Why Orlistat's Proven Mechanism Drives Results
How Orlistat Blocks Fat: The Science That Works
When you take three orlistat capsules per day - one with each main meal - you're activating a clinically proven mechanism that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system, preventing them from breaking down dietary fat into absorbable components. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing your calorie intake from fat by roughly 30%.
Daily Dosing Schedule: Maximum Fat-Blocking Coverage
The three-times-daily dosing ensures continuous fat-blocking protection. Take one 120mg capsule immediately before, during, or up to one hour after each main meal containing fat. Our 84-capsule packs provide exactly 4 weeks of treatment at £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10), while our 168-capsule packs offer 8 weeks for £63.99 (£57.59 with EDM10). This consistent dosing schedule maximises the fat-blocking effect throughout your day.
Why This Mechanism Proves Orlistat Works
Unlike appetite suppressants that work on brain chemistry, orlistat's mechanism is direct and measurable. You can actually see evidence of the fat-blocking effect working - unabsorbed fat is eliminated from your body, confirming that approximately one third of your dietary fat intake is being blocked from absorption. This visible proof demonstrates why orlistat has remained a trusted prescription weight loss treatment.
Generic Orlistat vs Xenical: Same Mechanism, Better Value
Both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg use identical fat-blocking mechanisms - they contain the same active ingredient at the same dose. The difference is cost: generic orlistat saves you approximately £9 per month compared to Xenical. Our generic orlistat 252-capsule packs cost £95.99 (£86.39 with EDM10) for 12 weeks, while equivalent Xenical costs £128.99 (£116.09 with EDM10).
