Brampton mom loses 13 kg in 2 weeks with "next-gen fat-burning gummies" — WeightWatchers coaches and dietitians left stunned

52-year-old Sarah Thompson’s viral transformation has Breakfast Television viewers asking: “Why didn’t anyone tell us about this sooner?”

Sarah Thompson, 52, from Lower Hutt, Wellington — before and after discovering what she calls "the best-kept secret in New Zealand wellness."

“We’ve done what everyone said couldn’t be done.” That’s exactly how the announcement landed at a major wellness summit in Auckland, when a team of leading New Zealand nutritionists unveiled what experts are now calling “THE MOST DISRUPTIVE WEIGHT-LOSS BREAKTHROUGH IN NEW ZEALAND HISTORY.”

DIETITIANS GOBSMACKED. PERSONAL TRAINERS FUMING. WW COACHES IN DISBELIEF.

Shedding up to 13 kg in 2 weeks without flogging yourself at the gym, following punishing WW meal plans, or waiting 14 months for a Pharmac-funded weight-loss injection used to sound like a pipe dream.

Today, it’s actually happening — and the viral transformation of 52-year-old Sarah Thompson from the Wellington region has been all over Breakfast and Stuff.

After Sarah’s story went viral, several industry bodies called for an “urgent review,” questioning how one daily capsule could deliver results rivalling surgeries costing anywhere from NZ$9,000 to NZ$22,000.

Just 2 weeks — down 13 kg. No WW. No gym. No waiting for specialist referrals.

THE "HIDDEN-IN-PLAIN-SIGHT" WEIGHT-LOSS SECRET KIWIS WERE NEVER TOLD ABOUT

18 months of development at an Auckland research facility. 11 hand-picked super-ingredients — including clinically proven glucomannan, Verisol collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and zinc. A team of New Zealand nutrition scientists bound by strict NDAs.

The result? A world-first capsule formula that flicks on your body’s natural “metabolic switch,” triggering intense fat burning — even while you’re tucked up watching telly.

"THE PHOTO THAT BROKE ME… AND THE CAPSULES THAT GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK"

Sarah’s story has struck a chord with thousands of New Zealand women battling the same frustrations.

“At my daughter’s wedding at a beautiful barn venue in Hawke’s Bay, the photographer asked me to stand at the back so my weight wouldn’t ‘throw off the composition’. Two weeks after starting these capsules, I slipped into my old Country Road jeans I hadn’t worn since my thirties.”

— Sarah Thompson, Lower Hutt, Wellington

Six months ago, my confidence hit rock bottom. The photographer hesitated to position me next to my daughter, then actually said: “Would you mind standing behind? The extra weight won’t photograph well. ”

The entire bridal party fell dead silent. My daughter grabbed my hand and whispered, “Mum sits right next to me.”

He apologised, but the damage was done. I spent the rest of the reception ducking cameras and crying in the loo, missing the first dance.

I stopped looking in mirrors altogether. I hated what I saw — a bloated, knackered woman with a double chin and a mum-tum that wouldn’t shift. Years of grabbing a flat white and a muffin on the way to work, living on Woolworths ready meals because I was too shattered to cook, comfort eating my way through packets of Tim Tams in front of MAFS NZ — and then perimenopause hit like a freight train. The hot flushes, the brain fog, the weight creeping on no matter what I did. My GP just said “it’s your age” and suggested I “eat less, move more.” Every January I’d join WW again. Every March I’d give up.

I asked my GP about Ozempic, but the specialist waiting list was 14 months. Going private would cost NZ$450 a month — forever. Three plastic surgeons quoted me on lipo, a tummy tuck and a chin lift — around NZ$25,000 altogether, plus six weeks off work. With bills to pay and no sick days left, it felt impossible.

I was on the verge of taking out a loan when my daughter’s maid of honour rang. Her cousin works at a Remuera wellness clinic and whispered:

— I’ve got access to something they’re trialling with their celebrity clients. One capsule a day, that’s it. Not in Chemist Warehouse or Life Pharmacy yet. Just give it a go…

“I thought it was just another gimmick… then I woke up the next morning and barely recognised myself.”

“They’re calling it ‘liposuction in a box’,” my mate said. “Honestly, the before-and-afters are unreal.”

I was sceptical, to say the least.

After three decades of fad diets and empty promises, I was completely over it. But what did I have to lose?

