Zoo Med Repti Calcium with vitamin D3
Phosphorus-free dietary supplement for reptiles and amphibians. The product uses only precipitated calcium carbonate, which is white in color and basically does not contain lead. Pure calcium carbonate is white, not gray. Due to impurities in other sources of calcium carbonate (e.g. calcium from oysters), the additive looks gray. The calcium carbonate particles in Repti Calcium have a unique shape and an extremely large surface area per gram, which results in greater bioavailability of calcium - the additive is absorbed faster and easier into the animal organism. With Repti Calcium, you can be reassured that your reptiles are getting a highly bioavailable source of calcium carbonate that does not contain harmful impurities. Reptiles that stay indoors can take extra vitamin D3 in their diet. Our formula contains safe levels of vitamin D3 when used as prescribed. Some reptiles can meet their vitamin D3 needs with UVB exposure. If you do not want to add vitamin D3, use Repti Calcium without vitamin D3. For a complete supplement of vitamins and minerals, use Reptivite with or without vitamin D3.
