Why Orlistat's Mechanism Proves It's Working For You
How Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Works
Orlistat works through a scientifically proven mechanism that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed in your digestive system. The medication inhibits lipase enzymes in your gut that normally break down fat, meaning unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body. This targeted action happens locally in your digestive system, not in your brain like appetite suppressants, making it a unique approach to weight management.
Physical Signs That Orlistat Is Working
You'll know orlistat is working because the unabsorbed fat has to go somewhere - it passes through your digestive system naturally. This may cause oily stools, particularly if you eat high-fat meals. While these gastrointestinal effects can be managed by keeping meals low in fat (around 15g per meal), they're actually proof that approximately one third of your dietary fat isn't being absorbed. Generic orlistat 120mg provides this same mechanism from just £29.69 for a 4-week supply with code EDM10.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli: Same Mechanism, Different Strengths
All three products work through identical fat-blocking mechanisms. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active ingredient at the same dose - the key difference is cost. Generic orlistat offers the same clinical effect as branded Xenical but saves you approximately £9 per month. Our 8-week orlistat supply costs £57.59 with EDM10 compared to £78.29 for Xenical. Alli 60mg uses the same mechanism at half the strength, making it a gentler starting option at £49.49 for 8 weeks with discount code EDM10.
Clinical Evidence Behind The Mechanism
Orlistat's lipase inhibition mechanism is clinically proven and MHRA-regulated. By blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, it helps create the calorie deficit needed for weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The medication works best when fat intake is distributed evenly across three main meals, with no more than 30% of daily calories from fat. This approach maximises the fat-blocking effect while minimising side effects.
