Vetark ACE High, 50g

ACE-High is a vitamin supplement which has been specially formulated to provide high levels of vitamins A, C & E, crucial in aiding animals such as fish, birds and reptiles through periods of stress and disease. The enhanced levels of vitamins A,C & E along with other vitamins and minerals including B1, B2, B6 & B12 have been proven to improve the health of animals.

Vitamins A and E are both involved in helping the body resist infection. Vitamin A is essential for healthy mucous membranes such as the mouth, lungs and gut, and vitamin E has been shown to boost the immune mechanism in some species. Vitamin C is used up very quickly by the body when it is under stress and therefore must be replaced.

Large lizards and chelonia (turtles and tortoises) in particular are known to require extra vitamin A. Runny nose syndrome in chelonia responds in some cases to supplementation with vitamins A, C & E. The classic terrapin problem of swollen eyes and pneumonia is a manifestation of vitamin A deficiency. Poor hatchability in chelonia (and other eggs) is also thought to be linked with vitamin A / E deficiency.
