Question about Calcium with D3

Postby missmacabre » Sun Nov 20, 2011 7:01 pm

Does calcium with added D3 expire? I have a full container of it that's probably over a year old. Is it still ok to use?

Also, Onyxia eats about a tablespoon of food (thats what size portions I make up) so how much would I put on his food? Just sprinkle a little on top?

If it does expire it should have an expiry date on it. Check for one - I think most have them.

I only supplement a sprinkle on top every couple meals, that sounds about right.

if it was calcium, if you added to much they would just pass the extra calcium, but since it has d3, i think a sprinkle/light dusting is a pretty safe bet. :)
