What is the oil discharged by the oil discharge pill

The oil expelled by the oil expelling pill is mainly unabsorbed dietary fat. Paiyou Wan reduces the breakdown and absorption of fat in the intestine by inhibiting lipase activity. Undigested fat is excreted in its original form with feces, usually manifested as oily stools or fat diarrhea. The mechanism of action of Paiyou Wan mainly includes inhibiting lipase activity, reducing fat absorption, and increasing fecal fat content.

1. Inhibition of lipase activity: The core component of

oil expelling pills, orlistat, is a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor that can bind to gastric lipase and pancreatic lipase, causing them to lose their ability to break down fat. After lipase inhibition, triglycerides in food cannot be broken down into absorbable free fatty acids and monoglycerides, resulting in approximately 30% of dietary fat not being absorbed by the intestine.

2. Reduce fat absorption: Under normal circumstances, the human body can absorb over 95% of dietary fat. After taking the oil expelling pill, undigested fat cannot enter the lymphatic system through the intestinal wall and directly enters the colon. These fats include animal fats, vegetable oils, and fats attached to fat soluble vitamins in food, but they do not break down stored adipose tissue in the body.

3. Increase the fat content in feces:

The oil excreted in feces appears as obvious oil droplets or oil films, medically known as fat diarrhea. The fat content per gram of feces can increase from the normal<7g to>15g, and the volume of feces increases and floats on the water surface. This type of fat does not contain toxins and is pure dietary fat that has not been metabolized. It may come with a small amount of unabsorbed fat soluble vitamins.

4. Composition of oil components: About 60% of the oil discharged from

is undigested triglycerides, 30% is partially hydrolyzed diglycerides, and the rest is cholesterol esters and phospholipids. These ingredients are basically in proportion to the fat composition in food. Vegetable oil appears liquid, while animal fat may solidify in low temperature environments, but it does not affect its excretion process.

5. Difference from body fat: The oil excreted by

oil expelling pills is completely different from subcutaneous or visceral fat in the human body. The breakdown of body fat produces ketone bodies that are excreted through urine, while the effect of oil expelling pills is limited to the digestive tract and does not affect the breakdown metabolism of fat cells. If the discharge of oil is accompanied by blood streaks or abnormal color, be alert to complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding.

It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet during the use of oil expelling pills and avoid high-fat foods to alleviate symptoms of fat diarrhea. Daily fat intake should be controlled between 30-50g, with priority given to unsaturated fatty acids such as fish and nuts. Moderate aerobic exercise can enhance weight loss, but attention should be paid to supplementing fat soluble vitamins. When severe diarrhea or abdominal pain occurs, seek medical attention promptly. Long term use may affect the absorption of calcium and vitamin D. Cleaning with wet toilet paper after defecation can reduce the irritation of residual oil to the skin.
