General-interest journalism on the U.S. dietary-supplement industry, including Pauling's role in popularizing vitamin C. Byline (Peter Weber) and update date confirmed by direct fetch. Reports industry-wide sales figures ('$12 billion a year for vitamins alone and about $30 billion for all dietary supplements') as context for the scale of the market Pauling's advocacy helped build; does not itself document any personal financial arrangement between Pauling and a supplement manufacturer.
