Sunmira Vitamin D softgel capsules are meant to be swallowed whole, not chewed or sucked, because the soft outer covering is designed to release the medicine properly in your stomach. It is best to take the capsule with a glass of water, preferably after a meal that contains some fat (like milk, curd, nuts, or regular food), as this helps your body absorb vitamin D better. Since your dose is once a week, try to take it on the same day each week so you do not forget. There is no strict time of day, but taking it after a main meal is a good habit. Avoid taking more than the prescribed dose, as too much vitamin D can be harmful over time. If you have any other medical conditions or are taking other supplements, it is a good idea to inform your doctor to ensure safe use.
