But make sure you take the best one:
Nothing metabolizes D like oil. MCT or Olive is best. Taking before oily foods like salmon increases absorption even more.

Ping!.....................
Bloodwork shows my D level in the 80’s and I’m feeling pretty darn good.
D3, Zinc, and C since Covid started. Never vax’d and never sick.
I take it daily. Doctor was going to tell me about K2 and was surprised when I said I already take it.
PING!

My bride and I -- this old guy is 77, and avoids telling his wife's age -- blithely coasted through the mania and media hysteria of the Covid years, in part as we regularly take sun while gardening and beach going, and with D among the supplements we've taken for years. No sniffles, cold flu or the dreaded "take one for the team" BS mung which washed over this nation for some time.
Last doctor visit showed my D count to be very low. Since then I’ve been taking about 4000iu a day and feel much better. And with more energy. This article is legit.

Pinoresinol of olive oil decreases vitamin D intestinal absorption
The presence of polyphenols in the olive oil supplemented with DHA inhibited vitamin D postprandial response in rats (-25%, p<0.05). Similar results were obtained with a mix of the 3 polyphenols delivered to Caco-2 cells. However, this inhibitory effect was due to the presence of pinoresinol only.

Interesting. I see Bluebonnet uses MCT oil, not olive oil like many other brands. Perhaps this is why.
I was feeling lethargic and lack energy last winter when I took my annual physical with my PA.
She tested out my Vitamin D level and found my level at 6,
and immediately prescribed Vitamin D for me to take.
My understanding through reading is that K2 enhances the absorption of Vitamin D, making it more effective.
I was aware of Vitamin D possible issues during the winter time
but didn't realize the need for sunshine in areas north of the Mason-Dixon line
since we spend most of the winter time indoors.
To be healthy, take off your clothes and get outdoors in the mid day sun ;-)
I take Vitamin D3 + K2 every single day.
Lots of osteoporosis in my family - just had a scan and there is a .8% chance that I will break my hip bones in the next 10 years so there may be something to it.
Sister had her bloodwork done for Vitamin D and it came back as 0%. Doctor immediately put her on daily infusions - wasn’t working so now she has the infusions (at home) twice a day.
Low levels of D have also been linked to cancers.
My one regret with Covid was getting on that bandwagon too late. Been doing it ever since, with the addition of an aspirin a day — and feel wonderful. I still get sick, but almost everything I catch is twenty-fours or less instead of the “laid up for a week” usual.
I had been feeling ‘ho hum’ lately, lethargic and just not wanting to do much. My dr ran some bloodwork and found I was quite Vitamin D deficient. He prescribed 50,000 units/1 per week and in about 3 days I was almost giddy with happiness, back to my old self. You can get smaller doses over the counter if need be.
