Zoo Med Repti Calcium with Vitamin D3 Reptile Supplement 3 oz

Calcium and Vitamin D3 Support for Reptiles and Amphibians

Zoo Med Repti Calcium with Vitamin D3 is a phosphorus-free calcium carbonate supplement formulated specifically for reptiles and amphibians. This formula combines a highly bioavailable source of calcium with safe levels of Vitamin D3, making it a convenient all-in-one option for animals that may not receive adequate D3 from their environment.

Unlike calcium supplements derived from oyster shells, Repti Calcium is free of harmful impurities, providing a cleaner and more reliable supplement for your reptile's daily care routine. Its unique particle shape and high surface area per gram enhance calcium absorption, giving your animal more benefit from every serving.

The compact 3 oz container is ideal for keepers looking to try the formula or maintain a smaller supply for regular supplementation.

Quick Product Snapshot

Material and Design Breakdown

Repti Calcium uses precipitated calcium carbonate, a refined form of calcium chosen for its purity and superior bioavailability. The unique particle shape maximizes surface area per gram, supporting more efficient calcium uptake compared to standard calcium powders. The formula is sourced free of oyster shell derivatives, reducing the risk of contaminants that can be present in lower-quality calcium supplements. Safe levels of Vitamin D3 are included to support calcium metabolism.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

This supplement is intended for use as an additional calcium and D3 source for reptiles and amphibians. It is particularly well-suited for animals housed indoors without access to natural sunlight or UVB lighting. Dust feeder insects or food items lightly before offering to your animal. If your animal already receives D3 through UVB lighting, consider the without-D3 formula to avoid over-supplementation.

Ideal for Reptile Keepers Who...

• House reptiles or amphibians indoors without dedicated UVB lighting
• Prefer a combined calcium and D3 supplement for simplified care routines
• Want a phosphorus-free calcium source free of oyster shell impurities
• Follow a regular supplementation schedule for their animals
• Prefer a smaller container size for convenience or trial

FAQ

When should I use the with-D3 formula instead of the without-D3 formula?
The with-D3 formula is best suited for reptiles housed indoors without access to UVB lighting, as D3 is typically synthesized through UVB exposure. If your animal has proper UVB lighting, the without-D3 formula may be more appropriate to avoid excess D3 intake.

What makes this calcium more bioavailable than others?
The precipitated calcium carbonate used in Repti Calcium has a unique particle shape with a high surface area per gram, which supports more efficient absorption compared to standard calcium powders.

Is this supplement safe for amphibians?
Yes, Repti Calcium with D3 is formulated for both reptiles and amphibians.

Why is it important that this product is not derived from oyster shells?
Oyster shell-derived calcium can contain harmful impurities. Repti Calcium uses precipitated calcium carbonate, which is free of those impurities for a cleaner supplement.

How do I use this supplement?
Lightly dust feeder insects or food items with Repti Calcium before feeding as part of your regular supplementation routine.
