Description:
Zoo Med’s Repti Calcium without Vitamin D3 is a phosphourus-free calcium supplement
for reptiles and amphibians. We use only precipitated calcium carbonate which
is white in color and is essentially lead free. Pure calcium carbonate is
white, not gray. Impurities in other sources of calcium carbonate (oyster
shell calcium) cause the supplement to appear gray. The calcium carbonate
particles in Repti Calcium have a unique shape and an extremely high surface
area per gram, resulting in increased calcium bioavailability. With Repti
Calcium you can take comfort in knowing that your reptiles are getting a
highly bioavailability source of calcium carbonate that is free of harmful
impurities.
Reptiles that benefit from UVB lighting either from the sun or from UVB lamps
may not require additional Vitamin D3 supplementation. Reptiles synthesize
Vitamin D3 in their skin after exposure to UVB and heat.
