d3 is generally going to be a gel cap. it is a fat soluble. its been a while since i read up on various forms of it, but d3 was the way to go at the time. if i recall, the active form from the supplement and sunlight has a half life of like 16 hours or so. liver converts to a form with a half life of like 2 weeks that is then converted in the kidneys and elsewhere to a hormone your body uses. tdlr verion: careful on dosage because it stays in your body and can build up overtime
