Not sure where you are getting the 80% value. Calcium Plus has 20,000 IU/lb of Vit D. Calcium Plus LoD has 8,000 IU/lb.

That is 40% of the Vit D that the regular Calcium Plus has. That is a very modest number and IMO most species of chameleons will not get a Vit D overdose if living indoors, even under high quality UV lamps. Several very successful breeders use Calcium Plus at every feeding, that's the regular kind, not even the LoD.
I compared the calcium with D3 that I had on hand, Zoo Med's Repti Calcium with D3 which has 22,907 IU per kilogram with Repashy's LoD.
Repashy LoD is minimum 8,000 IU per POUND, or 17,621 IU per kg. When I compared the two products I had, Repashy's LoD was only 80% D3. I had no idea Repashy's Calcium Plus had so much D3 in it until you pointed it out.
The advice given on CF has always been to give D3 a couple of times a month. Repashy's Calcium Plus has double the D3 that my Zoo Med product has. That's a huge difference. I had no idea there was such a difference between the two products.
