Taking an oil-based vitamin D capsule with just water is *safe* and generally **effective**.
Here is the simple breakdown:
* *The Oil Inside is Enough:* Since the vitamin is already dissolved in oil (like cottonseed, olive, or MCT oil) inside the softgel, your body can absorb it without needing to eat a fatty meal at the exact same time. The carrier oil provides the necessary fat for absorption. * *Water is Fine:* You do not need to swallow it with milk or eat avocado with it. Water is perfectly fine for getting the pill down. * *The "With Food" Rule:* You often hear "take with food" because if you take a dry tablet on a totally empty stomach, you might miss out on absorption. But with **oil capsules**, the fat is already included in the pill.
*Bottom Line:* Pop the oil capsule with a glass of water. It’s safe, and your body will get what it needs.
If have eaten your meal and just take a bit of water to just take the pill, then you don't have any problem. There is a lot of fat in your stomach from the meal to dilute D.
I used to believe this. Then I intentionally took Vitamin D3 without any fat in my diet for 4 months. My labs still showed the same increase in levels of D as when I paired with fat. Anecdotal, sure. I just think its not a good thing to tell Americans to live optimally because these people arent even doing basic health habits. They will grab coffee and skip 8 months of vitamin D, because they cant find a fat to pair it with, which will cause more harm than not absorbing it optimally.

I was taking 3000 vitamin d like this one with water and my lab tests showed my vitamin deficiency has gone away
Then I think it works with water also
Blessings my dear Dr.
We love you Dr. Mandel

But my doctor never told me that. I have taken vitamin D many times…..always with water.

A slice of buttered bread or toast would be nice with it.
Thank you for telling us , how to take it
Taking it as a softgel with oil already inside doesn't help?
Planet Ayurveda Vitamin-D3 helps support calcium absorption.
Dr. Mandel can i take vit d with milk?
The only thing I’ve ever heard doing that is vitamin C
There's fat in there already. That's what the golden oil is inside the capsule.
How do you take it without water? Just chew it with your food 🤣
Wtf????i always drink itcwith water afterxthe meal without water just swallow?
I thought that’s why the put oil in those capsules
Protein shake?
I take mine with fish oil.
Milk?
A pure Haramda
Instructions unclear, now I'm FAT!

So, are we supposed to chew them?
