyrate significantly increased fasting and postprandial PYY and acutely raised fat oxidation in men with overweight or obesity. Note the delivery route: this was infused directly into the colon, not swallowed.Canfora et al., 2017, Sci Rep — reference 5
3. L-lysine butyrate absorbs fast and clean in humans.Human crossover pilotA 2025 randomized crossover trial in 10 healthy men compared three dose-matched butyrate products. L-lysine butyrate reached peak serum butyrate at 20 minutes, roughly 5 times higher than tributyrin's peak, and was rated the most palatable form in organoleptic testing. It performed comparably to sodium butyrate on absorption while carrying no sodium. All three were well tolerated with zero adverse events.La Monica et al., 2025, J Exerc Nutr — reference 6
That 2025 trial is a 10-person, single-dose, absorption-only pilot. It tells you the form gets into blood. It does not tell you what happens to weight or appetite over months, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.
Why 500mg
500mg of BIOMEnd delivers a meaningful dose of bioavailable butyrate without overwhelming the stick pack or wrecking the taste. Most butyrate research uses mineral salts that are hard to formulate into something drinkable. L-lysine butyrate solves that, which is what makes daily use realistic.
Konjac Root (Glucomannan)
500mg per servingWhat it is
Konjac glucomannan is a soluble fiber pulled from the root of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), a staple in Japanese cooking for centuries. It's what shirataki noodles are made of. It has one unusual property: it absorbs up to 50 times its weight in water.
How it works
When you drink konjac with water, it expands into a gel in your stomach. That gel creates physical fullness, slows how quickly your stomach empties, and moderates the rate carbohydrates hit your bloodstream. Gut bacteria also ferment it, which feeds into the same satiety hormone pathway butyrate uses.
What the research shows
1. Glucomannan supported GLP-1 and PYY release and delayed gastric emptying.PreclinicalA 2024 paper in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry showed konjac glucomannan supplementation enhanced release of the satiety hormones GLP-1 and PYY while slowing gastric emptying.Chen et al., 2024, J Agric Food Chem — reference 7
2. Gelled konjac cut energy intake in a dose-dependent way.Human RCTA randomized crossover trial in the British Journal of Nutrition gave 16 healthy adults volume-matched preloads that swapped pasta for konjac glucomannan gel noodles. Replacing more of the carbohydrate with konjac gel lowered energy intake in a dose-response pattern. Worth naming the gap: this used konjac as a food in gel form, not a 500mg powdered dose.Au-Yeung et al., 2018, Br J Nutr — reference 8
3. The systematic review evidence on weight is mixed, and we'd rather say so.Human systematic reviewA 2015 systematic review in Nutrition pooled 6 randomized controlled trials of glucomannan in otherwise healthy adults and children with overweight. Three adult trials showed significant weight reduction at specific timepoints, but the authors described the overall supporting data as scarce, and they later published a correction and reanalysis. Anyone telling you glucomannan is settled science for weight loss is overselling it. The satiety and gastric-emptying evidence is the stronger half.Zalewski et al., 2015, Nutrition — reference 9
Glucomannan is one of the few fibers with an FDA-recognized structure/function role in appetite support, and it's been studied for over 30 years.
Why 500mg
Clinical studies on konjac run from 500mg to 3g, typically taken before meals with water. 500mg is the practical end for a beverage, and it pairs with the 8 to 16oz of water you mix Ozzi into. Higher doses cause digestive discomfort for people who aren't used to fiber, and a daily drink has to be gentle enough to actually take daily.
One safety note that matters: glucomannan expands with water, so always take Ozzi mixed into a full glass of liquid. Never take it dry or with a small sip.
Metabolex Chromium
300mcg per servingWhat it is
Chromium is an essential trace mineral with a central role in how your body handles insulin and glucose. It's been studied for decades for blood sugar support, carb cravings, and insulin sensitivity.
We deliver it as Metabolex, a patented form that binds chromium to ursolic acid (chromium polyursolate). The manufacturer reports this bond improves bioavailability compared to standard chromium picolinate, and it carries 10mg of ursolic acid along for the ride in the same molecule.
How it works
Chromium supports insulin receptor sensitivity, meaning your cells respond more efficiently when insulin shows up with glucose. That matters for cravings because a blood sugar crash after a meal is one of the most reliable snacking triggers there is. Steadier blood sugar, quieter "feed me now" signal.
