LOL Good question though.
Our quagmire was to find it in a powder pill to melt form due to need for G tube feed as oil form not so good on the hardware.
We are coupon clipping folks so use that and keep an eye out such as Fred Meyer aka Krogers for Vitamen sales buy one get on free.
But you do bring up an excellant point/question.
FYI .. I found 2K milligram Vit D3’s at CVS,
and they’re very dissolvable .. white, kinda
chalky. They fall apart in my mouth if I don’t
swallow them quick enough.