That afternoon, I took my first dose of Osanix, followed the simple instructions, and got on with my day — completely unaware that everything was about to change.

The next morning, I shuffled into the bathroom, flicked on the light — and gasped so loudly I woke my daughter down the hall.

My silhouette looked different. The scales showed 1.1 kg down overnight! I figured it was just water weight. A week later, I was down nearly 6 kg.

The mum-tum I'd been hiding under baggy cardigans had visibly deflated.

My love handles were practically gone. The loose skin on my back and lower tummy had tightened up noticeably. I looked LEANER, my skin felt SMOOTHER — like I’d shed years, not just kilos.

I ran my hands along my waist — it was smaller, more defined. My daughter came running in from her old bedroom. She stopped dead. “Mum… WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?!”

For the first time in years, I actually smiled at my reflection.

By day 14, I zipped up a dress from Country Road I’d shoved in the back of the wardrobe a decade ago. The stubborn mum-tum that ruined every outfit had virtually vanished. My hips looked smoother, skin felt silky soft. The bingo wings and back fat had firmed right up — like I’d had proper work done.

The back rolls I’d been hiding under baggy The Warehouse cardigans for decades? Gone.

On day 14, I decided to put it to the test — I popped round to my sister’s in Lower Hutt. She knows every freckle on my face. She literally screamed.

“Rach, did you get lipo?! ” She dragged me in front of her hallway mirror. “You look like you did when we went to Fiji in 2005! Who’s your surgeon?”

When I told her I’d just been taking Osanix capsules at home, she flat-out didn’t believe me until I showed her the pack. The transformation was so dramatic that the Osanix team asked if they could publish my results.

Now when I’m out with my daughter for cocktails at Queensgate Shopping Centre, I actually get compliments. That same photographer who tried to hide me at the wedding? He did my new LinkedIn headshots and asked if I’d had “gastric sleeve or something”. I told him it was Osanix. He ordered three packs — for himself, his wife and his mum.

It’s about more than just looking slimmer — Osanix gave me my confidence back. I feel like the old me again, before the kids, before the stress, before everything piled on. I’m forever grateful.

THE SURGICAL-LEVEL SOLUTION MAKING NZ$18,000 LIPO LOOK OUTDATED

This breakthrough works in FOUR powerful ways — and traditional surgery simply can’t compete:

So you’ll likely notice:

  • ▶ Your appetite easing naturally — without exhausting willpower battles
  • ▶ Fewer sugar cravings and late-night snack attacks
  • ▶ More energy, a brighter mood, and more consistent days
  • ▶ Skin that looks dewier, nails that stop snapping, fewer sniffly days

“We didn’t want to create another ‘diet product’ or punishing herbal regime. We wanted to achieve the impossible: help people lose 10-16 kg without boot camps, crash diets or surgery — no health risks, no recovery time — while actually supporting skin, nail and immune health at the same time. We absolutely nailed that brief.”

— Dr William Taylor, New Zealand metabolism specialist and lead contributor to the Osanix formula

Why Kiwis say it "just fits into real life"

Since Osanix became available to the public, thousands of women have been sharing their before-and-afters right across New Zealand — from Auckland to Christchurch, from Wellington to Hamilton:

Emma, 49, Christchurch: "Down 3 kg in my first week. Perimenopause had me raiding the biscuit tin after Shortland Street every single night — that's completely stopped. Even my husband's noticed I'm not demolishing the Toffee Pops anymore!"
Charlotte, 43, Wellington: "My Weight Watchers points tracking completely fell apart over Easter — too many hot cross buns and chocolate eggs. But my morning Osanix capsules kept working. Down nearly 12 kg in a month!"
Olivia, 51, Auckland: "Back into my Cotton On jeans from 2008. My husband nearly fell off his chair when I came downstairs. Absolutely stoked!"
Margaret, 58, Hamilton: "My GP thought I'd had surgery. I'm 58, well past menopause, and I feel like I did in my 30s. Best $45 I've ever spent — cheaper than one Ozempic injection everyone's banging on about!"

The New Zealand reality: why weight loss is so hard here — and how Osanix helps

New Zealand has one of the highest obesity rates in the OECD — nearly two-thirds of adults are now classified as overweight or obese. And the consequences are serious: increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, joint problems, sleep apnoea, and even certain cancers.

