Repashy Superfoods Vitamin A Plus

Repashy Vitamin A Plus is a micro-fine Vitamin A supplement formulated specifically for reptiles and amphibians. It delivers preformed Vitamin A (Retinol) alongside natural beta carotene sources — covering both direct supplementation and carotenoid conversion in a single product.

Why Preformed Vitamin A Matters

Vitamin A exists in two dietary forms: preformed Retinol from animal sources, and carotenoids such as beta carotene from plant sources, which must be converted by the body. Research has shown that many reptile and amphibian species cannot reliably convert carotenoids into usable Retinol, particularly under captive conditions — meaning deficiencies can develop even when carotenoid-rich foods are provided. Repashy Vitamin A Plus addresses this directly by supplying Retinyl Acetate, the active preformed form, alongside natural algae-derived beta carotene for additional support.

Form and Bioavailability

The preformed Vitamin A in this supplement is delivered as spray-dried, water-dispersible Retinyl Acetate powder. This micro-fine format ensures even distribution when dusted onto prey items or mixed into food, reducing the risk of uneven dosing. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, and this formulation accounts for that in its carrier system.

Ingredients

• Calcium Carbonate, Fructose Powder, Cellulose Powder (carriers)
• Chlorella Algae and Spirulina Algae (natural beta carotene sources)
• Retinyl Acetate (preformed Vitamin A)
• Calcium Propionate, Rosemary, and Mixed Tocopherols (preservatives)
• Guaranteed analysis: Vitamin A (as Retinyl Acetate) — 2,000,000 IU/lb

Directions for Use

Due to the high concentration of preformed Vitamin A, this product should be used with care. As a regular supplement, it is not recommended for use more than once per week. Vitamin A toxicity is a genuine concern with fat-soluble vitamins, so accurate dusting and adherence to dosing frequency are important.

Repashy Vitamin A Plus gives keepers a reliable, well-formulated tool for managing Vitamin A status in species where dietary conversion alone cannot be depended upon — particularly useful for chameleons, tortoises, and other species with documented sensitivity to Vitamin A deficiency.