What the research shows
1. Chromium picolinate supported insulin sensitivity and blunted weight gain.Human RCTA 2006 randomized controlled trial in Diabetes Care followed adults on sulfonylurea therapy, a medication known to promote weight gain. The chromium group gained significantly less weight and improved insulin sensitivity versus placebo.Martin et al., 2006, Diabetes Care — reference 10
2. Chromium reduced carbohydrate cravings over 8 weeks.Human RCT, clinical populationA double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial tested 600mcg chromium picolinate against placebo in 113 adults with atypical depression, a group defined partly by carbohydrate craving. The chromium group showed significant reductions in carbohydrate cravings and appetite. Among people who started with the highest carb cravings, 65% responded to chromium versus 33% on placebo. The population is a real caveat and we're naming it rather than quietly calling them "113 adults."Docherty et al., 2005, J Psychiatr Pract — reference 11
Why 300mcg
300mcg sits inside the published research range, which typically tests 200mcg to 1000mcg. It's well above the adequate intake for adults (25 to 35mcg) and inside the window used in human studies on insulin sensitivity and carb cravings.
Ursolic Acid
10mg per serving, inside MetabolexWhat it is
Ursolic acid is a plant compound found in the waxy skin of apples, plus basil and rosemary. It's in Ozzi because it works through a different pathway than everything else in the formula.
It arrives bound to chromium as Metabolex chromium polyursolate. Every serving delivers 300mcg of chromium and 10mg of ursolic acid from that one molecule, and ursolic acid is the larger share of it by weight.
How it works
Ursolic acid activates AMPK, the cellular energy sensor that shifts your body toward burning fat for fuel rather than storing it. It's also been studied for supporting skeletal muscle and brown adipose tissue, the metabolically active fat that burns calories to produce heat.
What the research shows
1. Ursolic acid improved body composition markers in metabolic syndrome.Human RCT, clinical populationA 2017 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in the Journal of Medicinal Food tested 150mg of ursolic acid daily for 12 weeks in adults with metabolic syndrome, reporting reductions in body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and fasting glucose alongside improved insulin sensitivity. Two caveats worth stating: the dose is far above the 10mg in Ozzi, and the participants were a diagnosed clinical population.Ramírez-Rodríguez et al., 2017, J Med Food — reference 12
2. Ursolic acid increased muscle and brown fat.MouseA 2012 study in PLOS One showed ursolic acid supplementation increased skeletal muscle and brown adipose tissue while decreasing diet-induced obesity and glucose intolerance. This is the foundational body-composition paper, and it's rodent work.Kunkel et al., 2012, PLoS One — reference 13
3. Ursolic acid raised energy expenditure through AMPK.Preclinical mechanismA 2015 study in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry showed ursolic acid increases energy expenditure by enhancing free fatty acid uptake and beta-oxidation through the UCP3/AMPK pathway in skeletal muscle. This is the mechanism behind the body composition findings.Kim et al., 2015, Mol Nutr Food Res — reference 14
Being straight about the evidence tier here: most of the ursolic acid body-composition work is rodent, and the one strong human trial used 15 times the dose in a stick of Ozzi. It's a supporting player that comes free with a chromium form we wanted anyway, not the reason the formula works.
Why 10mg
10mg is what Metabolex delivers alongside 300mcg of chromium. We picked the chromium form first and got the ursolic acid as part of the package, in a bound, bioavailable form, without adding a separate raw ingredient to the stick.
African Mango Extract
150mg per servingWhat it is
African mango is the seed of a fruit native to West Africa, used in Cameroonian cooking for generations. The seed extract, Irvingia gabonensis, became a research target in the 2000s when clinical trials reported effects on body weight, waist circumference, and lipid markers.
How it works
The interesting mechanism for appetite is leptin. Leptin is the hormone your fat cells release to tell your brain you've had enough food. In people carrying extra weight, leptin signaling often gets blunted, which is part of why the brain keeps asking for food even when the body has stored plenty of energy. African mango appears to support leptin sensitivity, so the satiety signal gets through.
What the research shows
1. African mango improved weight, waist, leptin, and adiponectin over 10 weeks.Human RCTA randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Lipids in Health and Disease tested IGOB131 (150mg twice daily before meals) in 102 adults with overweight. The treatment group showed significant reductions in body weight, waist circumference, and body fat, with a drop in leptin and a rise in adiponectin.Ngondi et al., 2009, Lipids Health Dis — reference 15
2. A systematic review pooled the trials.Human systematic reviewA 2013 systematic review in the Journal of Dietary Supplements reviewed the randomized controlled trials on Irvingia gabonensis and concluded the clinical evidence supports a role in reducing body weight and waist circumference. The authors also flagged that the trials are small and largely from one research group, which is a fair criticism and worth knowing.Onakpoya et al., 2013, J Diet Suppl — reference 16
Why 150mg
Published Irvingia gabonensis research runs in the 150mg to 300mg range, once or twice daily. 150mg per serving sits right at the starting dose used in those trials and works as one piece of a broader formula rather than a standalone bet.
