I'm not convinced of the premise (gum arabic as an emulsifier), given that bile does the job for the rest of us. Can't hurt to try. I can only assure you of one thing: your vitamin D status will not improve unless you do something to improve it.

There are certain disorders that do make vitamin D absorption problematic. There are injections available.

> Vitamin D as cholecalciferol. Heard of this stuff?
Supplemental vitamin D should always be taken as cholecalciferol, also known as D3.

Or some natural source D3 (which would be cod liver oil stripped of some or all of the vitamin A, which can be toxic in overdose). But hey, if this emulsified stuff does the trick.....
