Alli

What is it?

Composition

The composition of the Alli product includes an active ingredient that affects your metabolic processes. The main component is Orlistat, but the composition also includes excipients. These ingredients play an important role in ensuring the effectiveness and safety of the drug.

• Orlistat is the main active component that helps block fat enzymes.
• Microcrystalline cellulose - used as a filler to stabilize the shape of the tablets.
• Gelatin is a component of the capsule that is safe for most people.
• Talc - used to give the tablets a sliding texture.
• Magnesium stearate is an additive that improves the consistency and mixing of the tablets.

These components together ensure the stability and effectiveness of the drug throughout the entire period of use.

How to use?

The use of Alli requires following the instructions and, without fail, consulting with your doctor. Each patient is recommended an individual approach, taking into account their condition and medical history. It is very important to ensure that all recommendations are followed correctly to achieve maximum results.

1. Take Alli three times a day during or within an hour after each main meal containing fat.
2. For best results, the drug should be combined with a low-fat, low-calorie diet.
3. Wash the capsules with a full glass of water.
4. Avoid skipping meals to avoid disrupting the protective effect of the drug.
5. If you miss a pill, take it as soon as possible, but do not use more than one dose at a time.

If you have any questions or need to change the dose, be sure to consult your doctor or pharmacist.

How does it work?

The mechanism of action of Alli is to inhibit the action of lipase, an enzyme involved in digestive processes. This drug is specially designed to suppress the absorption of about 25% of fats from food. The main task is to block the enzymatic process in the intestine, reducing the amount of calories coming from fats, and thereby promoting weight loss.

This fat blocking works even with a moderate level of consumption of fatty foods, prevents their processing in the body, and removes excess along with feces. This helps to lose weight faster and more safely without debilitating dietary restrictions. It is important to be extremely attentive to your diet, since additional fat consumption can cause unpleasant side effects.

The innovative approach of the drug allows you to effectively reduce weight, helping to manage metabolism more effectively and safely. All this makes Alli an indispensable companion for people striving for healthy and long-term weight loss.
