These contain soybean oil and corn oil. Most people interested in consuming this much vitamin d, will likely hold out for a deal on a version with olive or coconut oil. I like the Doctor's Best and Sports Research brands but there are others as well.
I take 20,000 a day most days and remain towards the low end of normal, very far from any sort of toxicity. Most doctors that understand vitamin d seem to recommend at least 2000-5000 units per day now, some as high as 10,000. And that's just what they're willing to recommend when going against the previously standard daily dose of well under 1000. They make single pills this big for a reason.

This is D3. Not sure if that makes a difference. This is a high dose, though. I sometimes get 5000IU but I cut them in half. Not sure if you can cut softgels.
Both Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic refer to vitamin supplements as D, but mean D3. See this article from Massachusetts General Hospital, where the terms Vitamin D and Vitamin D3 are both used interchangeably: https://www.massgeneral.org/news/...depression

Also, splitting pills is a good way to save on vitamin/medicine cost. Of course, one cannot split capsules and softgels. Some medications have a coating to provide controlled release, one should not split those, either.
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin. This means if you take too much it will get stored in your body. For non fat soluble vitamins any excess will get flushed out your body. Watch Vitamania, very educational documentary.
Just get a vitamin D blood test done when you're at the doctor's office to see if you're deficient or not. No point in arguing if its too much or two little in forums since everyone's living conditions and sun exposure is different.
If you're deficient, your doctor will most likely prescribe D2 at 50,000 IU's per week for a month or two. D2 doesn't absorb as well as D3 but again everyone's different. If you test slightly below the mark (<30ng/mL) then you can probably boost with D3 at 1000IU-2000IU daily without any complications. I tested at 9.3ng/mL and went on weekly high dose (50,000IU) D2 for a few months and afterwards supplemented with D3 2000IU daily.
Just get tested and stop guessing if you need it or not.
I got a bit of insight shopping at the (now defunct) dollar store. When the new tomato crop is due to arrive they had great deals on canned tomato products (even institutional size cans for $1, later $3) that were last years crop. (Notice the recent tomato products listed here and the prego sauce commented on as a deal at ralphs 16-24oz for $1.30). Same for vitamins - when the dark winter season is over and they might expire before d3 is needed for next winter they had the same way over RDA d3 for sale, so be careful. There's way too much "generalized" (aka bad) advice regarding d3 because so many can get adequate sunlight in the lower lattitude areas and some in the north might be defficient.
A normal vitamin d level is 30 to 100. My vitamin d level was 30 in July. I started taking 4,000 IU and my level went to 53.
My understanding is it doesn't matter where you live, it's how much sunlight you are exposed to. If you don't go outside much, if you wear sunscreen, if you have dark skin, if you live in the north, if you don't eat a lot of fish then you are probably deficient. About 40% of Americans are Vitamin d deficient.
Someone in my family was experiencing fatigue, muscle weakness, pain, inflammation and was having difficulty walking. Turned out her vitamin d level was 8. Within a week of taking vitamin d she was able to walk and her brain fog lifted. If you know someone with these symptoms ask if they had a vitamin d test. You might end up being someone's hero!

Most doctors will give you a once-a-week supplement of around 25k. 20k a day is asinine, but if you believe it helps, go for it; I'm sure you know more than the doctor.

Those oil are not that bad considering olive oil used in softgels is probably similarly refined to avoid going rancid, most people pay more without really trying and seeing any issues with cheaper versions, unless it has known carcinogens on does not follow a utc standard like certification they are mostly the same given you care about D3 and not the type of fat.
Afaik for the product here, Costco is cheaper so I'll skip.

does someone in arizona need this? probably not. However its probably the most common dosage in the northeast and PNW.
IIRC you can take like 7500-10k iu a day without toxicity. just generally do not need that much if not deficient.
i take the 5000iu with k2 from now plus whatever is in my multivitamin and my labs are always good.
