How Affiliate Links Work
Some links on this site — for example, the buttons in a review that take you to a manufacturer’s store — are affiliate links. They contain a tracking code. If you click one and then buy the product, the manufacturer may pay this site a commission for the referral.
That is the entire mechanism. There are no sponsored posts, no paid placements, and no products featured because they pay. Reviews are chosen by reader interest and researched the same way whether or not an affiliate programme exists for the product.
Commissions Never Change Your Price
Buying through an affiliate link costs you exactly the same as going to the manufacturer’s site directly — the commission comes out of the seller’s side, not your pocket. Prices, discounts and guarantees quoted in our reviews are the standard ones shown on the manufacturer’s page at the time of writing.
Commissions Never Change a Verdict
This is the part that matters, so it gets its own section:
- Every review publishes a genuine cons list, including label shortcomings, missing ingredients and recurring buyer complaints.
- If a product is poor value or its claims don’t hold up, the review says so — affiliate link or not. Our first review, for example, points out that its product omits one of the nine essential amino acids and doesn’t disclose per-ingredient amounts. The link stayed; so did the criticism.
- Manufacturers cannot pay for a better rating, a softer review, or earlier placement on this site. There is nothing to buy.
Material Connection
In FTC terms: the operator of this site has a material connection to the providers of some products reviewed here, in the form of the affiliate commissions described above. You should assume that links to manufacturers’ stores on review pages are affiliate links unless a page states otherwise. A short version of this disclosure appears in the footer of every page, and reviews carry their own disclosure at the end of the article.
Not Medical Advice
Nothing on this site is medical advice, and an affiliate relationship never changes that. Supplements are not medicines and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Talk to your own doctor before taking any supplement, especially if you have a health condition or take regular medication.
