Supplementing reptiles is a very delicate thing; each species has its own unique requirements. Your lizards need supplements that are tailored specifically to them. There are human requirements of certain vitamins and minerals that would be toxic to your lizards, therefore, even if the ingredients sound "ok", the levels are more than likely to be way off base for you reptiles, and I would strongly recommend not using that if you want them to live long, full, and healthy lives.
