Bug Burger is meant for maintaining the feeder insects on a safe diet that won’t kill them through calcium overdose while the Superload is meant for increasing calcium, vitamin A,D, and E within 24-48 hours before they’re fed to the reptile.

Yea im with Gry, they are apples and oranges. You can raise feeders on "just" bug burger, you cant do that with superload.
Also im part of the bug buger dry master race, but i do have repashy powders, so im unbiased

Would this be used before every feeding or how frequent?

I'm looking for a food and gut load in one is there such a thing or are the two things to different from one another?

Superload would be 24-48 hours before every feeding. Calcium tends to decrease palatability of gut loading diets so calcium levels tend to peak and decrease after 48 hours.

Not that I know of, the amount of calcium required to increase the calcium to phosphorus ratio in feeder insects to 1:1 before calcium dust is used will typically kill feeders in around 96 hours I believe? Some gut loading diets, like Mazuri Better Bug, kill mealworms within 24-48 hours which is why I use Repashy Superload instead when gut loading them.
