For Light & Strength
The difference
D3 doesn’t work on its own. It takes K2 and a dependable dose to turn intake into actual supply.
Comparison with typical products in each category. Individual products may differ.
Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, vitamin E protects cells from oxidative stress. Single-nutrient products cover only part of that.
MK-7 stays available longer than short-chain K2 forms. The all-trans form is the biologically active one, cis fractions contribute nothing.
RISE is a micro powder capsule. The MCT carrier means the fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed even without a fatty meal, with no liquid oil and no emulsifiers.
With drops, the dose depends on how carefully you count and how full the pipette is. One capsule is one dose.
A steady intake is easier to keep up day to day than occasional high doses.
Capsule shell made from plant cellulose, noticeably smaller than a standard capsule.
One capsule every two days, the pack lasts 120 days.
The formula
Three fat-soluble vitamins in a micro powder capsule, with no oils and no emulsifiers. Why we formulated RISE exactly this way.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin the skin produces in sunlight. It contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to normal muscle function.
Between October and April the sun sits too low in Germany for the skin to produce enough vitamin D on its own. With D3 we supply it in exactly the same form the body otherwise makes itself.
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that activates proteins which bind calcium. It contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
K2 is in RISE because of the D3: vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption of calcium, and vitamin K activates the proteins that bind it. We use MK-7 in its all-trans form because it stays available in the blood far longer than short-chain K2 forms.
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that embeds itself in the cell membrane. It contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
D3 and K2 are fat-soluble and sensitive to oxygen. Vitamin E protects them inside the capsule and counts as a nutrient in its own right. We use only the natural variant, of which the body takes up more than from the synthetic mixture.
Nutrients and ingredients
| Nutrients | per 1 capsule | % NRV* |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D3 | 50 µg = 2,000 IU | 1,000% |
| Vitamin K2 (MK-7) | 100 µg | 133% |
| Vitamin E | 8 mg | 67% |
*NRV = Nutrient Reference Values according to Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011
MCT-Öl-Pulver (mittelkettige Triglyceride aus Kokos), Kapselhülle: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (pflanzlich), D-α-Tocopherylacetat (Vitamin E), Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), Menachinon-7 (Vitamin K2, all-trans).
The capsule
D3 and K2 are fat soluble and need a carrier. The usual answers are oils with emulsifiers, or large capsules where tiny amounts of active ingredient are padded out with filler. Here MCT powder does that job, and the capsule stays small.
Your new daily routine
Vitamin D is the vitamin your skin makes from sunlight. Only that sunlight arrives less often than you might think: in winter the sun sits too low, in summer you are indoors or protected by sunscreen, and the further north you live, the less you get in general. RISE makes you independent of all that: a stable level. All year round.
One micro capsule with a main meal, that is all. D3 comes in the same form your skin produces in sunlight, K2 as MK-7 guides calcium to where it belongs, and vitamin E protects both from oxidation. The easiest start in the whole range: the smallest capsule we have.
Three weeks, and the capsule is a fixed part of the meal. Your liver converts vitamin D into 25(OH)D, the value a blood test measures. And that value now rises continuously, whether the sun is shining outside or not. You will not feel it directly, but you can see it: get tested now and watch the value climb.
After two months your level has reached its plateau, intake and use are now in balance. This is the state RISE is made for: bones and muscles that are well supplied, defences that run at one level all year round, and a body that gets going in January just as it does in July.
Three months, and the jar is not empty yet: 60 capsules last up to 120 days. Welcome to your new normal: a level that no longer swings with the seasons. Many only notice how much that is worth when they pause. So: do not pause. Keep your routine running, summer and winter alike.
Secure your supply1 jar · up to 120 days60 to 90 days, to be precise.
First the supply: the body stores vitamin D in fat tissue, which is why RISE gets by with few capsules. The level rises over weeks and reaches its plateau after two to three months. Until then your account builds up capsule by capsule.
Then the routine: the bigger part of the change happens in your head. A new regular action takes 66 days* on average before it runs automatically. Until then the capsule is a resolution you make anew each time. Around day 60 it becomes a habit, from day 90 it is simply part of your meal.
90 days, that is your path from the first resolution to the new normal, and one jar lasts beyond that.
* Lally et al., European Journal of Social Psychology 2010: 66 days on average.
Morning to evening
RISE brings light into the day. BASE, PULSE and CALM carry the rest.
Build your own routine: choose which Essentials belong to your day and how long your supply should last. From three Essentials you save, with a bigger supply even more.
90 days are a promise you make to yourself. Here is mine: I believe real quality does not need explaining, it shows in what it does. That is why every jar holds only what your body really needs, and nothing that burdens it. No hidden additives, no gimmicks, no mediocrity. Just a clear formula, day after day. For you and for me, only one thing counts: #55ornothing.

Vitamin D3 and K2: Why the Combination Achieves More Than D3 Alone
Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption in the gut. Vitamin K2 directs whether this calcium goes into the bones or deposits in the vessels. This article explains why the combination of D3 and K2 achieves more than D3 alone and what to look for when choosing the K2 form.

Vitamin D for Women: What the Body Really Needs in Different Life Stages
Women have particular vitamin D needs in different life stages: during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and after menopause. This article explains what vitamin D does for women's bone health and immune system and when targeted supplementation is especially relevant.
When to Take Vitamin D: Timing, Meals, and What Really Influences Absorption
Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so it is absorbed better with fat. But what does that mean practically for the intake time? This article explains when absorption is best, whether fasted intake is a problem, and why the MCT carrier in RISE solves this point.
Vitamin D Overdose and Side Effects: What Really Happens When You Take Too Much
As a fat-soluble vitamin, vitamin D can accumulate in the body. Overdoses are real but rare at usual supplementation amounts. This article explains at what dose it becomes problematic, which symptoms a vitamin D excess (hypervitaminosis D) shows, and what to watch for with medication interactions.

Vitamin D deficiency is widespread in northern latitudes, but the symptoms are often unspecific. This article explains which signs actually point to an undersupply, who is particularly affected, and when supplementation makes sense.
