Natural Aquarium Vital? - Aquarium Advice

What do you all think of "Natural Aquarium Vital"?

Is this a viable alternative to CO2 injection for a lightly planted low light tank?
Right now I have 1.5 watts per gallon an no artificial introduction of CO2.
I have four plants which are doing fine (except the Amazon Sword which the LFS guy told me was a low light plant and it turns out not so much)

I think about a DIY CO2 system but sometimes I don't think it is worth the trouble as my plants seem fine.

I wonder if this Aquarium Vital might be a good compromise.

If you makes claims, they need to be supported.
This product has never done this.
It is in no way like Excel from Seachem.

I love reading Mr. Barr's stuff. In no way can you be confused about where he stands on any issue.

There are really only two good methods of introducing carbon into a tank right now. Either injecting CO2 (DIY or Pressurized) or Flourish Excel.
