Rep-Cal's Herptivite is a broad-spectrum multivitamin, multimineral, and amino acid supplement developed from the latest findings in reptile and amphibian nutritional research. Its formulation contains all-natural source ingredients with a base of sea vegetation. Sea vegetation is rich in essential trace elements and minerals in a more bioavailable format than lab-made.
Herptivite contains precise levels of vitamins and minerals combined in perfect balance to ensure correct utilization of protein and other essential nutrients for growth, reproduction, maintenance, and many aspects of your reptile's bodily functions.
Herptivite does not contain Vitamin A — instead, its formula contains beta carotene. Beta carotene is converted to Vitamin A as needed by reptiles' bodies, helping prevent potential Vitamin A toxicity. It is not yet known whether insectivores and carnivores are capable of using beta carotene, so Herptivite is best used for herbivores and omnivores.
How to Use:
Herptivite is designed to be mixed with Rep-Cal calcium powder before use. These two products come separately rather than combined because the beta carotene in Herptivite would otherwise be damaged by the calcium during manufacturing.
- Thoroughly mix a 1:1 ratio of Rep-Cal calcium and Herptivite in a plastic bag.
- Place insects in the bag.
- Shake slowly until they are completely covered.
- Feed insects to reptile.
