FAQ
Why choose a calcium supplement without Vitamin D3?
If your reptile has access to proper UVB lighting or receives D3 from another supplement, using a calcium-only formula prevents over-supplementation of D3, which can be harmful in excess.
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 without 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.
