Why Orlistat's Mechanism Makes It Worth Buying
The Science Behind Orlistat: Proven Fat Blocking
Orlistat works through a simple but effective mechanism that blocks approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. Unlike appetite suppressants that act on the brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing the calories absorbed from fatty foods.
Why This Mechanism Proves Orlistat Works
The lipase inhibition mechanism has been extensively studied and proven effective. When you take orlistat 120mg with meals containing fat, it prevents these enzymes from doing their job properly. This isn't a "effective support" - it's proven pharmaceutical science that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption consistently. Generic orlistat 120mg (£29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10) and branded Xenical 120mg (£38.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10) use identical mechanisms.
What Happens When Fat Isn't Absorbed
When orlistat blocks fat absorption, those calories can't contribute to weight gain. A gram of fat contains 9 calories, so blocking one third of dietary fat significantly reduces calorie intake when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The blocked fat exits your body naturally, which is why maintaining lower-fat meals helps minimise gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising weight management benefits.
Comparing Your Options: Same Mechanism, Different Prices
Whether you choose generic orlistat 120mg or branded Xenical 120mg, the fat-blocking mechanism is identical. Both block approximately one third of dietary fat through lipase inhibition. Generic orlistat offers excellent value at £57.59 for 8 weeks (with EDM10) versus Xenical at £78.29. Alli 60mg (£49.49 for 8 weeks with EDM10) uses the same mechanism at half strength for those preferring lower-dose treatment.
