Dry vitamins vs. other....?
I'm shopping around for the best prices on vitamins and I am wondering if there is a rule of thumb to follow when making sure what you are purchasing is the "dry" form.
I believe (and please set me straight if I am incorrect!) that if you order a capsule or tablet then that is better than a softgel. Capsule/tablet = dry and softgel = fat soluable. Is it this simple or am I oversimplifying things?

DRY to us SIMPLY MEANS IT'S NOT PACKED IN OIL! (Why? Because we malabsorb 80% of FAT ... OIL = FAT = 80% of your vite down the toilet.
D and E are very commonly prepared this way. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CAPSULE ... OR THE CAP .... OR WHATEVER IS ON THE OUTSIDE!

Most do indicate DRY on the label but if it's comes in a 1 piece sealed caplet type pill and you don't see powder in it .... it's most likely oil based. Look here
Here is a picture to look at .... there are 2 pills here that might not be good for us ...

It's just NOT oil, as far as being tablet or capsule. Capsule is two pieces with powder. SOFTGEL is the footballs Tom has shown. We don't do those.
What's inside counts, tho. Finding a really great deal on DRY beta carotene is the same as buying empty capsules. You need retinol.
The D has to be D3.
The E has to be d-alpha tocopherol succinate.
K1, K2, selenium, Co Q 10 all have to be dry.
All of the fat solubles have to be delivered to you in a WATER soluble way. I don't use the word water miscible. It's not accurate, because the wrong forms can be made water miscible.
