Why Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Mechanism Works
The Science Behind Orlistat's Fat-Blocking Power
Orlistat's mechanism is elegantly simple and scientifically proven. When you take a 120mg capsule with meals, orlistat inhibits lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat for absorption—but orlistat blocks approximately one third of this process. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, reducing calorie intake from dietary sources.
Why This Mechanism Drives Real Results
Unlike appetite suppressants that work on brain chemistry, orlistat's fat-blocking action happens locally in your gut. This targeted approach means you're physically preventing calorie absorption from dietary fat. With Xenical 120mg at £42.99 (£38.69 with code EDM10) or generic orlistat at £32.99 (£29.69 with EDM10) for 4-week supply, you're investing in proven fat-blocking technology that works meal after meal.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat—Same Mechanism, Different Price
Both Xenical 120mg and generic orlistat contain identical active ingredients and deliver the same fat-blocking mechanism. Xenical, manufactured by Roche, offers brand recognition at £128.99 for 12 weeks (£116.09 with EDM10). Generic orlistat provides identical fat-blocking power at £95.99 for 12 weeks (£86.39 with EDM10)—saving you over £30. The mechanism is identical; the choice is yours.
How the Fat-Blocking Process Works
Take one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat. Orlistat immediately begins inhibiting lipase enzymes, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat from absorption. This undigested fat is eliminated naturally, reducing your calorie intake from fat sources. The process repeats with every dose—three times daily for continuous fat-blocking support alongside your reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Why Understanding the Mechanism Matters for Success
Knowing how orlistat blocks fat absorption helps you maximise results. Keep meals to approximately 15g fat each to optimise the mechanism whilst minimising gastrointestinal effects. The fat-blocking action works best with consistent dosing—our 168-capsule packs (8-week supply) at £63.99 for orlistat or £86.99 for Xenical ensure uninterrupted treatment. Add EDM10 for 10% off every order.
