In 2001, the U.S. Department of Defense enlisted Dr. Prasad to develop a supplement to reduce trauma and boost resilience in military personnel. This led to the creation of Micro Daily, originally called the Military Micronutrient Formulation (MMF).
Validating Micro Daily required six years of scientific research supported by more than $24 million in funding, including $12.5 million in competitive congressional research grants and more than $12 million in private investment. Dr. Prasad secured all three Department of Defense grants through a highly competitive application process and spent two years working with Congress to obtain funding for Micro Daily's scientific validation.
During this effort, he delivered 17 scientific briefings to military researchers and leaders, earning recognition for the scientific merit of Micro Daily. The research program also included nine months of rigorous safety testing overseen by the U.S. Military Institutional Review Board, as well as safety and efficacy studies involving Marines and veterans. Over the course of the six-year program, Dr. Prasad led 14 clinical studies that established Micro Daily as an extensively researched, scientifically validated, and patent-supported supplement.
CQF: COMBINATION • QUANTITY • FORM
COMBINATION
Certain nutrients enhance the absorption, activation, or function of others, while inappropriate combinations can reduce effectiveness or create an imbalance. Our formulations are built to support complementary biochemical pathways, enhance nutrient synergy and bioavailability, avoid competitive inhibition between minerals, and minimize pro-oxidant interactions.
By carefully designing the combination of ingredients, we aim to deliver balanced, biologically intelligent formulations that support optimal cellular function.
QUANTITY
Dr. Prasad’s research has demonstrated that maintaining consistent nutrient availability supports optimal cellular health. Appropriate quantities are selected to support physiological function without exceeding established safe upper limits, reflect evidence-based research, and provide meaningful biological activity.
The goal is not megadosing, but targeted, effective levels.
FORM
The form of a nutrient significantly affects its absorption, tolerability, and bioavailability.
For example:
- Vitamin A as retinyl palmitate for stability
- Vitamin C as sodium ascorbate to reduce gastric irritation
- Selenium as selenomethionine for superior absorption
- Chelated or glycinate forms of minerals for improved bioavailability
Iron, copper, and manganese are intentionally excluded because, in the presence of vitamin C, these metals can generate free radicals, increasing oxidative stress.
Heavy metals and non-essential trace elements are excluded due to their potential long-term tissue accumulation and toxicity.
