| There is a big difference in forms of calcium.
Nearly all are rock forms of calcium, in other words, its simply ground
up rock! It is hard to get people to understand how difficult it is for
animals to absorb ground up rocks... calcium carbonate is the worst... only
two percent of it is absorbed. Calcium citrate is a little better but not
much.
Calcium derived from rock creates several problems within the body. Among them are the following: The kidneys try to eliminate the calcium that is not assimilated and it over works them. The blood becomes saturated with it but because the body does not recognize it as calcium in its molecular structure, it deposits it on the joints as bone spurs.
So what is the answer? Where do animals get calcium? It is the plants job to absorb the mineral form of calcium and change the molecular structure of the calcium molecule so that animal’s bodies can absorb it. Man has been able to change the molecule somewhat by a process called chelated and has got the absorption rate up to seventeen percent, but still can't do what nature does.
Animals don't get their calcium from licking rocks or chewing them up. They get it from eating the stomach of the animals they kill, which of course is filled with vegetation. Our reptiles in theory should be able to get all their calcium needs through the greens we feed them, but the problem is the land the greens are grown on are depleted of nutrients and have been for fifty years. Nothing has been put back in the soil, but rather chemicals are used that only stimulate plant growth. An example of what I'm saying is this: A major university did studies on several vegetables. They tested spinach and couldn't find a trace of iron!
Dandelions are one of the many plants that are high in calcium. I recommend feeding reptiles greens, such as dandelions that grow in our lawns (providing you have not sprayed). Up mountains and canyons is another great source. Put them in a plastic bag and then in the fridge. Many varieties keep very well. Of course they're not available in the winter, so then I use Absolute Calcium.
Absolute Calcium is a totally organic calcium. Because it is plant based it is 100 percent assimilated. I have also added organic silica which is what gives elasticity to the skin. The eggs of reptiles are very high in silica and it’s hard to come by except in the spring when all the new vegetation, as small sprouts, are quite high in silica. But as the plants grow, they lose most of the silica. With my calcium, you will notice a more complete shed; that is a full body shed instead of the tail shedding one week and the head another week and then the back and so on. There are some reptiles that become calcium deficient and will not respond to any form, including liquid calcium, but respond quickly to my product.
The people here in the U.S. are very medical minded and are slow to change their mind set. But the many breeders that have used Absolute Calcium have totally reversed their pet's calcium deficiency and are recommending it to every one they talk to. Does all this ring true?
