Out of curiosity, what do you find superior about the gel capsules? Better absorption, or just that they are more pleasant to take?
Considering that this is a 7+ month supply, personally I appreciate the longer shelf life of the tablet version. Since, I take them with food, the taste is not really a factor.
If we were talking about some large doses, like fish oil, I'd be all about gel capsules, but these D3 tablets are pretty small.
2,000iu is considered a high dose and 5,000iu is a very high dose. Vitamin D is fat soluble, not water soluble so you don't just pee out the extra. You should only take such doses if you are truly deficient and get regular blood work to gauge your levels to make sure you are not approaching vitamin D toxicity levels.

Thanks OP!
Just a note: those who are insufficient and especially deficient should be taking more than 2,000iu - in which case 7months supply is accurate
For those deficient or insufficient, a 5,000iu is desirable.
Otherwise, I've seen no difference in vitamin D supplements, whether they are in pill or gel format. From personal experience anyway.

Easier too take and soft gel don't look like the other 2 pills that I take that are small and white. My 90 soft gel ones I got in Dec are good until July 2027
Also I looked it up.
Soft gel and tablet vitamin D supplements have similar effectiveness, but soft gels may be more comfortable to swallow and better mask the taste. Soft gels may also be absorbed more quickly than tablets:
Swallowing
Soft gels are often oval-shaped and smoother than tablets, which can make them easier to swallow.
Taste
Soft gels can mask the taste of vitamin D better than tablets.
Absorption
Liquid ingredients in soft gels are absorbed more quickly than tablets because they don't have to break down in the stomach. This can be especially helpful for people with digestive issues.
Bioavailability
The liquid or semi-solid contents of soft gels can improve the bioavailability of the active ingredient.

I recently found out that Vitamin D supplements should always be taken with magnesium for better absorption. My next purchase will be a combo of the two as soon as I run out of my current batch..

FYI that Kirkland 600 count softgel, same strength as OP, currently on sale at Costco for $12.49 + tax with free shipping making it a much better deal per unit (if you're ok w Kirkland). This sale good through 1/20.
May be even less in-store, but I've not confirmed. Item 393914

Adults 19-70 years: 600 IU (15 mcg) per day
Adults over 70 years: 800 IU (20 mcg) per day
For deficiency:
1,000-4,000 IU per day is safe for most people
2,000-5,000 IU per day prescribed by some doctors for situations
For severe deficiency, doctors may prescribe up to 50,000 IU weekly for 6-8 weeks, but needs medical supervision.

Research shows that Vitamin D should be taken with K2 to transfer it to the bones where it is needed. Vitamin D can be better absorbed in the stomach when taking it with a bit of fat, such as a small piece of dark chocolate.

So no magnesium needed? I see Vitamin D with K2 as well as versions of it with both K2 and Magnesium as well as just with magnesium only sold on amazon. Not sure which is the best way to go..
