Description

Orliford is a medical product for the treatment of obesity which provides a specific pharmacological action. Most drugs for the obesity treatment act to the CNS and inhibit hunger. Orliford does not influence on the functions of the central nervous system and does not lower hunger. The mechanism of the action of Orliford consists in the specific inhibition of the gastro-intestinal lipases which take part in the dissolution and uptake of the fats from the GIT.

Fats coming with food are gradually absorbed in the stomach, and then in the intestine. Then, they are spread through the tissues, and the enzymes send them to the different parts. Orliford blocks enzyme which is responsible for the uptake of the fats in the stomach and intestine. As a result, all consumed fats are released unchanged. The body having lack of calories begins to spend supplies accumulated earlier, and the fatty tissue is burned to fulfil the energy.

It is medical proved that such approach to the treatment of the obesity is one of the safest because it affects only natural mechanisms happening in the gastro-intestinal tract and does not inhibit the functions of the central nervous system.
