My desk is cluttered and I just found this thing on it. I'm worried it's some egg from a insect. It's extremely hard tho I try as hard as I can, but I can't squish it with my fingers. It's mostly see through which doesn't seem bug like. Looks more like a pill or a maybe a stone from some jewelry. But don't take any pills like this or have any jewelry with that color stone that anyone in the house wears really

Boosting vitamin d increases immune defense. Good for warding off cold and flu in climates that don't get enough sunlight.

OTOH, in me, it also increased kidney stone production. :( So while I dodged the cold, flu and covid, I also had 6 kidney stones.

I was actually asking about the teeny tiny gelcaps you referred? I have never seen any even close to that size! Usually they are somewhat larger. I just found this page with some cool info, https://www.trustar-pharma.com/info/softgel-sizes-the-ultimate-guide-37148451.html

Sorry to hear about your kidney stones! That does not sound super fun!
