Vitamize is Exo Terra's multivitamin powder for reptiles and amphibians, dusted over greens or used to coat live insects before feeding. It covers the vitamin and trace-element gaps a captive diet leaves. It is not a calcium supplement and is not meant to be used on its own — Exo Terra's own directions mix it 1:1 with a calcium or calcium + D3 powder. It also carries vitamin D3, so if you are already dosing D3 from another product, do not stack the two. Fat-soluble vitamins accumulate, and over-supplementing does real harm.
One 70g tub (Exo Terra item PT1861). The brand has since dropped the Vitamize name and lists this simply as Multi Vitamin, so search that if you are cross-checking on their site. For liquid supplements instead see our Liquid Calcium + Magnesium and Electrolyte + Vitamin D3; the rest of the range is in our Exo Terra collection.

Guaranteed Analysis
North American formulation: crude protein (min) 14.0%, crude fat (min) 1.2%, crude fibre (max) 8.0%, moisture (max) 12.0%, ash (max) 9.0%, calcium 4.4–4.6%. European formulation: protein 20%, oils and fats 1.2%, fibre 4%, ash 9%, copper (as copper sulphate) 2.5mg/kg, vitamin D3 22,000 IU/kg, vitamin E 100mg/kg. Exo Terra publishes both and the two differ, so read the panel on the tub you receive rather than assuming one.
Feeding Guide
Vegetables and fruit: blend half a tablespoon of Multi Vitamin powder with half a tablespoon of an Exo Terra calcium or calcium + D3 powder per 500g of mixed vegetables and fruit. Live insects: mix the two powders 1:1 in a container, add the insects, cover and shake gently until they are coated, then feed straight away. Store in a cool, dry place after opening.
