Description
What is Orlos?
Orlos is a weight loss medication containing orlistat, designed for adults with a BMI of 28 or higher. It is most effective when combined with a healthy, low-calorie diet and regular exercise. It helps people lose weight more effectively than dieting alone by reducing fat absorption from food.
How does it work?
Orlos works by blocking an enzyme called lipase, which normally breaks down fat from food. By inhibiting this enzyme, orlistat prevents about 25-30% of dietary fat from being absorbed by your body. Instead, this unabsorbed fat passes through your digestive system and is excreted in your bowel movements, reducing calorie intake.
How effective is it?
Clinical studies show that Orlos can help you lose 50% more weight than through diet and exercise alone. For every 2kg lost through diet and exercise, it can help you lose an additional 1kg.
How should I take it?
Take one capsule with water, up to three times a day, within an hour of each main meal. Orlos works best when taken with meals that contain fat. It is important not to exceed three capsules a day. Since it can reduce the absorption of certain vitamins, it is recommended to take a daily multivitamin containing vitamins A, D, E, and K, at least two hours before or after taking Orlos.
Who can take it?
Orlos is suitable for adults with a BMI of 28 or higher and works best when combined with a calorie-controlled diet, with approximately 30% of calories from fat.
How quickly does it work?
Orlos starts working immediately by reducing the fat your body absorbs. The time it takes to notice results will depend on your diet and exercise habits.
