This page explains how we handle affiliate links and paid relationships on this Site, in line with the Federal Trade Commission’s rules on endorsements 16 C.F.R.
How Affiliate Links Work Here
Some links you’ll find on this Site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something — or take some other qualifying action — we may earn a small commission. It doesn’t cost you anything extra. It’s just how some of the content on this Site gets funded.
We Keep Our Opinions Our Own
Whether or not something’s an affiliate link has no bearing on what we choose to write about or recommend. Commission rates don’t drive our rankings, and no company gets to pay for a good review here. If we mention a product, it’s because we think it’s worth mentioning — not because someone paid us to say so. That’s especially true for anything touching on health: no affiliate deal changes the medical information or guidance we share.
Where You’ll See the Disclosure
A general page like this one isn’t enough on its own — the FTC expects disclosures to show up right where the link or recommendation actually appears. So alongside this page, you’ll also see a short, clear note near any specific affiliate link or product mention, wherever it comes up on the Site.
Here’s what that usually looks like:
“This page contains affiliate links. If you buy through one of these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This doesn’t change our recommendations.”
Or, for a single product mention:
“[Product Name] — this is an affiliate link, and we may earn a commission if you purchase through it.”
Programs We May Use
We may take part in affiliate programs such as the Amazon Associates Program, along with other health, wellness, or pharmacy-related affiliate networks. Some of these programs ask for their own specific wording in addition to what’s on this page — when that applies, you’ll see both.
Not a Personal Medical Recommendation
Just because a product shows up as an affiliate link doesn’t mean it’s the right choice for you specifically. Always check with a licensed healthcare provider before making decisions about medications, treatments, or medical devices — regardless of anything mentioned on this Site.
