Description

Orlistat 120mg weight loss capsules are designed to aid weight loss in adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or above, or 28 and above with associated risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.

How It Works:

These enzymes break down fats for absorption, but when Orlistat is present, about 30% of dietary fat is prevented from being absorbed and is instead passed through the body. This reduction in fat absorption reduces calorie intake, helping support weight loss goals when used alongside a balanced diet.

Directions for Use:

• Standard Dosage: Take one 120mg capsule with water immediately before, during, or up to an hour after each main meal containing fat.
• Missed Meals: If a meal is skipped or contains no fat, you can skip that dose.
• Consistency: Orlistat is most effective when taken regularly as directed with each fatty meal.

Ingredients:
