Linus Pauling Institute
Tier: Academic (Oregon State University)
What it is
The Linus Pauling Institute publishes the Micronutrient Information Center — deep, peer-reviewed monographs on vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and common supplements.
Why we trust it
Every monograph is authored by PhDs, peer-reviewed by an external scientific advisor, and dated. Citations to primary literature are extensive and openly linked.
What we use it for
Secondary source for interactions and synergies when NIH ODS is silent; primary source for deep phytochemistry (curcumin, resveratrol, quercetin).
How Suvo applies it
Linus Pauling Institute pages help Suvo understand mechanisms, forms, and context for nutrients and plant compounds. They are especially useful when a supplement is common in stacks but not covered deeply by broad government fact sheets.
Limits
Academic monographs can be detailed without being personalized. Suvo uses them to support educational explanations and still defers to regulatory upper limits or clinical medication sources when those are more directly applicable.
