Gecko doesn't like Repashy Calcium Plus?

I bought Repashy Calcium Plus today and when I put a bowl in my Leopard gecko's tanks and dropped a couple meal worms in it she went after them and when she bit it she just spit it out. So I'm guessing she doesn't like the flavor of it. Has anyone's else's gecko declined this supplement? I'm thinking that everyday when I go to feed I'll feed it with the powder and if she spits it out. I'll just take it out and try again later. And eventually she just eat it. Just a thought. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Don't put the mealworms in a bowl of it. She'll probably opt to not eat it if she doesn't need all of that calcium because she's gonna get a bunch of powder with every bite, and nobody likes eating powder. Just dust them (I know mealworms don't hold it exceptionally well, but do what you can).

EDIT: I should note that this happened to me recently. When I feed mealworms, I put them in her dish with just a little bit of Repashy and shake them around to coat them. A couple days ago I put in a little too much, so when she went to eat the mealworms, she was getting loose powder too. She ate a few and then left them until I took the excess out; then she ate them all.

She may have been startled by a new taste or texture. If shes healthy and well fed she could also be picky. I've read some people say: persist until the gecko gets over being picky and is hungry enough to give it a try.
