How O Trim 120mg Capsule works
O Trim Capsule contains Orlistat, which works by blocking the function of an enzyme called lipase in your gut. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down dietary fat so it can be absorbed by the body. By inhibiting lipase, Orlistat prevents the digestion and absorption of about 30% of the fat consumed, allowing it to pass out of the body in the stool. This helps reduce calorie intake and supports gradual weight loss.
