Vitamins meet several requirements in turtles: on the one hand, they increase their resistance to infections and diseases, and on the other hand preventing the vitamin deficiency diseases that can occur in an unbalanced diet or when feeding with older food.
Young animals need significantly more vitamins in the growth phase than adult animals. In addition to vitamins, the supply of minerals is important, for example to enable healthy shell formation. A varied diet in combination with supplements of vitamins and minerals is therefore ideal for keeping turtles healthy through their long lives
