Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through them, I earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It doesn’t change what I recommend or how I grade the evidence.
That’s the exact text that appears in plain type, above the first affiliate link, on every article that has one — never hidden in a footer, never inside a hyperlink, never in light grey text. This page exists so the relationship is spelled out fully, in one place, once.
What kind of links these are
Affiliate links only appear in articles in the “What to buy” category — the ones that compare specific products by name. Articles that explain a symptom or a mechanism never carry a product link; if you ever see one there, it’s a mistake, and I’d want to know about it.
What it doesn’t change
A commission doesn’t raise a product’s Evidence Strip grade, and it doesn’t keep me from saying a product didn’t work for me if that’s what happened. I’ve turned down offers that pay well because they didn’t fit what this site is for — that policy is on the editorial policy page.
FTC compliance
This disclosure follows the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidance under 16 CFR 255: material connections are stated in plain, unavoidable text near the relevant link, not buried in a policy page alone.
