Buy Orlistat Online - Proven Fat Blocking Science
How Orlistat Blocks Fat Absorption
Orlistat works by targeting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so it can be absorbed into your bloodstream. When you take orlistat, it inhibits these lipases, meaning 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 fatty foods.
The Science Behind Orlistat's Effectiveness
Unlike stimulant weight loss medications that work on your brain, orlistat acts purely in your gut. It forms a covalent bond with lipase enzymes, essentially blocking them from functioning normally. This mechanism means orlistat only affects fat absorption - it doesn't impact how your body processes carbohydrates, proteins, or alcohol. The blocked fat is eliminated naturally, taking those calories with it.
Why Understanding the Mechanism Matters
Knowing how orlistat works helps explain why it's prescribed alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The more fat in your meals, the more unabsorbed fat passes through your system, which can cause gastrointestinal side effects. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to maximise effectiveness while minimising side effects. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with code EDM10), making it the most cost-effective option.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Mechanism, Different Price
Both generic orlistat and branded Xenical contain identical 120mg doses of the same active ingredient. They work through exactly the same fat-blocking mechanism. The key difference is price - generic orlistat saves approximately £9 monthly compared to Xenical. At EverydayMeds, Xenical 4-week supply costs £42.99 (£38.69 with EDM10) versus £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) for generic orlistat.
