How Affiliate Commissions Work
When you click on an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or navigate to the retailer directly. These commissions help us:
- Continue creating high-quality, research-based content
- Maintain and improve our website
- Cover operational costs such as hosting, tools, and research resources
- Compensate our team of writers and researchers
Our Editorial Standards
We want to assure you that our affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial integrity. We maintain strict standards:
Independence in Recommendations
Our product recommendations are based solely on:
- Scientific research and evidence
- Product quality and effectiveness
- Customer reviews and satisfaction ratings
- Safety profiles and third-party testing
- Value for money considerations
No Pay-for-Play Policy
We do not accept payment for positive reviews or rankings. Our affiliate partnerships are formed after we've already determined that a product or service meets our quality standards, not before.
Honest Reviews
We provide balanced, honest reviews that include both pros and cons of products. If we don't believe a product provides value to our readers, we won't recommend it, regardless of potential commission earnings.
Product Testing and Research
Whenever possible, our team personally tests products before recommending them. When personal testing isn't feasible, we rely on:
- Peer-reviewed scientific studies
- Third-party laboratory testing results
- Analysis of ingredient profiles
- Comprehensive review of customer feedback
- Consultation with healthcare professionals

We clearly identify affiliate content in the following ways:
- Affiliate links may be marked with distinctive styling or icons
