Vitamin D is oil soluble.

The Rx version is a gel cap. (D2)

Recently I have seen more supplement makers provide it in a gel cap as well. D3

I think it is better absorbed this way. I use a gel cap by NOW in fact.

For example... Aleve just came out with a gelcap version.
I find the OTC 220mg gelcap faster acting and lasting longer for me than the RX version which is 500mg tablet.
