Calcium Pure from Nekton Rep +
Calcium for reptiles and amphibians
NEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur+ is a highly effective calcium supplement with minerals, enriched with trace elements without vitamin D3 to prevent and compensate for calcium deficiency and its consequential diseases. It supports the optimal construction and maintenance of the skeleton and promotes a healthy calcium metabolism in reptiles and amphibians. NEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur+ contains no vitamin D3 and is specially developed for animals that are supplied with sufficient UVB light or free-living animals with sufficient sun exposure (approx. 10 hours). These can produce their own vitamin D and therefore do not need an extra proportion of vitamin D3 in the product.One of the most important supplements is calcium, which is very important not only for eggshell and bone formation, but also for other vital processes (such as muscle contractions). The calcium content in the feed is usually very low. Especially the feeder insects lead to a calcium deficiency without supplementation. As the animals also absorb additional calcium in the wild, this must also be offered in the terrarium. Especially female and growing animals have a higher calcium requirement.
For calcium to be utilised by the body, reptiles and amphibians need vitamin D. This can be supplied via appropriate supplements or can be produced by the animal in the skin with the help of UVB radiation.
No additional vitamin D needs to be administered via food if the animal is offered the correct quantity and quality of UVB radiation. With sufficient UVB irradiation of healthy animals, vitamin D deficiency usually does not occur. Vitamin precursors that are ingested with food (these are mainly found in the muscle and fatty tissue of feeder animals and plants) are converted in the skin under the influence of sunlight (or UVB radiation) and warmth into a precursor of vitamin D3 and finally in the kidney tissue into the active form of vitamin D3. The required amount of UVB radiation (intensity, duration of illumination) depends on the animal species.
Desert-dwelling species, for example, require considerably higher amounts of UVB radiation.
With sufficient supply of vitamin D, optimal calcium absorption in the digestive tract can be expected.
Feeding recommendation:
0.25 g NEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur+ per kg body weight daily, or 1.5 g once a week.
Not water-soluble, suitable for dusting the food / the feeder animals.
One level measuring spoon (enclosed) corresponds to 1 g NEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur+.
This supplementary feed may, due to the higher content of trace elements compared to complete feeds, only be given to reptiles up to 5% of the daily ration.
Storage: NEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur+ should be stored in a dry place without exposure to sunlight, between 15 °C and 25 °C.
DO NOT STORE IN THE REFRIGERATOR!!!
Recommendation: Disinfect drinking vessels and food containers daily with NEKTON-Desi-Care to ensure hygienically proper feeding!
