How Obifit 120mg Capsule works

Obifit 120mg Capsule works by blocking the enzyme lipase in your digestive system. Lipase breaks down fats from the food you eat. By inhibiting this enzyme, Obifit prevents the absorption of around 25-30% of dietary fat, which is then excreted from the body. This reduces calorie intake and aids in weight loss without affecting the central nervous system.
