Yup, it's got all of that. It's truly bioactive. We believe the chameleon that died passed away because of a failure to thrive-- according to the source, she was noticeably smaller than her sister and hadn't been growing as well. Pygmy chams are pretty delicate as a rule and these guys were less than two months old. Between the stress of the move to my house, the shock of the new, larger viv (they'd been kept in a smaller enclosure with other hatchlings prior to moving in with me), and her overall smallness, we think it was just stress/shock that killed her.

That said, I don't know for sure.