Everything Else In The Stick
Six actives, and then the handful of things that make a powder taste good and pour properly. We don't count any of these as actives and we don't build claims on them.
Reb M (OnoSweet), pink Himalayan sea salt, citric and tartaric acid, trisodium citrate, silica
Reb M is a stevia leaf sweetener that rounds out the allulose. The salt and acids handle flavor and pH. Silica is an anti-caking agent that keeps the powder flowing. Nothing here is a stimulant and nothing here is artificial.
What's Not In Ozzi
We built Ozzi to be taken every single day, which meant leaving a lot of things out.
- Caffeine
- Added sugar
- Artificial sweeteners (no sucralose, aspartame, or ace-K)
- Synthetic stimulants
- Berberine
- Artificial colors or dyes
- Preservatives
- Proprietary blends
- Vegan
- Gluten free
- Non-GMO
- 5 calories per stick
Sourcing and manufacturing
Ozzi is made in the USA in a cGMP-certified facility. Every active ingredient is third-party tested for purity, potency, and contaminants (heavy metals, microbials, pesticides) before it goes into production. All ingredients are tested and qualified on arrival, and every lot is safety tested for bacteria and heavy metals.
We use branded, patented ingredient forms (allSWEET, BIOMEnd, Metabolex) because they come with their own documentation on sourcing, stability, and quality. That's how we know what's in every stick pack down to the milligram. You can see the third-party testing results here.
Who Is Ozzi For?
Ozzi is for adults whose problem is appetite, not willpower. The people it helps most are dealing with cravings that show up on a schedule, food noise that won't shut off, or a metabolism that stopped cooperating somewhere in their 40s or 50s.
These groups come straight out of 956 post-purchase survey responses and our customer reviews. If you see yourself in one of them, that's why.
People whose cravings hit at night
This is the single biggest group, about 45% of survey responses. The pattern is always the same: clean all day, then something flips after dinner. Ozzi's konjac fiber and allulose are there to make 9pm feel like 3pm, so the day doesn't come apart at the end of it.
"My sugar cravings are 100% gone and I do not blow the whole day up at 9pm anymore."People dealing with food noise
Food noise is the mental loop: thinking about food constantly, feeling hungry an hour after eating, wanting to eat when you know you aren't hungry. It's a hormone conversation, not a character flaw. The GLP-1 and PYY pathway is the part of that conversation Ozzi is built to support.
"I struggle with overeating and the capsules really help reduce that consistent food noise and help me stop when I'm full."People who want GLP-1 support without a prescription
A large group wants what GLP-1 medications do to appetite without the injection, the cost, or the side effect profile. Ozzi is a dietary supplement, not a drug, and it works on the same hormone pathway from a different direction: supporting the GLP-1 your body already makes rather than mimicking it.
It is not equivalent to a prescription medication and we won't tell you it is.
People coming off a GLP-1 medication
One of the fastest-growing groups. Appetite tends to come back hard when the medication stops, and people who lost significant weight are looking for something to hold the line. Ozzi is caffeine-free and made for daily long-term use, which is why it fits this window.
"Was on a GLP-1 med for a year. Lost 30 lbs. Immediately after stopping my appetite doubled and I'm finding it very hard to not overeat."Women in perimenopause and menopause
Perimenopause changes appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity, and where your body stores fat, often before anything shows on the scale. Sugar cravings intensify, evenings get harder, and the routine that worked at 35 stops working at 47.
Three ingredients speak to that directly: chromium supports insulin sensitivity, allulose satisfies sweet cravings without a glucose spike, and ursolic acid supports lean muscle, which matters more every year as estrogen declines.
"I'd like to try to stop menopause weight gain and lose 20lbs."Anyone trying to lose weight after 50
After 50, two things work against you: you lose lean muscle (which lowers your resting burn) and insulin sensitivity tends to slip. Eating less alone tends to cost you more muscle, which makes the next round harder.
Ozzi's angle is to make appetite control easier while supporting the things that keep metabolism running: ursolic acid for lean mass and AMPK, chromium for insulin sensitivity, fiber for fullness. It's caffeine-free, which matters if stimulants wreck your sleep or your blood pressure is something you watch.
