{"product_id":"reptile-systems-insect-food","title":"Reptile Systems Insect Food","description":"\u003cp\u003eReptile Systems Insect Food is a gut-loading formula designed to maximise the nutritional value of feeder insects before they reach your animal. If any part of your animal's diet consists of live insects, what those insects have eaten matters enormously — this is where that nutritional chain begins. Available in a range of sizes to suit everything from small personal collections to larger-scale setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat gut-loading actually does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGut-loading works on a simple principle: feeder insects pass on the nutrients they've recently consumed to the animals that eat them. A feeder insect given a nutritionally complete diet in the hours before feeding becomes a far more valuable food source. Reptile Systems Insect Food is formulated specifically to load insects with vitamins, minerals, and natural colour-enhancing compounds that support the animals consuming them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlfalfa\u003c\/strong\u003e — a recognised nutritional superfood providing iron, magnesium, manganese, vitamins A, C, E and several B vitamins, plus quality dietary fibre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium carbonate\u003c\/strong\u003e — naturally occurring calcium in its common form, essential for bone integrity and a range of other physiological functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDandelion\u003c\/strong\u003e — rich in fibre, vitamins A, C, E, K and folate, alongside minerals including iron, calcium and magnesium; also contains antioxidants and has natural anti-inflammatory properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarrot\u003c\/strong\u003e — an excellent source of beta carotene (converted to vitamin A), biotin, vitamins B6 and K1, and potassium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpinach\u003c\/strong\u003e — a nutrient-dense leafy green providing vitamins A, B2, B6, B9, C, E and K1, as well as iron, magnesium and calcium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBee pollen\u003c\/strong\u003e — contains over 250 biologically active components; rich in minerals and antioxidants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpirulina with DHA\u003c\/strong\u003e — a specially cultivated algae with near-complete B-vitamin coverage, all 9 essential amino acids, and 85–95% digestibility; contains phycocyanin, a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytochemical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural red clay\u003c\/strong\u003e — deep-ocean pelagic clay that is exceptionally mineral-rich and high in trace elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePapaya\u003c\/strong\u003e — included for its additional nutritional contribution to the overall formula\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSupporting natural colour and condition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral ingredients in this formula — particularly those rich in carotenoids such as carrot and spirulina — contribute natural colour-enhancing compounds. For keepers of species where colouration reflects overall health and condition, the quality of feeder insect nutrition is a factor that is often underestimated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the right size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReptile Systems Insect Food is available in multiple sizes to suit different usage levels. Smaller quantities work well for keepers maintaining a modest colony of feeders, while larger sizes are better suited to those running higher volumes of locusts, crickets, or other insects on an ongoing basis. Select your preferred size from the options above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed consistently, this formula gives you confidence that every insect offered to your animal is contributing positively to their diet — not simply providing empty calories. It is the logical starting point for any keeper who takes supplementation seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"10g","offer_id":54176684278097,"sku":"VRV030","price":0.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"60g","offer_id":54176684310865,"sku":"VRV031","price":5.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"170g","offer_id":54176684343633,"sku":"VRV033","price":10.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"700g","offer_id":54176684376401,"sku":"VRV035","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/reptile-systems-insect-food","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
