Rep-Cal Phosphorous-Free Calcium with Vitamin D3 Original Powdered Supplement (5.5 oz)

Rep-Cal Phosphorous-Free Calcium with Vitamin D3 Original Powdered Supplement

Captive-bred reptiles and amphibians are highly susceptible to vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which can lead to a range of severe health issues such as slow growth, organ failure, reproductive complications, deformities, or even death. Ensuring proper calcium intake is vital for their bone development and overall health. The Rep-Cal Phosphorous-Free Calcium with Vitamin D3 Original Powder is specifically designed to address these needs by providing essential calcium in a highly absorbable form.

This supplement is formulated from 100% natural oyster shell calcium carbonate, which is phosphorus-free, ensuring that reptiles receive the required calcium without the risks associated with excessive phosphorus. Additionally, it contains Vitamin D3, a crucial component for helping your reptile’s body absorb calcium efficiently, supporting bone strength and healthy development.
