How Orlistat Differs from Appetite Suppressants
Orlistat vs Appetite Suppressants: Key Differences
Many people ask "is orlistat an appetite suppressant?" The answer is no - orlistat works through a completely different mechanism. While appetite suppressants act on brain receptors to reduce hunger, orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. This makes it a lipase inhibitor, not an appetite suppressant. Save 10% on every order with code EDM10 - applicable to all customers, every time you order.
How Orlistat Actually Works
Orlistat inhibits lipase enzymes in your gut that break down dietary fat. When these enzymes are blocked, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect brain chemistry, orlistat acts locally in your digestive system and isn't significantly absorbed into your bloodstream.
