Advice
Your operation

The Believe capsules have been specially developed for individuals who have undergone a sleeve gastrectomy or gastric band surgery. During a sleeve gastrectomy, a large part of your stomach is removed, reducing the amount of food you can eat. Similarly, if you have a gastric band placed, your food intake will also be restricted. Bariatric surgery marks the beginning of a new life and a step towards a healthier lifestyle. After a sleeve gastrectomy or gastric band surgery, your body will not receive enough nutrients to maintain your energy levels without additional supplements. The Believe capsules ensure that you receive the necessary daily vitamins and minerals in the correct dosage to complement your diet following a sleeve gastrectomy or gastric band surgery.

The advantage of the Believe capsules

A significant benefit of the Believe capsules is that they are slightly smaller (size 1) compared to similar bariatric or WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) supplements offered by other providers (size 0, such as the WLS Optimum capsules from FitForMe). While this may seem like a minor difference, it makes the Believe capsules easier to swallow and results in fewer side effects like nausea or other stomach and/or abdominal complaints. Given that after a sleeve gastrectomy or gastric band surgery you must take a WLS/bariatric supplement daily for life to prevent vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies, at Elan, we place great emphasis on the tolerability of our products. Elan is proud to have developed a size 1 capsule that contains all the daily required vitamins and minerals in the correct dosage after a sleeve gastrectomy or gastric band surgery.

Elan’s Believe capsules are a high-quality food supplement designed to meet your daily vitamin and mineral needs. The dosage of Believe capsules is based on the latest scientific literature to provide an accurate amount tailored to your individual needs. The ingredients in Believe capsules are, where possible, natural and always easily absorbed by your body.

Important

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

Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Use only as advised by your healthcare provider. If you are taking medication, make sure to read the leaflets carefully.
