Hi Mark & Donnie,
While using Livermol you would be better to just use DCP instead of Calci-D. While the extra vitamin D is not a major concern, it being an oil soluble vitamin does make it more difficult to easily excrete excessive amounts compared to water soluble vitamins such the B group vitamins.
Cheers, Tom

Hi Mark & Donnie,
Just a slightly heaped teaspoon of DCP will be sufficient for that amount of meat, and mixed in with the meat portion would be best.
I must admit I prefer DCP to other forms of calcium as it contains phosphorus which is essential along with calcium for strong bones, and while meat also contains phosphorus the quantities are insufficient to satisfy that requirement.
Cheers, Tom

hi genius you didn't say if I needed to add vitamin D & amount to give with the teaspoon of livermol & slightly heaped teaspoon DCP cheers No Mark, using Livamol as a supplement no vitamin D needs to be added to the mixture. Just add the DCP to the meat and thoroughly mix it in. Cheers, Tom
