Believe capsules
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.

Elan’s Believe capsules are Halal certified and suitable for a vegetarian diet.

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.

Calcium Vital tablets
After your weight loss surgery, you will also absorb less calcium, and your body truly cannot do without it! Calcium is an essential nutrient that helps maintain strong bones and teeth and contributes to the normal functioning of your muscles. Elan has developed the Calcium Vital tablets specifically for people who have undergone weight loss surgery to help meet your daily calcium needs. Calcium Vital contains calcium citrate, a form of calcium that is well absorbed by your body. Additionally, Vitamin D3 has been added to the Calcium Vital tablets, as it enhances 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 recognized guidelines from scientific associations (ASMBS and IFSO), we recommend taking at least 1,200 – 1,500 mg per day. It’s also important to take no more than 500 mg of calcium at a time, to allow your body the opportunity and time to absorb the calcium. For the best advice after your surgery and tailored to your personal situation, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider.
Calcium is not included in Elan’s WLS products (Compass, Believe, and Supreme products) because calcium inhibits iron absorption.
Ingredients
Calcium citrate, filler (E460(i)), anti-caking agent (E570), stabiliser (E170), glazing agents (E1521, E464), cholecalciferol. This product contains no added lactose, gluten, flavourings, colourings, or fragrances.
