A multivitamin sets the stage for health management. I use Physician’s Daily as the base layer for people who need broad nutrient coverage while we work on the harder problems underneath. It is not glamorous. It matters.

What I like here is the form of the nutrients. B12 comes as methylcobalamin and folate as the active methylated form, which matters for the many patients whose methylation is sluggish. B6 is pyridoxal-5-phosphate, the active form. Vitamin D3 sits at 2000 IU, a dose that often means one less supplement bottle on the shelf. CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and lutein round it out. And it is iron-free, which I prefer unless testing shows someone needs iron.

For the most part, the best way to get key nutrients is through eating a healthy plant forward diet. And for vitamin B12, occasional red meat is helpful. Whole foods beat pills for most nutrients. But my patients often cannot eat perfectly every day, and chronic illness raises nutrient demands. A well-built multivitamin fills the void efficiently.

It is one capsule a day with food. Sixty capsules, two months per bottle. If stomach upset shows up, take it with a bigger meal.

I do not use it to replace targeted support. If vitamin D, B12, or minerals test low, we fix those specifically. The multivitamin is the foundation of support.
