That's a lot of pills, even at 1,000 IU per.

I just checked and 8000 IU seems to be juuust about 200 micrograms :) Turns out that the pills are ludicrously big?

I believe this is due to vitamin absorption, our body requires fat to absorb certain vitamins. Some are fat soluble, some are water soluble. Just depends.
