So I got my test results back from blood work and my vitamin d levels are extremely low I was hoping someone could suggest a gummy or chew in this vitamin.

Ask your surgeon. If they are very low the doctor will often prescribe a high dose.

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

My vit Ds are really small, no trouble to swallow. Make sure you calcium contains vit d as well.

Do you need chewables? I've been taking these -- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004N8TTBQ/ -- they're super small and easy to swallow. I started out taking two a day when my D was super low but now my D is awesome so I'm doing one a day.

How much does your doc say you should be taking a day?

Mine was low and he had me take an injection of Vit D to get it boosted up, then I started supplements.

Be careful of prescription D. Usually it is D2, which won't do you much good. D3 is absorbed much better.

I don't think they have any decent gummy or chewables. What you want is D3, which is absorbed better. The standard dose is 400iu that is included with Calcium or multi's. You can get 1000 iu of D3 at Walmart. They are pills, and they're small, so you can swallow them. Another option are patches from patchMD.com

Thanks for the options I'll start looking into them. I want to avoid pills unless they are small and easy to swallow