The last 15 to 20 pounds
People who are active, eat reasonably well, and cannot shift the final stretch. In this group the gap is almost never the workout, it's the 400 to 600 evening calories nobody logs. Close the evening and the deficit takes care of itself.
"My late night cravings are out of control and I've tried just about everything. I'm active but can't shred the remaining 15 lbs."Sugar cravings and a serious sweet tooth
For people whose specific villain is sugar, allulose is the whole point. It tastes like sugar, satisfies the sweet craving, and doesn't raise blood glucose the way sucrose does. Several customers describe reaching for a stick instead of dessert and having it work.
"It's flavorful and sweet, curbs the craving for sugar and I have a problematic sweet tooth. I now find myself reaching for a packet of Ozzi instead of a calorie laden sweet snack."People who quit drinking and picked up sugar
A real and underdiscussed pattern. You cut alcohol, and within weeks the sugar intake doubles because the brain is chasing the same reward. It shows up constantly in Dry January and sober-curious customers. A sweet, 5-calorie drink in the evening gives that habit somewhere to go.
Shift workers and people on late schedules
Nurses, firefighters, 24-hour shifts, evening jobs. When your schedule fights your circadian rhythm, appetite regulation goes with it and the snacking follows. Ozzi has no caffeine, so taking it at 10pm doesn't cost you the sleep you're already short on.
"I want to stop unnecessary snacking and late night eating. Working 24 hour shifts, it's hard to not develop poor snacking habits."People keeping an eye on blood sugar
Three ingredients touch glucose from different angles: allulose (sweetness with no glucose spike), chromium (insulin sensitivity), and konjac (slows carb absorption). Ozzi supports blood sugar control. It does not treat, prevent, or manage any diagnosed condition, and if you're on medication for one, talk to your doctor before adding it.
People who want it clean: vegan, caffeine-free, stimulant-free
Ozzi is vegan, gluten free, non-GMO, and has zero caffeine or synthetic stimulants. That covers people who react badly to stimulants, people who've already had their coffee, anyone taking it at night, and vegans who keep hitting formulas with gelatin capsules.
People who fast or eat in a window
At 5 calories a stick, Ozzi is a practical way to get through the tail end of a fasting window, which is where most people break. Strictly speaking, any calories technically break a fast, so if you're fasting for autophagy research protocols rather than for eating-window purposes, take it inside your window.
"I used to be great at intermittent fasting but in recent years it just would be so tough in the evening not to eat."People who have tried everything
In our survey data, "tried everything" specifically means Weight Watchers, calorie counting, staying active, and often GLP-1 medications. These customers are skeptical and they should be. It's why the doses are printed on this page, why the research is cited with species labels, and why the 14-Day Ozzi Challenge exists.
"I was skeptical of another powder, but gave it a shot. I don't understand it, but it does exactly what it claims to do."Who Ozzi is not for
- Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. The ingredients haven't been studied in pregnancy. Skip it.
- Anyone under 18. Ozzi is formulated for adults.
- People wanting an energy drink. There's no caffeine and no stimulants. If you want a lift, this is the wrong product.
- Anyone looking for a replacement for prescribed medication. Ozzi is a dietary supplement. Don't stop anything your doctor prescribed to take it.
- People who won't take it daily. This is the honest one. The ingredients work on hormone and blood sugar signaling that needs consistency. Most customers report the difference landing in week 2, not day 2.
- Anyone with a known allergy to any listed ingredient, or on medication that a doctor should sign off on first, especially blood sugar medication.
How To Take Ozzi
Mix 1 stick pack into 8 to 16oz of cold water and drink it. That's the whole protocol.
Timing: take it about 30 minutes before the meal or the window where cravings hit hardest. For most customers that's late afternoon or right after dinner, because that's when the trouble starts. Morning works well if your problem is grazing all day.
Water matters: the konjac fiber needs liquid to expand into a gel. Always mix it into a full glass. Never take the powder dry.
Give it two weeks: some people notice appetite changes in the first few days, but the most common report in our reviews is that it fully kicks in around week 2. That's the reasoning behind the 14-day guarantee window.
The 14-Day Ozzi Challenge: Take it for 14 straight days. If your cravings and food noise aren't quieter, we'll refund your first bag.
Ingredient FAQ
The questions we actually get, answered without the marketing hedge.
The formula
What are the ingredients in Ozzi?
