Question What's the best cricket dusting powder?

My calcium+d3 powder from dartfrog.co.uk is coming to an end. What's the best dusting suppliment to get? I want one with vitamins in as well as calcium.

I hear HerpCare Cricket Dust is the best for white's but can only find it available on american websites. It contains:

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate, Dried Kelp, Choline Bitartrate, Ferrous Sulfate, beta-Carotene, Ascorbic Acid, Niacin, Manganous Oxide, Magnesium Oxide, Potassium Chloride, dl-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Calcium Pantothenate, Zinc Oxide, Vitamin B12 Supplement, BHT (a preservative), Folic Acid, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (a source of Vitamin K), Ethoxyquin (a preservative), Cholecalciferol (source of Vitamin D3), Vitamin A Acetate and Biotin.

Any similar ones available in the UK?
