Repashy Superfoods Vitamin A Plus Reptile Supplement 85g

Repashy Superfoods Vitamin A Plus is a micro-fine preformed Vitamin A supplement formulated for reptiles and amphibians. It addresses one of the most commonly misunderstood nutritional gaps in captive herpetoculture — the difference between plant-derived carotenoids and the active retinol form that animal bodies actually use.

Why Preformed Vitamin A Matters

Many keepers rely on beta carotene from plant sources, assuming it converts to usable Vitamin A in the body. In reality, a significant number of reptile and amphibian species cannot reliably make this conversion, particularly under the conditions of captivity. Deficiencies in preformed Vitamin A (retinol) can develop even when carotenoid-rich foods are offered regularly. This supplement provides Vitamin A directly as Retinyl Acetate — the active, fat-soluble form — removing that conversion step entirely.

Formulation and Ingredients

The Vitamin A in this supplement is delivered as spray-dried, water-dispersible Retinyl Acetate powder, which ensures consistent distribution when dusted onto food. It is combined with natural beta carotene sources from Chlorella and Spirulina algae, providing complementary carotenoids alongside the preformed vitamin. Carriers include Calcium Carbonate, Fructose Powder, and Cellulose Powder, with Calcium Propionate, Rosemary, and Mixed Tocopherols used as preservatives.

Guaranteed Analysis

• Vitamin A (as Retinyl Acetate): 2,000,000 IU/lb
• Natural beta carotene provided via Chlorella and Spirulina Algae
• Net weight: 85g

Dosage and Usage

Because this supplement contains high concentrations of preformed Vitamin A, it should not be used as a daily supplement. As a general guideline, use no more than once per week as part of a broader supplementation routine. Oversupplementation with fat-soluble vitamins can cause toxicity, so measured, infrequent use is essential.

For reptile keepers who want to address Vitamin A status accurately — rather than relying on conversion from plant sources — Repashy Vitamin A Plus gives you a well-formulated, precisely dosed option you can trust as part of a structured supplement rotation.
