I would recommend getting some calcium powder without D3 in it.
Go to the nearest pet store that sells stuff for reptiles and look for the Zoo Med reptile calcium power without D3.
Minerall lacks the sufficient calcium that your cham requires. and should be used maybe once or twice a month.
Calcium deficiency causes alot of problems, including MBD (Metabolic Bone Disease) which can prevent them from walking and possibly kill them if not treated properly.

Will the tongue shoot out all the way (several inches) or does it only come out an inch or two?
IMHO you should be dusting with a phosphorous-free calcium powder at most feedings and it wouldn't hurt to use a vitamin powder with a beta carotene source of vitamin A twice a month.
Does your chameleon have a UVB light or is it exposed to direct sunlight? (The UVB/sunlight should not pass through glass or plastic.)
