Dietary Supplements Editorial Process · Independent data-journalism editorial process
PlainVitamins is an independent data-journalism portal that analyzes the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) to provide plain-language insight into supplement composition, labeling, and the brands and ingredients on the U.S. market. Pages are rendered directly from the source label records by a continuous editorial pipeline, no figure is hand-typed by an editor, and the team is responsible for how the data is sourced, framed, and corrected, maintaining editorial independence by not accepting payment from entities it covers.
