Orlifit acts locally within the lumen of the stomach and small intestine as a lipase inhibitor.
-
It chemically binds to gastric and pancreatic enzymes (lipases), preventing them from breaking down dietary fats (triglycerides) into absorbable fatty acids.
-
Because the undigested fats cannot be absorbed by your body, they are naturally excreted through bowel movements.
-
It effectively blocks about 30% of the fat consumed in a meal from being absorbed.
