No: The only form of d to be taken orally is d3. Check the form of d that you are already taking.

Get 2 tests: If you haven't done so already, ask your doctor for 2 tests: 1) a bone density test. If you have normal bone density and you are in good health, you don't need to take supplemental calcium. A study last year showed that many people take calcium who don't need it. 2) a blood test for vit d level. Studies show many people have low levels and may need large doses of vit d to get back to normal.
