Supers are different from mealworms. They have different exoskeletons. I feed supers as my daily feeder. My beardies don't like crickets, Phoenix worms, or dubia. Supers are kinda fatty though so just feed more greens. Mine have never gotten sick though and are in pretty health. Feeding supers will be fine.

I have a 9-10 month old dragon that eats 10-20 super worms per day along with his daily salad. Hope that helps a little.
