The Compass capsules, tablets and chewable tablets (multivitamins & minerals) have been specially developed for individuals who have undergone a gastric bypass. In determining the composition, Elan utilized the most recent scientific insights. During a gastric bypass, your stomach is reduced in size and a portion of the intestines is rerouted or bypassed. As a result, you will be able to eat less and your body can absorb fewer nutrients. The Compass capsules, tablets, and chewable tablets ensure that you still receive sufficient daily vitamins and minerals to supplement your diet after your gastric bypass.
Sufficient protein is of great importance to support your body during the weight loss process after surgery; to support you in this, Elan has developed Whey Protein. The Whey Protein is available in three different flavors.
Calcium after your gastric bypass
After your weight loss surgery, you will also consume less calcium, and your body truly cannot function without it! Calcium is an important nutrient that ensures the maintenance of strong bones and teeth and contributes to the normal functioning of your muscles. Elan has developed the Calcium Soft Chew, Calcium Vital tablets and the Calcium Chew chewable tablets specifically for people who have had weight loss surgery to supplement your daily requirements. Elan’s calcium products contain calcium citrate, as this form of calcium is well absorbed by your body. Additionally, vitamin D3 has been added to Elan’s calcium products, as this increases calcium absorption in your bones. Calcium and vitamin D3 contribute to the maintenance of strong bones and teeth.
The required amount of calcium depends on your surgery. Based on the internationally applicable guidelines of scientific associations (ASMBS and IFSO), we advise you to take at least 1,200 – 1,500 mg per day. It is also important to take doses of no more than 500 mg of calcium at a time, to give your body the opportunity and time to absorb the ingested calcium. For the best advice after your surgery and for your personal situation, we recommend contacting your practitioner.
Important
Calcium is not included in Elan’s Compass products because calcium inhibits the absorption of iron. There should be at least 2 hours between taking Elan’s Compass and calcium products, so that your body has sufficient time to absorb the iron properly.
