OptiBiotix Health (OPTI), the former Ducat Ventures, has announced it is contracting Netherlands-based Nizo Food Research BV to undertake pre-clinical claims support for three cholesterol-lowering ‘Lactobacillus’ strains that OptiBiotix has developed.
The company added it has contracted Nizo to assess each strain's manufacturability, gastrointestinal robustness and activity against bile salts, to determine the best strain(s) to enter human studies, whilst this should also reduce the cost, timescale, and development risk for future products. With more than 60 years’ experience, Nizo has the largest food-grade pilot plant in Europe and the work is expected to be completed by the end of this year, to facilitate the commencement of human studies early next year.
The announcement saw shares in OptiBiotix up to 9.25p-10p, but they have now slipped back to a current 8.25p-9p, capitalising the company at just under £7 million.

This is not a share tip as we would like to be free to buy and sell this stock as and when we want but I can disclose that RMPC has pumped a five figure sum into Ducat Ventures (DUC) shares in which resumed trading today as it announced what looks an interesting RTO.
This is the latest play by company rescuer Adam Reynolds. The name will change to Optibiotix Health and there will be a 200 for 1 share consolidation. At the placing price of 0.04p the market cap is £5.7 million and net cash is £3 million with the free float (former shareholders of Ceres Media) – I guess c £200,000 at the placing price.
The shares are now 0.04-0.05p

Following the mammoth success of UK Investor Show 2014 we are moving into overdrive for the 2015 show on April 18 and one new feature will be a series of 14 one hour masterclasses with an audience limited to 80 – we are taking on an additional floor in Westminster.
In these rooms Amanda Van Dyke will be doing a session on how to value mining stocks. Brian Basham will be doing a session on making money from Crowd Funding. And new for this year, Adam Reynolds, the Company Rescuer, will be doing a masterclass on how to make money from shell companies.
Adam is the brains behind two companies currently suspended pending RTOs. Real Man is invested in both Ducat Ventures (DUC) and Vialogy (VIY) and I am an insider on both so all I can say is that I am incredibly excited and they will pay for Christmas - see HERE
We profiled Adam here.

Last week shares in tiny investment company Ducat Ventures (DUC) were suspended after jumping 56% in just a couple of hours. Heck this is AIM so surely nothing could be a bit iffy here…
Er…The company responded with a suspension and then fessed up:
The Company notes the recent rise in its share price. The Company confirms that it is in discussions in relation to a possible transaction which, if completed, would constitute a reverse transaction pursuant to the AIM Rules. Consequently, the Company has requested that its shares are temporarily suspended, pending a further announcement.
Knock me down with a feather.
