Why Orlistat's Mechanism Makes It Worth Buying
How Orlistat Blocks Fat - The Science That Works
Orlistat works through a targeted mechanism that blocks approximately one third of dietary fat from being absorbed. When you eat fat, enzymes called lipases break it down for absorption. Orlistat inhibits these lipase enzymes in your gut, preventing fat breakdown. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your system. This proven mechanism means orlistat actively reduces calories from fat intake - not through brain chemistry or stimulants, but through direct gut action.
Comparing Orlistat Strengths - 120mg vs 60mg
The mechanism works identically across all orlistat products, but strength matters. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain the same active dose, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat effectively. Generic orlistat 120mg costs £29.69 for 4 weeks with EDM10 - £9 less than branded Xenical at £38.69. Alli 60mg uses the same mechanism at half strength, costing £26.09 for 4 weeks. Higher strength means more potent fat blocking, but all work through lipase inhibition.
Why the Gut-Based Mechanism Matters
Unlike appetite suppressants that affect your brain, orlistat works locally in your digestive system. It's not significantly absorbed into your bloodstream, focusing action where dietary fat is processed. This targeted approach means the mechanism directly addresses fat calories from meals. When you understand that orlistat blocks approximately one third of meal fat, you see why it supports weight management alongside a lower-fat diet. The mechanism proves it works - unabsorbed fat elimination is measurable.
