Why Choose Orlistat for Weight Management?
How Orlistat Works in Your Body
Orlistat works by blocking lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so it can be absorbed into your bloodstream. When orlistat inhibits these enzymes, approximately one third of the fat you eat cannot be digested or absorbed. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body and is excreted. The mechanism is straightforward: less fat absorbed means fewer calories from fat contributing to weight gain.
Why the Mechanism Matters for Your Success
Understanding how orlistat works proves why it's effective for weight management. Unlike appetite suppressants that work in the brain, orlistat acts locally in your gut. It doesn't affect your metabolism or heart rate - it simply reduces the amount of dietary fat calories your body can absorb. This targeted mechanism means orlistat can support weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Same Mechanism, Different Strengths
All three products work through the same fat-blocking mechanism. Generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose - the key difference is cost. Our 4-week supply of generic orlistat costs £29.69 (with EDM10), while Xenical costs £38.69. Alli 60mg provides half the dose for those preferring a lower-strength option at £26.09 per 4-week supply. All require the same low-fat diet approach to minimise side effects and maximise results.
