 Sunshine in a bottle?

I would like to ask the opinion of y’all on a product made by T-rex. I have had a customer ask for it, but I have never heard of it, and with what it claims, I wouldn’t trust it yet. It is called solar drops, and is touted as liquid UVB. Had anyone tried it, and what is your opinion of it? I am posting this message on several forums for reptiles that require UVB light, I hope I am not stepping over any boundaries or restrictions. If I am, or if you would like to discuss this product privately, please feel free to PM me. Thanks for your opinion,
Richard

There is no evidence that uros can absorb oral D3. There is evidence that other herbivorous lizards (iguana iguana) canNOT process oral D3 and require exposure to an appropriate UVB source. I would err on the side of caution and avoid the drops. Make a good sun cage or provide a quality UVB lamp (or both!) instead.
