Vit-All is an exceptional insect and rodent gut-load for a litany of scientific reasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough extensive research and development, we discovered that dusting vitamins onto prey insects or rodents isn't fully effective because several essential ingredients, such as beta carotene, don't work well in a dust form. The beadlet required to keep beta carotene stable when exposed to oxygen is far too large to stick to any feeder prey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also learned that many species of reptile are sensitive to excess amount of synthetic vitamin A, something commonly found in most other reptile vitamin supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally we also learned that vitamins and minerals, when packaged together, degrade each other over a short period of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, we package Vit-All and Miner-All separately to preserve the integrity of both products. We created Vit-All as a separate product to work with Miner-All in forming an extremely effective diet supplementation regiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVit-All was developed after tremendous research into the vitamins and amino acids essential to the well being of all reptiles and amphibians. Interestingly, we discovered that the best delivery method was to use Vit-All as a gut-load for feeder insects and rodents, not as a dusting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeeder insects raised in captivity are essentially sterile and of reduced nutritional value. This is where Vit-All saves the day!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeeder prey, both insects and rodents, relish the fresh ingredients in Vit-All. You'll likely even see crickets frothing at the mouth while they consume it...literally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key is that vitamins consumed from a dusted prey item are not nearly as absorbable as vitamins consumed from eating a prey item that consumed the vitamins ahead of time. Did you follow that? It's an amazing concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to get a natural source of Vitamin A, the beta carotene in Vit-All is freshly activated for 24 hours due to the unique addition of water to melt the lipid (fat cell) off the beta carotene beadlet that preserves its freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeta carotene builds immunity, and is a powerful antioxidant that improves immune function and promotes mucous membrane health which helps reduce upper respiratory infections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, dietary intake of beta carotene can enhance cell-mediated immune responses. Gut loading insects and rodents is the best way to introduce the proper amount of vitamins to all reptiles and amphibians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a balanced diet, Vit-All is recommended for use in combination with our Miner-All calcium and mineral powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eShake can to blend ingredients properly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEEDER INSECTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMix approximately one teaspoon of dry VIT-ALL with one teaspoon of water, and let stand for 10 minutes.
