EarthPro-Ca is a premium, finely milled Calcium powder designed to complement the EarthPro product line, enhancing daily Calcium intake for reptiles.
Calcium plays a vital role in an animals body, being stored in bones and utilized in the bloodstream to support muscle activity.
The importance of Calcium for reptiles has been recognized since the early days of pet keeping. It remains a critical element in their care. Insufficient Calcium, whether due to lack of supply or absorption, can result in metabolic bone disease, a severe and often permanent condition where the body depletes Calcium from its own bones.
This deficiency often shows as deformed or rubbery bones, particularly in the legs or jaw. In severe instances, the reptile may become extremely weak, struggling to move due to compromised muscle function.
Yet, providing Calcium is just one aspect of the complex nutritional needs of reptiles. For Calcium to be effectively utilized, reptiles and amphibians require specific nutrients from their diet and environment. Access to proper UV lighting is essential for their bodies to synthesize vitamin D3, which aids in Calcium absorption.

Calcium is stored in an animals bones and is also released into the animals bloodstream for muscle function.
It has been known that calcium is essential for reptiles since we began keeping them as pets. In fact it is an indispensable tool in reptile keeping. A lack of supply or uptake of calcium, as we know, leads to a serious and mostly irreversible condition known as metabolic bone disease. This is where an animal loses the calcium content from its bones as the body desperately tries to find reserves from within its own body.
This manifests itself in bendy bones most often noticeable in the long bones of the legs or the jaw. In advanced cases, the animal becomes very weak due to impaired muscle function and may be unable to stand.
However, supplying calcium is only one part of the intricate web of reptile nutrition. In order for an animal to be able to use calcium at all, it must have access to the correct nutrients from its food and also its environment. This means that reptiles, amphibians and in fact many animals, need to have access to a source of UV lighting in order for its body to be able to obtain vitamin D3.