Each Ozzi Crave Crusher stick contains 8g allSWEET allulose, 500mg BIOMEnd L-lysine butyrate, 500mg konjac root glucomannan, 300mcg Metabolex chromium, 10mg ursolic acid (in the same Metabolex molecule as the chromium), and 150mg African mango extract. The rest of the stick is flavor and formulation: citric acid, natural flavor, L-tartaric acid, Reb M stevia sweetener, pink Himalayan sea salt, trisodium citrate, and silica.
Does Ozzi use a proprietary blend?
No. Every active dose is printed on the label and on this page. Proprietary blends let brands hide how little of an expensive ingredient they used. If a supplement won't tell you the doses, that's usually the reason.
How many calories are in Ozzi?
5 calories per stick pack. Allulose is the largest ingredient by weight but the body doesn't metabolize it for energy the way it does sugar.
Is there caffeine in Ozzi?
No. Zero caffeine and zero synthetic stimulants. That's deliberate, because the biggest craving window for most customers is between dinner and bed, and nobody needs a stimulant at 9pm.
What is allulose and is it safe?
Allulose is a rare sugar that occurs naturally in figs, raisins, maple syrup, and wheat. It tastes like sugar with about 90% fewer calories. It's not an artificial sweetener and it's not a sugar alcohol. The FDA has recognized it as generally recognized as safe and exempted it from the added sugars line on nutrition labels. It's been studied in human trials at doses up to 25g. Ozzi uses 8g.
Does allulose raise blood sugar?
No. Human meta-analyses of allulose trials report reductions in post-meal blood glucose rather than increases, because allulose isn't metabolized through the same route as sucrose. That's the core reason it's the sweetener in Ozzi.
What is butyrate and why is it in a drink?
Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid your gut bacteria make when they ferment fiber. It's the primary fuel for the cells lining your colon and it signals to the intestinal L-cells that secrete GLP-1 and PYY. Most butyrate supplements are capsules because raw butyrate smells like rancid butter. Ozzi uses BIOMEnd, a form bound to L-lysine that was rated the most palatable butyrate form in published organoleptic testing, which is what makes a drinkable version possible.
Does Ozzi smell bad? I've heard butyrate does.
It doesn't. Butyric acid is the compound behind the smell of rancid butter, so every butyrate product has to manage odor somehow. Binding it to L-lysine handles that, and it was rated the most palatable of three forms in the 2025 human trial.
Why does Ozzi have both chromium and ursolic acid?
They arrive as one molecule. Metabolex is chromium polyursolate, chromium bound to ursolic acid, 11mg total per serving. That works out to 300mcg of chromium plus 10mg of ursolic acid. We chose the chromium form first and the ursolic acid comes with it in a bound, bioavailable form.
Why isn't there berberine in Ozzi?
Berberine has real research behind it, but it has a meaningful interaction profile with common medications and it's rough on some people's digestion. Ozzi is built to be taken every day for months, so we went with a blood sugar approach (chromium, allulose, konjac fiber) that holds up to daily long-term use.
Safety and side effects
Does Ozzi have side effects?
The most common one is mild digestive adjustment in the first week, which is what tends to happen when you add 1g of fiber per day to a diet that didn't have it. Some customers report the opposite and say it helps with regularity. A small number report cramping and stop taking it. Start with one stick a day, always mix it into a full glass of water, and talk to your doctor before starting any supplement.
Can I take Ozzi with medication?
Ask your doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you take blood sugar medication, thyroid medication, or anything with narrow timing requirements. Soluble fiber like konjac can slow the absorption of oral medications taken at the same time, so a common recommendation is to separate them by a couple of hours. This is general information, not medical advice.
Can I take Ozzi while I'm on a GLP-1 medication?
That's a conversation for your prescriber, not for us. Plenty of customers do, particularly people tapering off, but appetite suppression stacks and your doctor is the one who should sign off on that.
Is Ozzi safe if I'm diabetic?
Talk to your doctor before adding it. Ozzi supports blood sugar control but it does not treat, manage, or prevent diabetes, and it's not a substitute for anything you've been prescribed. Chromium and blood sugar medication both act on glucose handling, which is exactly why your doctor should know you're taking it.
Can I take Ozzi if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. These ingredients haven't been studied in pregnancy or lactation. Skip it until you're through.
Is the konjac fiber a choking risk?
Glucomannan expands with water, so it should never be taken dry or with a small sip. Mix Ozzi into a full 8 to 16oz glass of water and drink it. Taken that way it's expanding in a glass, not in your throat.
Is Ozzi third-party tested?
