Nekton MSA Powder Calcium/Mineral Supplement: 40 Gram
A special calcium supplement plus other macro and vital trace elements boosted by the hormone (mistakenly called a vitamin) D3 to help rear young animals and treat calcium deficiencies. Mineral elements are extremely important for maintaining good health, top stamina and uninterrupted reproduction. The most important factor, whether in respect to diets or food supplements, is not only the number of individual substances but, above all, their well-balanced and well-matched composition. The mineral elements frequently operate in balanced pairs or in small groups. For example, it is a comparatively well-known fact that the nutritional role of calcium (Ca) is closely related to that of phosphorus (P) and in correlation to one another can prevent rickets and osteomalacia. Because of this, a large proportion of D3 has been added to NEKTON-MSA to help attune the Calcium-Phosphorus ratio to the requirements of each individual companion bird. By means of D3, calcium and phosphorus are better deposited in the animal's bones, thus achieving full benefit of the mineral supply.
We recommend NEKTON-MSA primarily for animals during egg-laying or birds diagnosed by an Avian Veterinarian as calcium/mineral deficient. Other species of birds who are eating a diet like the one we recommend in our "Diet and Nutrition" articles on our Educational Articles page at this link: Diet and Nutrition - do NOT need any further supplementation.
We recommend this supplement NOT be used as the manufacturer directs. We recommend punching a number of holes in the foil seal and then sprinkling a small amount (similarly to adding salt to your food) onto something your bird loves to eat! Moist foods are an especially good place to add the supplement - just be sure to take any moist foods away from your bird within 2 hours or less.
