Why Orlistat's Mechanism Proves It Works
How Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Works
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so your body can absorb it. When orlistat blocks approximately one third of these enzymes, that proportion of fat passes through your body unabsorbed. This isn't speculation - it's a clinically-proven mechanism that directly reduces calorie absorption from dietary fat.
Why You Shouldn't Take 2 Orlistat Capsules at Once
Taking 2 orlistat capsules at once doesn't double the fat-blocking effect. The standard dose of one 120mg capsule per meal already blocks approximately one third of dietary fat optimally. Taking more increases side effects without improving results. Our UK prescribers recommend the proven dosing schedule: one capsule with each main meal containing fat, maximum three daily.
Clinical Proof: Fat Absorption Studies
Research demonstrates orlistat's mechanism blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption consistently. This translates to meaningful calorie reduction when combined with a lower-fat diet. At EverydayMeds, you can start with orlistat 120mg from £15.20 for 2 weeks (normally £16.89), or choose branded Xenical from £19.35 for 2 weeks with code EDM10.
