I know that Alli is the non-prescription version of xenical, but have any studies been done on Alli to prove that it actually works or are all their claims based on the fact that the prescription version works. I'm only wondering because I would imagine that a less potent product compared to the prescription version is likely not as effective.

That's a really good question. I think there is an official website for the Alli, so I imagine they would have studies there. However, I'm now wondering if the studies are referring to what orlistat (the active ingredient) can do in it's prescription form, which would be very different. I've actually known a couple of people who took Alli and who weren't really impressed with the results. -
That really is a good question. Just by doing a quick search online I found studies for orlistat but i have no idea if they are studies using the orlistat dose in alli or the one they use in xenical, becuase that's really not the same thing.Comment

That's what concerned me, too. I mean it's great that orlistat has been studied but if it hasn't really been studied in the does that exists in Alli, there's not actual proof that it's all that beneficial. I mean, if it was truly effective, why wouldn't people just take the non-prescription version instead of the prescription Xenical, right?Originally posted by kellykatt View PostComment

Since they've already tested orlistat wouldn't it just work in Alli the same way but just not as strongly? So, I'm sure you feel the effects, but not like you would if you were really trying to lose weight because you were obese, no?Comment

I wouldn't worry about studies being done on Alli, because honeslty I don't think Alli works very well. It's really not as good as Orlistat. I think people just think it's good because it contains a prescription drug.Comment
