Due to our modern lifestyle, we simply don’t get enough Vitamins D or K. Our food is depleted of essential nutrients and we don’t spend enough time outdoors – which is one of the main ways we get Vitamin D! It is an essential supplement for most people.
Although there are many vitamin DK supplements on the market, most are in a fat soluble form. Our bodies don’t digest and absorb fats efficiently, so many people end up having to take very high doses of Vitamin D supplements to maintain adequate levels. By making a fat soluble vitamin (like vitamins D and K) into a water soluble (powder) form, this increases absorption or bioavailability of the vitamins significantly, meaning you don’t need to take as much to meet your daily requirements. It also doesn’t require food for absorption so no need to take it with a meal.
Our ancestors spent the majority of their time outdoors. Their bodies produced vitamin D in response to the sunlight they received on their skin (specifically UVB rays from the sun). Today, however, we are quite literally – light deficient.
Today we spend 93% of our time indoors. Wild. Our windows and sunscreens also block UVB light. Wild. As a result, we are light deficient and consequently Vitamin D Deficient. Supplementing with Vitamin D&K has become one solution to avoid deficiency.
As we dove deeper and deeper on our mission to bring you the best, cleanest, most transparent supplements on the market we repeatedly ran into one thing – supplements have a lot of useless (sometimes toxic) fillers.
Well, we took all of them out, leaving behind only what you truly need: a small scoop, full of big good.
We 3rd Party test all of our supplements for Molds, Pesticides and Heavy metals and publish the data for you to look at. Check it out here.
The Fringe D&K Powder contains water-soluble algae forms of vitamin D. Traditional Vitamin D3 supplements are made from lanolin or sheep’s wool. This is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans as it is animal based and the process can be quite chemical. We’ve sourced our D3 from lichen – living organisms which consist of fungus combined with algae. Lichen makes D3 following exposure to UVB rays – just like us!
Fringe DK powder contains vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7, the most
bioavailable form of vitamin K. It is derived from the fermentation of Nattō, which
is plant-based and suitable for vegan diets.
This is a soluble fiber derived from chicory root. It helps to maintain accurate dosing with the product and is also a prebiotic resistant starch which has a positive effect on gut health!
Helps facilitate the solubility and bioavailability of vitamins D and K.
Helps dissolve, dilute, and accurately dose vitamins
This helps maintain accurate dosing and has added benefits of supporting blood sugar regulation, hormone balance, and mood regulation.
At Fringe, we are immensely proud of our whole crew, but one of the most crucial teams we have is our Scientific and Product Development Team. Comprised of three amazing female doctors, we are constantly in a state of bemused amazement at what Dr.s Evans, Kramer, and Newton are capable of.
These three superheros have a collective 60+ years in the nutrition and holistic healing space. They dive deep in the science and research surrounding all of our products and prioritize safety, transparency and simplicity for our product formulations. So much so that we can confidently say that we feel our products are among the best and most thoughtful on the market.
There is a long list of health problems and chronic diseases associated with vitamin DK deficiency, many of which can be helped by taking a vitamin DK supplement. Here are some evidence-based benefits for vitamin DK supplementation:
Mix 1 scoop daily (unless directed otherwise by your healthcare provider) with water or your beverage of choice. Stir well, drink up.
2500IU Fringe Water Soluble DK Powder is similar to taking approx. 5000 IU of an Oil Based DK Supplement.
There are two forms of vitamin D that are found in dietary supplements, vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is sourced mainly from animals, although lichen is a vegan source of D3. Vitamin D3 is the form made in humans following exposure to UVB light. In contrast, vitamin D2 is sourced from plants.
Vitamin D3 is largely recognized as being more “bioavailable”, meaning more of the vitamin that is ingested gets delivered to body tissues. Studies that directly compare the bioavailability of D3 to D2 show that vitamin D3 raises blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D more than vitamin D2, so it is preferable to choose a supplement containing vitamin D3. If you are vegan, choose a supplement that contains D3 sourced from lichen.
There are also two forms of vitamin K, vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and vitamin K2 (menaquinones). Vitamin K1 comes mainly from plants, while vitamin K2 is made by bacteria and is found in animal-based and fermented food. Vitamin K2 is further subdivided into MK-4 through MK-13. Each of these subgroups of vitamin K2 has a slightly different molecular structure. Dietary supplements usually include MK-4 or MK-7. MK-4 occurs naturally in foods including liver, butter, and cheese, while MK-7 is made through fermentation, with the best source being Japanese fermented soybeans (called Nattō). Studies have shown that vitamin MK-7 is more bioavailable than vitamin MK-4, so it is preferable to choose a supplement containing vitamin MK-7.
Multiple scientific studies show benefits from taking vitamin D supplements. These include: reduced incidence of viral infections, dental cavities, cancer, reduced symptoms of PCOS, increased bone mineral density, reduced risk of falling, reduced depressive symptoms, and more!

Many scientific studies also show amazing benefits of supplementing with vitamin K, including: decreased risk of bone fracture, improved bone mineralization and strength, reduced risk of developing diabetes, improved glycemic control, reduced inflammation, improved markers of cardiovascular disease, and more.

Yes! Fringe DK powder is water soluble, meaning it absorbs 2-4 times more than your traditional vitamin D capsule or dropper. That’s why our recommended dose is only 1-2 scoops per day – less is more.
Since our DK powder is water soluble, we only recommend taking 1-2 scoops per day, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider. We have 2,500 IU of vitamin D3 per scoop – which remember is equivalent to taking 2-3 times that much if it were in oil based form. 1-2 scoops should be plenty for most adults!
