Understanding Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism
How Orlistat Blocks Fat Absorption
Orlistat works through a scientifically proven mechanism that blocks approximately one third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. Unlike appetite suppressants that affect your brain, orlistat acts locally in your digestive system by inhibiting lipase enzymes responsible for breaking down dietary fat. This unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing the calories absorbed from fat-rich meals.
Why the Mechanism Matters for Weight Loss
Understanding how orlistat works explains why it's so effective for weight management. When you eat a meal containing fat, orlistat prevents roughly one-third of that fat from contributing to your calorie intake. Combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet, this mechanism can support significant weight reduction over time. Our generic orlistat 120mg costs just £29.69 for a 4-week supply with EDM10, making this proven fat-blocking technology highly accessible.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Same Mechanism, Different Strengths
All three products work through the same fat-blocking mechanism. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients at the same dose, with generic orlistat offering substantial savings at £29.69 versus Xenical's £38.69 for 4 weeks. Alli 60mg uses half the dose, blocking a smaller proportion of dietary fat but often with milder side effects. Choose based on your preference and budget - the mechanism remains scientifically sound across all options.