  • ▶ Long commutes, shift work, office jobs — real Kiwi life makes it nearly impossible to stick to a routine
  • ▶ Sunday roasts, pub lunches, Friday takeaway — social eating is part of our culture, and the kilojoules stack up fast
  • ▶ Perimenopause, menopause, thyroid issues, and midlife hormonal shifts — after 40, your body clings to fat like never before, and the weight just won't budge
  • ▶ Knee pain, plantar fasciitis, sleep apnoea, chronic fatigue — when your body hurts, exercise feels impossible
  • ▶ Long days stuck at a desk and weekends in front of Netflix — sedentary routines trigger cravings and comfort eating
  • ▶ Cost-of-living crisis — when healthy food costs a fortune at Woolworths and New World, processed convenience food wins
  • ▶ The sandwich generation squeeze — juggling work, teenagers or grown-up kids, and ageing parents leaves zero energy for self-care
  • ▶ Menopause and midlife hormonal chaos — hot flushes, brain fog, disrupted sleep, and a metabolism that's gone on strike

Osanix fits seamlessly into the New Zealand lifestyle — just one easy capsule a day — so you can chip away at stubborn weight without overhauling your entire life.

Wellness clinics around the world have now documented its effectiveness.

By the end of 2026, countless women in their 40s, 50s and beyond are expected to ditch restrictive diets and expensive cosmetic procedures in favour of this simple formula.

IMAGINE THIS — BY TOMORROW MORNING

You catch your reflection in the mirror and see a silhouette you haven’t seen in decades :

  • ▶ Smoother sides and shrinking love handles
  • ▶ A flatter, less bloated tummy
  • ▶ A leaner, more defined face and jawline
  • ▶ Smaller measurements — with your natural curves still intact
  • ▶ The number on the scales finally trending down

Picture slipping into a fitted dress from Max or Witchery without Spanx — and actually looking better than when you were hiding under oversized cardigans and tunics.

Imagine saving thousands of dollars on meal-prep services, gym memberships, and cosmetic procedures — while achieving better results. No sweat-drenched gym sessions. No kilojoule-counting spirals. No stress.

Anyone from New Zealand actually tried this? I’m 48 and my doctor put me on an 18-month waiting list for the public weight management clinic. Asked about Ozempic but my private health insurance won’t cover it for weight loss and NZ$450/month is just not happening. Can’t wait that long — perimenopause is piling on the kilos. Need real experiences please!

Jessica M.

Noticed a difference within the first week, honestly – less bloating, more energy, and the brain fog from peri lifted a bit too. By week 4 I’d dropped over 7 kg. You’ll smash it at that wedding, hun! xx

9

Charlotte Thompson

Jessica, that’s amazing! How long before you noticed real results? I’ve got my niece’s wedding in Hawke’s Bay in 3 months and I’m desperate to drop at least 13 kg. Everything slowed right down once I hit my late 40s x

3

Jessica Tan

Charlotte, I’m from Manukau and I’m 51. Honestly this has been better than anything I tried before – WW, My Food Bag, the 5:2, even those meal replacement shakes from Chemist Warehouse. Finally something that actually works at our age! xx

15

Rachel Taylor

Mum of 3 from Christchurch here, just turned 44. Started the capsules while still grabbing my Macca’s breakfast wrap at lunch and lost over 7 kg! Don’t have to drag myself to CityFitness after work anymore. Between the kids’ netball practice, looking after my mum, and this miserable winter, it’s been an absolute lifesaver. Highly recommend to any wiped-out mums over 40! x

37

Margaret Edwards

Just ordered from Christchurch. I’m 53 and put on 18 kg during lockdown — WFH, too many Woolies frozen dinners, flat white runs, and a biscuit habit that got completely out of hand. Then menopause kicked in and the weight just won’t budge. My doctor just says “eat less, move more” — if only it were that simple! At 95 kg now and feeling terrible. Really hoping this helps where everything else has failed.

23

Sophie Williams

Interesting but how does it actually work? Sounds too good to be true tbh. I’m 46 and been burned by so many things advertised on Facebook before — apple cider vinegar, CBD oil, those keto capsules from Instagram. Bit sceptical…

10

Rachel Oliver

Sophie, I was the same — a complete sceptic at 49. But my sister-in-law in Hamilton recommended it and I figured, what the heck, what have I got to lose apart from the weight! It speeds up your metabolism, which is exactly what slows down in your 40s. Stops the 3 pm biscuit raids at my desk too. Got rid of the muffin top I’ve had since having the kids 20 years ago. Worth every dollar honestly x

38

Betty Harrison

Super easy to use – just take the capsules before breakfast and dinner. Only been a week but I feel less bloated than I have in years. The brain fog’s lifted a bit too which is a bonus at 52! Got the discount through the quiz – every dollar counts with the cost of everything these days!

