Found new liquid calcium supplement ...

veronicag Jul 11, 2003 10:02 AM

Hello all. I was wandering through a local health food store looking for a new calcium supplement that was in liquid form. I found a product by Nature's Life. The link below will take you to a website that has all the info on this product for those of you that are interested. It has an orange flavor and my beardies absolutely love it. It has three forms of calcium in it, calcium citrate, lactate and gluconate. I hear that the calcium gluconate is the easiest form of calcium for reptiles to digest. It also has vitamin D3 and magnesium in it. Does anyone know if the magnesium in the supplement will be beneficial to the beardies or what?

I've found it really easy to just squirt some of this liquid on the salads instead of worrying about the powder not dissolving. Since I hardly feed crickets anymore, it just seems that this liquid supplement will work better.

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas about this product?

Thanks for your input.

I looked on my Rep-Cal vitamins, it has 198 mg of magnesium..
I have the same concerns, mine don't eat too many crickets anymore and if I put vitamins or calcium on their greens, they eat them, but tend to eat less.
