Answer
Hello Ashton,

How large is your sulcata tortoise, do you have any pictures of it?
Feeding just leafy greens wont be enough to maintain the shell & calcium levels, unfortunately.
What other greens & foods do you feed?
You can use regular calcium powder on her greens & any other foods you use.  You should be able to find a regular calcium powder at most petstores.  
Are you using a UVB light also?  If not, it is highly recommended to use one.  The best two tube bulbs are either the Reptisun 10 or the Arcadia D3 12% that use a regular T8 light fixture.
There are also High Output tube bulbs by both brands too that are T5 light fixtures you could consider that are more intense.