Yes. It's made in the USA in a cGMP-certified facility. Every ingredient is tested and qualified on arrival, and every lot is tested for bacteria and heavy metals. You can see the results on our third-party testing page.
Diet compatibility
Is Ozzi vegan?
Yes. No animal-derived ingredients, and the drink sticks have no gelatin capsule to worry about.
Is Ozzi gluten free?
Yes, gluten free and non-GMO.
Is Ozzi keto friendly?
It fits most keto approaches. At 5 calories with allulose as the sweetener, it doesn't raise blood glucose or insulin the way sugar does, and allulose is generally excluded from net carb counts. The fiber content is not digestible carbohydrate either.
Does Ozzi break a fast?
Technically any calories break a fast, and Ozzi has 5. Practically, most people fasting for an eating window take it during the hardest stretch and are fine. If you're following a strict protocol for reasons beyond appetite control, take it inside your eating window.
Does Ozzi contain artificial sweeteners?
No sucralose, aspartame, or acesulfame potassium. Sweetness comes from allulose (a rare sugar) and Reb M (a stevia leaf sweetener).
Who it's for and what to expect
Who is Ozzi for?
Adults dealing with appetite problems rather than motivation problems: nighttime and after-dinner cravings, food noise, sugar cravings, weight that stopped moving in your 40s or 50s, perimenopause and menopause appetite changes, coming off a GLP-1 medication, or wanting GLP-1 support without a prescription. It's caffeine-free, vegan, and built for daily use, which also makes it a fit for shift workers and anyone who reacts badly to stimulants.
Can Ozzi help with weight loss after 50?
It's built for the two things that make it harder after 50: lean muscle loss and slipping insulin sensitivity. Ursolic acid supports lean mass and AMPK signaling, chromium supports insulin sensitivity, and the fiber plus allulose handle appetite so a calorie deficit doesn't take constant effort. It's caffeine-free, which matters more in this age group. Ozzi supports weight management as part of a reasonable diet. It isn't a weight loss drug.
Does Ozzi help with perimenopause and menopause cravings?
It's one of the most common reasons customers give for buying. Perimenopause shifts appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity, and fat storage, and sugar cravings and evening snacking usually intensify with it. Three ingredients speak to that: allulose satisfies sweet cravings without a glucose spike, chromium supports insulin sensitivity, and ursolic acid supports lean muscle, which declines faster as estrogen drops. It does not contain hormones and it doesn't treat menopause.
Is Ozzi a natural alternative to GLP-1 medications?
Ozzi is a dietary supplement that supports the GLP-1 your body already produces. Prescription GLP-1 medications are drugs that mimic the hormone at pharmacological levels. Those are different things and we won't blur them. What Ozzi offers is support for the same pathway, no prescription, no injection, and a formula designed for daily long-term use.
Can Ozzi help after stopping a GLP-1 medication?
It's one of our fastest-growing customer groups. Appetite typically returns hard when the medication stops. Ozzi supports natural GLP-1 production and gut satiety signaling, has no caffeine, and is made for long-term daily use, which is the shape of what people need in that window. Coordinate any taper with your prescriber.
Does Ozzi stop nighttime snacking?
That's the problem it was designed around, and it's what about 45% of our survey respondents came for. The konjac fiber creates physical fullness, the allulose satisfies the sweet craving that usually drives the 9pm run, and the butyrate and chromium work on the hormone and blood sugar side. Most customers take it in the late afternoon or right after dinner.
How long does Ozzi take to work?
Some people notice a difference in the first few days. The most common report in our reviews is that it fully lands around week 2, which is why the guarantee runs 14 days. Consistency is the variable that matters most: the ingredients act on hormone and blood sugar signaling that needs daily input.
When should I take Ozzi?
About 30 minutes before your hardest craving window. For most people that's late afternoon or just after dinner. If your problem is grazing all day rather than one evening spike, mornings work better. Some customers take one in the morning and one in the evening.
Can I take two servings a day?
Plenty of customers do, usually one in the morning and one in the evening. Start with one a day for the first week so your digestion adjusts to the fiber, then add the second if you want it.
What's the difference between Ozzi drink sticks and the capsules?
They share four actives: konjac glucomannan, BIOMEnd butyrate, African mango, and Metabolex chromium. The sticks add 8g of allulose, which is what gives them the sweet taste and the sweet-craving angle. The capsules skip the allulose, so pick the sticks if sugar cravings are your issue and the capsules if you want something you can take at your desk without mixing a drink.
