Are the capsules clear with a white powder looking substance inside? I don't want the D3 in liquid vegetable oil.

Yes they are clear with a white power inside. If you have low vit d3 these will raise the levels very fast compared to some other brands.

The sticker on the bottle says so. But I just read the ingredients for the first time, and it also says it contains vegetable oil!

Frankly, I'm not sure what "emulsified" means beyond being in liquid form, which this product is. This has worked well for my wife for the past couple years and is very economical compared to other D3 supplements out there.

Thanks for your question. The expiration date on the current batch is January 2016. Olive oil is the highest quality oil for Vitamin D3. The majority of products contain soybean oil, which is inflammatory and is made with GMO soy (not good). Kurt - Young Life Research

They are your standard capsule size. they are also clear - I think they may be made of gelatin? You can also open the capsules easily if you wanted to dump the vitamin's contents in a smoothie or sprinkle over food. Hope that helps.

The capsule itself is made from a vegetable." (all natural ingredients) "You're not going to have to worry about taking fillers, harmful chemicals or animal by-products."

I'm going to guess that the capsules themselves are made out of some veggie substance? Not the contents within the capsules. You should ask the company that manufactures them to be sure - they've always been very helpful whenever I have contacted them in the past on unrelated ( to your question) matters.

It says on the label that it's concentrated by molecular distillation (which 2yrs ago everybody was saying was the best!) so there probably are some EEs. The top 2 Google (TM) hits are diametrically opposed on whether it actually matters: http://www.ascentahealth.com/health-science/science-articles/fish-oil-triglycerides-vs-ethyl-esters-as-nature-intended http://www.sciencebasedhealth.com/Fish-Oil-EE-vs-TG-omega-3s-which-is-better-W119.aspx The Ascenta website has a test you can do: you put 20ml of your fish oil in a styrofoam cup. EEs will leak through it in 10min, triglycerides won't. Tempted to do it, because now you've got me curious, but I wonder how many of these capsules I'll have to squeeze open to get 20ml? I picked these because I wanted buckets of DHA for my brain. I'd like to see some quantitative data: for instance, one of these supposedly has 500mg DHA, whereas maybe a triglyceride one only has 80. So if this DHA is only, say, half as bioavailable as the triglyceride, I'm getting 250mg from this one which is STILL better than 80. Also, even the EEs-are-bad articles seem to say it only actively harms people who have certain conditions or are taking certain other meds - though I admit I skimmed, because the whole "last year's Underdog's Super Energy Pill is this year's poison" thing gives me a fatal Out-of-Patience Error.

GYes, this is powder/granules. I have never used the liquid filled capsules to be able to compare the two.

It is not an ingredient. They changed the formula some time ago and it is vegetable capsules now.

There is off white powder inside the capsule. I don't know if it's all natural or not. I stop taking it anymore cuz it really make my mood swing and more hungry. I guess it's because I m too healthy and very sensitive to the unnatural stuffs.

They are capsules. About as long as most fish oil capsules only not as fat. For me, a lot easier to swallow than the fish oil capsule.

They aren't enteric coated, but from what I've read that's a good thing as they have the tendency to pass through undissolved. There is 300mg in each pill, 250mg is EPA+DHA (likely 166mg EPA, 83mg DHA) and 50mg other omega 3 fatty acids.

Honestly I don't know, I finished the bottle quite a while ago. I should have observed, but I did not. I have not re-ordered it either. I switched to Vit K tablets and taking D3 Drops. Interesting question. Sorry I can not help you.
