If you have considered using a diet pill at some stage over the last few months Alli Orlistat must have entered into the equation.

Alli is the most publicized, most discussed and most scrutinised weight loss product of 2009 and possibly of all time.

Alli is the only diet pill ever produced to contain a pharmaceutically produced and chemically formulated compound AND be available to buy over the counter or via the internet without the need of a doctor authorized prescription.

Alli is produced by pharamaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline – it was first made available to buy over the counter in the United States mid 2008 and released into the UK market in the Spring 2009.

Alli The Wonder Diet Pill

Alli is a lower strength version of  the pharmaceutical slimming drug Orlistat – more commonly recognized under the Xenical brand name.

Orlistat is potent drug that is only available to the obese or dangerously overweight – The lower strength (Alli) Orlistat is available to anyone with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 28 or above.

Initial media reaction to Alli was that is could be the cure for obesity and was hailed to be the Wonder Diet Pill

Several months on and the media soundbites are becoming less positive as startling new evidence is starting to surface that suggests that Alli may not be quite so wonderful as first thought.

Here are some snippets circulating that underline the problems and side effects that Alli can cause

• Anal Leakage – Alli has been known to cause a runny stool issue, coined the Alli Oops.  American dieters complained throughout 2008 that although the active ingredient was blocking a portion of their dietary fat – a rather embarrassing anal leakage problem prevented users from going about everyday life.
• Not Tested Thoroughly – Although has been FDA improved it has not undergone rigorous testing using human beings – reports have started to be documented that Ali could cause many health issues ranging from the minor irritatant to the more serious – including potentially liver damage.
• Alli Could Face Ban – There are calls from certain quarters to make Alli more difficult to purchase. Currently there are loose restriction that apply – purchases made in store at the likes of Boots and Superdrug involve a BMI test, whereby the in store pharamacist can refuse to sell to anyone that is not is need of a diet drug. Internet purchases are far less stringent, over the last few months it has been highlighted that people with eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia can aquire Alli using fraudulent details.

Is Alli Worth Considering

Negatives aside, Alli is a strong diet drug that does work – Alli can prevent over a quarter of fat from the food you consume from being digested and appearing in places you dont want them to.

But – it is the negatives, especially the embarrassing anal leakage issue and the more serious long term health implications that does cloud the appeal of Alli somewhat.

Marketing certainly has played its part – GlaxoSmithKline has a huge marketing budget at its disposal and is not shy to spend it. Television, magazine and internet advertising has ensured that Alli make a fortune for all concerned.

Proactol Compared To Alli

Proactol uses the same fat stopping methodology to Alli, albeit fat binding instead of fat blocking. Proactol is less likely to cause the runny stool issue as the undigested fat is bound and passes through the system in a less liquified manner.

Proactol is produced from natural substances (the Optunia ficus-indica cactus) and has had several years of clinical study attached to it.

Proactol also is classed as a Medical Device Product (MDD 93/42/EEC) and has the CE Mark of Approval

Alli Or Proactol – The Conclusion

Both Alli and Proactol employ what is generally regarded as the most effective methodology for reducing fat content, and decreasing the number of calories introduced into your body on a daily basis.

Proactol is completely natural, side effect free and has a long and established history of useage – Alli is far from natural has a relatively short history and can cause some pretty horrendous side effects.
