Arcadia earth pro supplements

[jamest0o0]

Was seeing if anyone here has used these. Don't hear many people mention them, but they are apparently made using whole sources rather than extracted vitamins(my understanding) making it hard to overdose them. There is also the insect fuel. Wondering if these would be better for Montanes considering their sensitivity to dusting?

The breeder of my avatar recommend Repashy. I use low D in the summer when he is outdoors more and regular D in the winter. I use both very sparingly only three times per week.
I'm interested to hear what others have to say.

Yeah and I'm sure there's nothing wrong with that, seems many use repashy, sticky tongues, herptivite, reptivite, etc. Never hear anything about Arcadia in the US though. With how they make the supplements using bee pollen, clay, etc that might be a safer way for Montanes to get what they need. With all of the research I hear they do over there, I trust they only settle for the best in their supplements. John courtney Smith is my favorite person to listen to on CBP and his books are awesome, talks a lot about what they use for their supplements.

I've got the Acadia Earth Pro-A that i dusted with when I first got my cham and will continue to do so once every 2 weeks or so.

I'm going to look into whether or not I can dust with it more often.

I use Repashy Calcium Plus (which doesn't have D3) as a daily calcium supplement.

I got my Arcadia Earth Pro-A Multivitamin from lightyourreptiles.com

Based on semi sciencey human studies...

Chemical equivalent vitamins and minerals(which is a very broad brush, as some are hormones or just meant to be oxidized) may not be readily absorbed outside of the "matrix" they come in.

As an example, liquid vit-c is not going to be absorbed at the same efficiency vs eating an orange/potato.

So no, vitamins are not being "extracted" from plants most of the time, they are processed out of non organic matter.

Son theory (and it is a theory, not a fact) whole sourced "pills" may be more easily processed by the body, vs the chemical equivalent.

Repashy Calcium Plus has Vit D. Are you sure that's what you meant.

@nightanole Was waiting for your reply. Maybe I didn't word the best, but that's what I was sort of getting at. Like you said, we may not be getting the same quality vitamin C from a pill, as we would from an orange. My understanding is these supplements try to go off that and provide a complete whole source. Rather than the vitamin alone. Similar to how we get much better quality protein from eating an egg, chicken, beef, nuts, etc than we do from drinking straight whey or casein powder.

Haha no, I meant Repashy SuperCal NoD. Thanks for pointing that out, I have the Repashy Calcium Plus for a biweekly supplement.
