Why Orlistat's Mechanism Makes It Worth Buying
How Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Works
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system that break down dietary fat. When you take one 120mg capsule with a fat-containing meal, it blocks approximately one third of that meal's fat from being absorbed into your bloodstream. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing your calorie intake without affecting carbohydrates or protein absorption.
The maximum daily dose of 3 capsules (360mg total) is scientifically designed to provide optimal fat-blocking across your three main meals. Taking more than this maximum dose doesn't increase effectiveness but may increase side effects.
Why the Dosing Schedule Proves It Works
Orlistat 120mg costs £29.69 for 4 weeks (84 capsules) with EDM10, calculated as 21 capsules per week. This precise dosing reflects the medication's targeted mechanism - one capsule blocks fat from one meal for approximately 24 hours. Generic orlistat delivers identical fat-blocking to branded Xenical 120mg (£38.69 for 4 weeks) but saves you £9 monthly.
Clinical Evidence Behind Maximum Daily Dosing
The maximum daily dose of orlistat has been established through extensive clinical trials showing approximately one third fat absorption reduction. This mechanism works locally in your gut without entering your bloodstream significantly, making it different from appetite suppressants that affect your brain. Alli 60mg (£26.09 for 4 weeks) provides half the dose for those preferring lower-strength treatment.
