Since you seem to be an expert: What about different forms of vit D? I vaguely remember discussions about pills not being absorbed well. Also I remember people talking that vit D intervention fails to do anything besides raising the blood levels, indicating that things might be more complex. I'm interested in the topic, but never really dived into it.

There are only two forms, the plant/mushroom form (D2) and animal (D3) form.
As with anything fat-soluble it's wise to take it as part of a meal that includes plenty of fat.
The problem with most studies is, surely in part because of this unfounded fear, they are underdosed. I don't have anything on hand, but I know there are clinics supervising megadose vitamin D protocols all over the world, but mostly in Germany and Latin America, that I'm aware of.
