Exo Terra Calcium Liquid Supplement 120ml / 4 Fl Oz is a liquid calcium and magnesium supplement f...Exo Terra Calcium Liquid Supplement 120ml / 4 Fl Oz is a liquid calcium and magnesium supplement for reptiles and amphibians. Tap water, when treated for human consumption, leaves toxic residues of chlorine and chloramine, as well as minute traces of toxic metals, making it unsafe for reptiles and amphibians. This conditioner treats tap water, removing chlorine and chloramine and neutralizing heavy metals. Calcium deficiency is a major dietary problem in captive reptiles and amphibians. Calcium contains high levels of Calcium. Calcium is a bone-building mineral and is an integral part of the entire skeletal system. Magnesium stimulates the body's production of calcitonin, a hormone that supports healthy bone density. Both also aid in regulating muscle contraction (such as heartbeat), nerve signals, and hormone production.
This guide is for reptile and amphibian owners looking to ensure their pets receive adequate calcium and magnesium. The Exo Terra Calcium Liquid Supplement provides a readily absorbable form of these essential minerals, promoting bone health and overall well-being. However, it's crucial to use the supplement as directed to avoid over-supplementation.
