As a fat soluble vitamin, Vitamin D3 is best absorbed in a natural food oil base. Prairie Naturals has selected the finest organic and virgin cold-pressed olive oil as the oil base in our newest Vitamin D3 Drops supplement. Because Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is more potent and readily utilized by the body, it is the preferred form recommended by nutritional researchers and physicians. This new, easy-to-use dosage form in drops is also ideal for topical (applied to skin) application. Topical use of Vitamin D oil is recommended for a variety of skin conditions including psoriasis and skin aging due to overexposure to sunlight.

FAQ
Q: How do I get a drop out of the bottle?
A: To get a drop from the bottle, tilt it as if drinking from a cup and gently roll it to release trapped air. Alternatively, turn the bottle upside down, look for the small hole between the circles on the orifice reducer, then tip the bottle for 10 seconds for a drop. If this doesn't work, you have the option to return the bottle to the store for a credit or replacement, depending on their policy.