23

Isabel Lawrence

Did the quiz and got a really good discount – thanks for that! I’m 46 and have been meaning to sort myself out for ages. Delivery was quick too, NZ Post got it here in 2 days. No messing around like Amazon these days!

24

Alice Newton

Same! Mine came the next day to Waikato. I’m 44 and thrilled with the discount — every little bit helps x

14

Marcus Stevens

Guy from Dunedin here, 47 – not just for the ladies! Packed on the weight working an office job in the CBD. Hit that age where the beer belly just wouldn’t shift no matter what. These capsules actually work. Feel sharper during my commute on the bus, more energy on weekends to keep up with the grandkids. Down nearly 13 kg. Pretty stoked!

52

Charlotte Wilson

Finally!!! Saw this mentioned in a New Zealand mums Facebook group ages ago but couldn’t find where to buy it. I’m 45 and since perimenopause started I’ve gone up 2 dress sizes. So glad I found this article – did the quiz, got my discount. Can’t wait to stop dreading trying on togs for our trip to Rarotonga! x

34

Michael Baker

Was 107 kg before starting – serious dad bod situation at 50. Office job in Auckland CBD, Uber Eats every night because I’m wiped from the commute. Tried the gym but my knees aren’t what they were. The wife watches Breakfast religiously and saw something about metabolism slowing after 40 — that’s me to a T. These capsules are different – no effort required, really. A few weeks in and I’m seeing the old me in the mirror. Even the wife’s noticed!

74

Margaret Johnson

Absolute game changer at 54! My doctor kept brushing me off, wouldn’t even discuss Ozempic for weight loss. Couldn’t afford the NZ$450 a month private cost for those weight-loss injections everyone’s going on about. This actually works and doesn’t cost a fortune. Down 13 kg in six weeks – can finally walk into Farmers and not dread the changing room mirrors xx

52

Wendy Stone

Have you all tried just eating less? Portion control? Sorry but I don’t get how capsules can do what a proper diet and exercise can’t. Sounds like those processed-food detox things the doctors on TVNZ’s Fair Go warned about…

9

Sylvia Moore

Wendy, with respect, that’s a bit ignorant. Some of us have thyroid issues, have gone through menopause, are dealing with HRT side effects. I’m 56, eat like a bird and still can’t shift it. Breakfast did a whole segment on how menopause changes your body completely. These capsules have helped where my doctor couldn’t x

37

Helena Crawford

Been using Osanix capsules for 2 years now! Started when I was 48 at my heaviest — menopause, empty nest, you name it. Lost 16 kg, now just use them to maintain. Half the ladies at my book club in Hamilton are on them now We’re all in our late 40s and 50s and they just work for our age group. Not exactly a secret anymore! BEFORE & AFTER xx

90

Nicole Bennett

Love that you get a discount for answering the questions. Nice change from companies just taking your money! Ordered mine to the Bay of Plenty — I’m 47 and my metabolism’s been shot since I hit 40. Fingers crossed this is the one that works x

25

Elizabeth Hughes

Desperately need help! I’m 50 and have been working from home for 2 years now, sitting at my kitchen table in Wellington living on Countdown biscuits and coffee. Put on nearly 13 kg since hitting menopause. Can’t do Weight Watchers – too embarrassing getting weighed in front of everyone at my age. Tried Couch to 5K but my joints are killing me. Are these actually going to work for someone like me?? x

46

Toni Davies

Reading all these comments from women our age all over New Zealand – Auckland, Canterbury, Otago, everywhere – gives me real hope. Been yo-yo dieting since my 20s (52 now!). Weight Watchers, My Food Bag, the cabbage soup diet, even those Herbalife shakes back in the day — tried it all over the years. Maybe this is finally the answer for us midlifers. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories xx

51

Sophie Holmes

Just had my NZ Post delivery! I’m 48 and the before and after photos on here from women my age are absolutely insane. If I can look half as good as some of you by summer I’ll be happy. Got my first holiday without the kids in years — Fiji here I come! Will update in a few weeks! x
