Advice
Your operation

The Compass capsules have been specially developed for individuals who have undergone a gastric bypass. In a gastric bypass, your stomach is reduced in size, and a portion of your intestines is rerouted or bypassed. As a result, you will eat less, and your body will absorb fewer nutrients. The bariatric surgery marks the beginning of a new life and a step towards a healthier lifestyle. After a gastric bypass, your body does not receive sufficient nutrients to maintain your energy levels without additional supplements. The Compass capsules ensure that you receive the necessary daily vitamins and minerals as a complement to your diet following the surgery.

The Advantage of Compass Capsules

A significant benefit of Elan's Compass capsules is that they are slightly smaller (size 0) compared to similar bariatric or WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) supplements offered by other providers. For instance, the WLS Forte capsules from FitForMe are size 00. While this may seem like a minor difference, it makes the Compass capsules easier to swallow and leads to fewer side effects, such as nausea or other stomach and/or abdominal complaints. Given that after a gastric bypass, you must take a bariatric supplement daily for life to avoid deficiencies in vitamins and/or minerals, Elan places great emphasis on the tolerability of its products. Elan is therefore proud to have developed a size 0 capsule that contains all the daily required vitamins and minerals in the correct dosage post-gastric bypass.

The Compass capsules from Elan are a high-quality nutritional supplement designed to meet your daily vitamin and mineral needs after a gastric bypass. The dosage of the Compass capsules is based on the latest scientific literature to ensure it precisely meets your daily requirements and is perfectly tailored to your individual needs. Where possible, the ingredients in the Compass capsules are natural and always highly bioavailable for your body.

Important

If you are also using the Calcium Vital tablets or the Calcium Chew tablets, take them at a different time to the Compass capsule. There should be a minimum of 2 hours between taking the Calcium Vital or Calcium Chew tablets and the Compass capsule to give your body enough time to properly absorb the iron.

Take 1 Compass capsule per day, preferably before or during your evening meal. Swallow the capsule with a sip of water or another sugar-free drink. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Use only as advised by your healthcare provider. If you are taking medication, please read the leaflets carefully. In case of overdose, consult your doctor.
