It contains both pre-formed vitamin A, as well as vitamin D3, so to use it at EVERY feeding might create a risk of over-supplementation.
Initially, it was the only supplement I used to use it for my first cham, but after learning more about the risks of oversupplementation, I cut back on it a lot in favour of pure calcium, and only continued using it as a substitute for a better multivitamin like Herptivite (which I struggled to source in this country).
As for positive results, well, my cham doesn't have MBD and it isn't dead, but I can't say whether that has anything to do with the supplement.
Personally, I don't believe that it's the best supplement out there. I prefer to stick with tried-and-tested combo of using separate plain calcium, plain calcium with D3, and then a specialist multivitamin (as most experienced keepers suggest), instead of using a supplement like Chameleon Dust ICB that promises to do everything in one bottle - that makes it harder to control the specific levels of supplementation.

Tygerr,
Your spot on ever time.
I really like the T-Rex dust, but it's not an all-in-one supplement.
I use 5 supplements.
1) Phosphorous free calcium without D3
2) Phosphorous free calcium with D3
3) Minerall(o)
4) Herptivite
5) SandFire T-Rex Chameleon Formula

I really like the T-Rex dust, but it's not an all-in-one supplement.
I use 5 supplements.
1) Phosphorous free calcium without D3 At most feedings
2) Phosphorous free calcium with D3 once per month
3) Minerall(o) Rotate with regular calcium
4) Herptivite once per month
5) SandFire T-Rex Chameleon Formula once or twice per month
T-Rex doesn't have much D3 in it.
Minerall(o) is just a calcium w/o D3 and trace minerals.

i personally dont recommend that all in one supplement. my first chameleons i didnt know much and only used that stuff and used it everyday. and low and behold my male had mbd and died from it at the age of 1 1/2 years. it couldnt been multiple probs contributing to his death but that stuff dont have much d3 and i think thats y my chamy got mbd cuz all the calcium and crap in that stuff, if your not getting adequate d3 than its useless.
