There's a REALLY good thread on this from not all that long ago. The maker of the Repashy supplements even got in on the thread. Well worth searching for and reading.

Here is a great thread to look at: Repashy supplements

Having used both Dendrocare and Repashy, I would say they're comparable to each other. Repashy adds probiotics and other nutrients as well. I'd give both products "5 stars".

Well I got the calcium plus icb and it smells like banana powder! The finer powder coats the flies very well but I see some of the ingredients are not as fine as the others and remain in the bottom of the dusting cup. I hope this stuff works well.

Before I add flies, I kinda 'knock' the dust around in the cup a bit to break up the clumps. Hold your breath---it sends up a dust storm...

I am not talking about clumps...the large pieces are individual grains roughly the size of the ff heads that don't stick. But it really is amazing how the finer particles adhere to the flies!

I usually grind any supplements that have larger grains in a morter and pestle before I use it.

Same here. It helps with it sticking.

[MD_Frogger]

How much supplement would you guys say is "lost" after you grind it in the mortar and pestle? Maybe Richard or Mike can chime in on this thread and give everyone an update as to whether or not they will start carrying dendrocare again.

[Ed]

I use a glass morter and pestle and there is very little lost in the process. It results in a very even fine particle size.
