When you undergo a sleeve gastrectomy, a large part of your stomach is removed during surgery. This limits the amount you can eat. Even if a gastric band is placed, you will be able to eat less. Bariatric surgery is the start of a new life and a step towards a healthier lifestyle. After undergoing a sleeve gastrectomy or the placement of a gastric band, your body does not receive enough nutrients to keep you feeling fit enough without extra supplements. Believe products ensure that you receive the necessary vitamins and minerals in the correct dosage daily to supplement your diet after your sleeve gastrectomy or gastric band surgery. A major advantage of the Believe capsules is that they are one size smaller (size 1) than comparable capsules from other providers (size 0, such as FitForMe&#8217;s WLS Optimum capsules). This may seem like a small difference, but it makes Believe capsules easier to take and leads to fewer complaints such as nausea or other stomach and\/or abdominal discomfort. At Elan, we pay great attention to the tolerability of our products, because after your sleeve gastrectomy or gastric band surgery, you must continue to take a WLS \/ bariatric supplement daily for life to avoid developing vitamin and\/or mineral deficiencies. Elan is therefore very proud of the fact that we have succeeded in developing a size 1 capsule containing all the daily required vitamins and minerals in the correct dosage after a sleeve gastrectomy or gastric band surgery.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rapid Release Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Elan&#8217;s Believe capsules have long been known for their excellent tolerability. This major advantage of the Believe capsules is due to the fact that the capsules are one size smaller than those of comparable providers (such as FitForMe&#8217;s WLS Optimum capsules). This makes Elan&#8217;s Believe capsules easier to take and leads to fewer stomach and abdominal complaints (such as nausea). Given that you must continue to take a WLS\/bariatric supplement daily for life after your sleeve gastrectomy to avoid developing vitamin and\/or mineral deficiencies, we at Elan remain committed every day to making the tolerability of our products as optimal as possible. Elan&#8217;s Believe tablets with Rapid Release Technology have a similar disintegration time to the Believe capsules. This is, of course, of great importance to prevent you from developing vitamin and\/or mineral deficiencies after your sleeve gastrectomy or gastric band. Believe tablets are neutral in taste and smell. Due to their smaller size and smooth coating, Believe tablets are even easier to take than Believe capsules. Let alone compared to similar capsules from other providers, such as FitForMe&#8217;s WLS Optimum capsules. The sample pack contains 2 Believe capsules, 2 Believe tablets, and 2 Believe chewable tablets. Elan&#8217;s Believe products are high-quality dietary supplements to provide for your daily vitamin and mineral needs. The dosage of Believe products is based on the most recent scientific literature to meet your daily needs as accurately as possible and ensure perfect individual adjustment. The ingredients in Believe products are natural where possible and always well absorbed by your body. Believe tablets are neutral in taste and smell. Believe chewable tablets have a fresh and delicious strawberry flavour.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Calcium intake<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After your weight loss surgery, you will also receive less calcium, and your body really cannot do 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 Calcium Chew chewable tablets and Calcium Vital tablets specifically for people with weight loss surgery to supplement your daily needs. Both the Calcium Soft Chews, the Calcium Chew chewable tablets, and the Calcium Vital tablets contain calcium citrate, as this form of calcium is well absorbed by your body. In addition, vitamin D3 has been added to the Calcium Soft Chews, the Chew chewable tablets, and the Calcium Vital tablets, as this increases calcium absorption in your bones. Calcium and vitamin D3 contribute to the maintenance of strong bones and teeth. The sample pack contains 2 Calcium Chew chewable tablets and 2 Calcium Vital tablets. The required amount of calcium depends on your surgery. Based on the international guidelines of scientific associations (ASMBS and IFSO), we advise you to take at least 1,200 &#8211; 1,500 mg per day. It is also important to take a maximum of 500 mg of calcium at a time, to give your body the opportunity and time to absorb the calcium taken. For the best advice after your surgery and in your personal situation, we recommend that you contact your practitioner. Calcium is not included in Elan&#8217;s WLS products because calcium inhibits the absorption of iron.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Important<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you are also using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elan-produkte.com\/en\/produkte\/calcium-soft-chew\/\">Calcium Soft Chew<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elan-produkte.com\/en\/produkte\/calcium-vital-tablets\/\">Calcium Vital tablets<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elan-produkte.com\/en\/produkte\/calcium-chew-chewable-tablets\/\">Calcium Chew chewable t<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elan-produkte.com\/producten\/calcium-chew-kauwtabletten\/\">ablets<\/a>, take them at a different time than the Believe capsule, Believe tablet, and Ferro Vital tablet.
