What ever happened to "pinch of this, pinch of that a few times a month?" Worked great for me for years.

Just pulled the brands off the shelf. Reptivite has the acetate. Herptivite has nothing. While I applaud the Reptivite folks, I believe the quantity negligible. Better than nothing, but not enough.

Just found this on the web site,says the vitamin A is fish liver oil if this helps?Seems like theres quite a bit in the powder or is that naff all? have just seen that this is a new product with d3 also,my reptivite must be old because its got no d3 and list of componets is different
