Yes, D3 is OTC... pick a capsule version, or liquid so it is absorbed better. (I don't think the dry ones are absorbed as well)

There are many many available now:

If you know your D3 level, use 1000 IU / 10ng increase to figure out your dose. The research says most people can take 2000IU safely without a test. But if you don't get any sun at all, I'd start with the newer 5000IU daily.

Both hubby and I use the 5000IU in fall/winter/spring and none in summer.
