Has anyone used this product: https://www.amazon.ca/Carnivorous-Plant ... B00HVTVEB2
It's sold through Amazon and I was thinking of ordering a bottle for my flytraps to give them a bit of a boost as they wake up from dormancy.

Somehow I doubt it's actually good for them. Actual bugs are probably safer.

Sorry for vanishing. Life happened. Might vanish again.

That seems to be a very dilute fertilizer, but I still wouldn't soil fertilize your plants with it. It's probably fine as a foliar feed though there's not much point in fertilizing CPs that are kept outdoors since they can catch their own food.

NPK 123 is too weak.

Just to clarify, I was intending to use the fertilizer as a foliar spray, highly diluted, just to give my flytraps a bit of a boost until they can catch food on their own. I'll do some more investigating on the matter.

Use Maxsea diluted 1/4 teaspoon to 1 gallon distilled water as a foliar spray. One bottle of Maxsea will last you a long time if you only fertilize carnivorous plants with it.
