Isopop Calcium Bar

The Isopop Calcium Bar is made with pure, food-grade Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) mixed with a nutritional powder. Each ingredient in this bar serves a specific purpose to support your isopods' growth, shell health, and vibrant colours. The bar consists of 10 pieces that can easily be broken off, allowing you to control how much you feed your isopods.

Calcium Carbonate: This is essential for isopods to build and maintain their exoskeletons.

• Builds sturdy shells: Isopods are land-based crustaceans. They require calcium to harden their calcified exoskeletons.
• Supports successful moulting: A steady calcium supply supports healthy moulting. Poor moulting can contribute to colony losses.
• Supports breeding: Gravid females use substantial amounts of calcium to produce healthy broods in their marsupium (brood pouch).

Spirulina: An excellent source of protein, minerals, and fatty acids that assists with immune function and isopod growth.

• High in protein: Contains up to 70% easily digestible plant protein. This helps fuel growth in mancae (baby isopods).
• Contains essential fatty acids: Provides lipids that assist with cellular repair and healthy shedding cycles.
• Contains trace minerals: Delivers bioavailable iron, potassium, and magnesium.

Beetroot: An excellent source of energy and antioxidants, supporting colony growth and stabilisation.

• Provides energy: Assists isopods throughout their life stages, whether fuelling growth in mancae or supporting cellular repair in older or injured isopods.
• Antioxidant support: Beetroot contains betalains. These compounds protect cells from oxidative damage and support long-term colony health.
