Is it effective to pop open a Vitamin D softgel capsule and apply the d3 oil that was inside topically?

[CHEESEHEAD69]

I have vitamin d3 10000 IU softgel capsules and I was wondering if it would be effective or preferable to pop the capsule and rub the oil on parts of my skins? Is this safe? Is it effective? thanks

I do exactly this, on the inside of my wrist. It seems more natural than one massive 10000 digested dose. I can't see why it wouldn't be effective.

if it's in olive oil, why not just take it orally?

Is it real olive oil? Does the supplier even know?

I think Ray said you get about 20% when you apply it to skin. And it doesn't go through the digestive system that way to be filtered. If I recall right Ray said the quality of vitamin E these days makes it a not so good supplement. I have reduced my dose because of that, but still use it.
