Alli is a unique product and it is a category of its own. Alli is a non-prescription diet pill, but at the same time it has been granted approval by the FDA.
The FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) is the American counterpart of the UK MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority).
Both organizations try to ensure that public health is protected, and that all medicines and similar health products, which people buy to improve their health and well-being, are acceptably safe and beneficial.
Drugs, slimming products and food supplements usually belong to the following two categories. The first comprises the drugs, whose ingredients are pharmaceutically manufactured chemical substances.
Alli Origins
Alli is a non-prescription slimming pill, which has a lower-strength composition than Orlistat, a prescription diet product with the common trade name Xenical
Orlistat is a powerful drug, widely used against severe obesity cases, which prevents the absorption of fats reducing this way the daily intake of calories.
Alli has exactly the same properties as Orlistat but it contains a lesser quantity of its active ingredients, so it is allowed to be marketed as an over-the-counter drug. Alli is produced by GlaxoSmithKline and is now available in the UK market.
GlaxoSmithKline promotes Alli in the best possible way, and with every bottle of pills consumers buy, they offer a diet and exercise programme which, they claim, will enhance Alli results.
This programme is not something unique or extraordinary, and even if you don’t get it along with Alli, you can find a great number of similar healthy diet and exercise regimes absolutely free on the Internet.
How Alli Works
As we mentioned above, Alli works by preventing the fats we consume from being absorbed by the digestive system. These blocked fats remain undigested, go through the stomach, and then leave the body through bowel movements.
Alli Side Effects
Alli does not have serious side effects but the number one problem you will have when taking it, is the increased and sometimes uncontrolled number of bowel movements as the undigested fat leaves your body. Also:
- Oily, orange coloured stools
- Oily spots in your underwear
- Gas with oily discharge
- Loss of appetite, nausea and weakness
How Effective Is Alli?
FDA approved and clinically tested, Alli is certainly effective. It will help your body lose some of its excess fat and make you feel lighter and healthier.
Recommended or Not?
Apart from its really unpleasant and sometimes embarrassing side effects, Alli could be an acceptable solution to losing a few extra pounds.
The longer you are able to stand the inconvenience of the above mentioned side effects, the more fat you will be able to lose.

FucoTHIN is a new product in the UK, with a rather strange-sounding name!
FucoTHIN’s composition is based on Fucoxanthin, which is a substance extracted from cultivated brown seaweeds combined with cold-pressed pomegranate seed oil. These two substances form a non-stimulant thermogenic product with fat burning properties.
Chitosan is the generic term of diet products that are based on a simple substance extracted from the shells of shellfish such as lobster, shrimp or crabs.
