Two days isn't going to do harm. D3 is Vitamin D, necessary to the body's use of Calcium and hence healthy teeth and bones (Just like for humans). Look for products with low phosphorous levels (on the labeling of the product) since your beardie is getting a high-insect diet. Unfiltered sunlight daily is also good.
Dump a teaspoon or so of supplement in a baggie, add crickets and shake to coat. You can also get calcium-enriched gut load (or chicken mash, if you have a farm supply store handy) to feed crickets while you keep them on hand. (Don't give them standing water, they'll drown themselves. Give em a bit of apple or potato or some misted dragon greens)
I'm not familiar with the particular product you're using, so I can't comment on its merit.
