Understanding Orlistat's Mechanism - Why It Works
How Orlistat Blocks Fat Absorption
Orlistat 120mg works through a targeted mechanism that inhibits lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so it can be absorbed into your bloodstream. When orlistat blocks these enzymes, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing the calories you absorb from meals.
Why This Mechanism Proves Orlistat Works
The fat-blocking action of orlistat is immediate and measurable. Unlike treatments that rely on willpower alone, orlistat's mechanism works regardless of your mental state. Each 120mg capsule provides the same lipase-inhibiting effect, ensuring consistent fat blocking with every meal. At EverydayMeds, you can access this proven mechanism from £29.69 for a 4-week supply (£32.99 minus 10% with EDM10).
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Same Mechanism, Different Doses
All three products work through the same fat-blocking mechanism. Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients and block the same amount of fat. Alli 60mg provides half the dose, blocking a smaller proportion of dietary fat. Our 4-week supplies cost: orlistat £29.69, Xenical £38.69, or Alli £26.09 (all prices include EDM10 discount).
Maximising Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Effect
To optimise orlistat's mechanism, take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat. The medication works best when meals contain no more than 15g fat each - this maximises fat blocking while minimising side effects. Higher fat meals mean more unabsorbed fat passing through your system, which can cause gastrointestinal effects that prove the mechanism is working.
