This supplement can be used safely in place of sole sources of Calcium. By changing your feeding cycle to include a balanced inclusion of magnesium, you will ensure optimum bone, neurological, and muscular health. Magnesium is essential to life and has often been missing from the dietary provision of many captive exotics. Magnesium works as a critical agent with biological enzymes to aid mineral assimilation, regulate nerve and muscle function, protein synthesis, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and plays a very useful role within the digestive system. Calcium Pro-Mg is a 9:1 CaCo3-MgCo3 mix. The blend of calcium and magnesium is essential for natural assimilation, storage, and use of calcium and contains bio-available magnesium. This product is ideal for dusting on live food, greens, or any defrosted prey items. It can be used on every feed, or placed in a single dish within the enclosure for reptiles to utilise as and when they feel the need. It should be used with a good quality, up-to-date UVB light.
