Who are the ELAN Compass Rapid tablets for?
The Compass Rapid tablets are specially designed for people who have undergone gastric bypass surgery and want an even more comfortable swallowing experience. It is a high-quality dietary supplement to meet the daily requirement of vitamins and minerals after gastric bypass.
What are the consequences of gastric bypass surgery?
A gastric bypass involves reducing the size of your stomach and diverting or bypassing part of the intestine. As a result, you can eat less and your body can absorb fewer nutrients. The surgery is the beginning of a new life and a step towards a healthier lifestyle. Without additional supplements, your body won’t get enough nutrients to keep you fit. The Compass Rapid tablets ensure that you get the necessary vitamins and minerals in the right dosage every day.
What are the benefits of ELAN Compass Rapid tablets?
Compared to the Compass capsules – and thus compared to the capsules of other suppliers (e.g. the WLS Forte capsules from FitForMe) – the Compass Rapid tablets have an even smaller size, which makes them even easier to take and leads to fewer complaints such as nausea or other stomach and/or abdominal complaints.
The starting point of the development process was that the Compass Rapid tablets should have a disintegration time comparable to that of the Compass capsules. The rapid-release technology developed in this way ensures that the vitamins and minerals you need are available for absorption by your body just as quickly as with the Compass capsules. This is very important so that you do not develop vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies after your gastric bypass. The Compass Rapid tablets are tasteless and odourless and even easier to take due to their smaller size and smooth coating.
The composition of the Compass Rapid tablets is based on the latest scientific research to meet your daily needs as accurately as possible and ensure the best possible individual dosage. The ingredients in the Compass Rapid tablets are natural and easily absorbed by the body. Since you must continue to take a WLS (“Weight Loss Surgery”) supplement daily after your gastric bypass for life in order not to develop vitamin and/or mineral deficiencies, ELAN pays great attention to the tolerability of its products.
What is the recommended dosage and the right time to take ELAN Compass Rapid tablets?
Take 1 Compass Rapid tablet per day, preferably before or during dinner. Take the tablet with a sip of water or other sugar-free beverage. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. One Compass Rapid tablet exceeds the recommended daily allowance of a number of vitamins and minerals for an adult. Therefore, you should only take the Compass Rapid tablets on the advice of your doctor or therapist. In case of overdose, please consult your doctor.
If you forget to take your Compass Rapid tablet in one day, it is not a tragedy as long as it does not occur regularly. You can take the Compass Rapid tablet again as usual the following day and do not have to make up for the missed daily dose.
Important: If you are also taking the Calcium Vital Swallow tablets or the Calcium Chew chewable tablets, take them at a different time than your Compass Rapid tablet, as calcium inhibits the absorption of iron. You should wait at least 2 hours between taking the Calcium Vital Swallow Tablet/Calcium Chew Chewable Tablet and the Compass Rapid Tablet so that your body has enough time to properly absorb the iron contained in the Compass Rapid tablet.
