Interventions/Control_1

Eligible study participants will be equally divided into three groups (Group I: tablet, Group II: soft gel capsule, Group III: highly dispersible capsule). Each group will take a single tablet (1,000 IU) of their assigned vitamin D supplement once daily after dinner for one week. Blood sampling (4 mL) will be conducted before and after supplementation to measure serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels. This comparative trial among the three groups will be used to identify the dosage form with the highest absorption efficiency. Allocation will be performed as follows: after obtaining consent by the principal investigator, research associates will confirm eligibility, register participants, and assign them to Group I, Group II, or Group III in that order.

Interventions/Control_2

Eligible study participants will be equally divided into three groups (Group I: tablet, Group II: soft gel capsule, Group III: highly dispersible capsule). Each group will take a single tablet (1,000 IU) of their assigned vitamin D supplement once daily after dinner for one week. Blood sampling (4 mL) will be conducted before and after supplementation to measure serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels. This comparative trial among the three groups will be used to identify the dosage form with the highest absorption efficiency. Allocation will be performed as follows: after obtaining consent by the principal investigator, research associates will confirm eligibility, register participants, and assign them to Group I, Group II, or Group III in that order.

Interventions/Control_3
