Product Information

Swell Calcium Powder with Vitamin D3 can be used on vegetation or livefood in your reptile’s food bowl. For livefood, place a small amount in a bag with the insects, gently shake to coat them fully, and offer immediately.

Although diet is the best way to get calcium, calcium supplements may be an option if your diet falls short. Steadman E, Raisch DW, Bennett CL, Esterly JS, Becker T, Postelnick M, McKoy JM, Trifilio S, Yarnold PR, Scheetz MH.

Calcium carbonate is also used in flue-gas desulfurization applications eliminating harmful SO 2 and NO 2 emissions from coal and other fossil fuels burnt in large fossil fuel power stations.

This is one reason that some pool operators prefer borate over bicarbonate as the primary pH buffer, and avoid the use of pool chemicals containing calcium. Calcium deficiency can cause low growth rates, bone development problems, reduced milk yield, displaced abomasum’s and milk fever. Calcination of limestone using charcoal fires to produce quicklime has been practiced since antiquity by cultures all over the world. It is used in some soy milk and almond milk products as a source of dietary calcium; at least one study suggests that calcium carbonate might be as bioavailable as the calcium in cow's milk.Calcium carbonate is poorly soluble in pure water (47 mg/L at normal atmospheric CO 2 partial pressure as shown below). Calcium carbonate is also indicated for use in treating hyperphosphatemia seen in chronic kidney disease, as a phosphate binder, as a way of treating overdose by causing urinary alkalization, and as a prophylactic treatment in pregnant patients before birth to prevent aspiration pneumonitis. The temperature at which limestone yields calcium oxide is usually given as 825 °C, but stating an absolute threshold is misleading. For individuals who are lactose intolerant or vegan, it can be difficult to maintain calcium levels. Beyond age and form of calcium carbonate, calcium absorption can be affected by the dose given, stomach pH, patient size, estrogen status, vitamin D level, and genetic polymorphisms.
