Is taking Vitamin D3 on an empty stomach effective?

Hello. I'm doing a 18:6 Intermittent fasting routine and was wondering if taking Vitamin D3 on an empty stomach is still effective? I take them in a gel capsule form.

I've read 30% more with food, but haven't found anything to back that up. /u/misteryouaresodumb, do you know % D absorbed with food vs without?
u/MisterYouAreSoDumb
That's a very complex answer. It's hard to give a single % that would be scientifically valid. I can say it still absorbs without food in a practical sense. I take 5,000iu every morning, and I fast till the evening. So perhaps I am only getting the equivalent of 3,000iu because of the fasting, but it works for my levels.
