I've never heard of the stuff. Best way I know of for igs (or anyone) to absorb calcium is to get plenty of natural sunlight. Since its summer, that should be possible now. If you don't have an outdoor cage or don't have all day to sit with your iguana outside, a UVB bulb is the next best thing. Zoomed's ReptiSun 5.0 or the Iguana Light 5.0 are both good and keep my ig absorbing his calcium all winter long. (All year long, really, since I can't do an outdoor cage.)

It is generally accepted that D3 delivered orally in iguanas has no effect and is basically useless. If you excuse the term its just so much Snake Oil! Nothing replaces a good UVB light or real sunlight, no matter how much they want your money.
