Taking Calcium without D supplementation

I want to take vitamin D because my levels are very low, but it's such a huge capsule I can hardly swallow it. Are there any smaller capsules that you'd recommend?
I have trouble swallowing tablets.

@grrranny I take 1,000i.u. vitamin D in gelcap form. It is very small and easy to swallow. You can even get D drops or D gummies.

I have difficulty swallowing large pills (and certain foods too), but I can do it without a problem if I take a mouthful of water with pill in mouth, then swallow with my head down (as in looking at the floor). A friend’s nurse taught her that trick and I have used it after hearing about it from her.
