How we handle commercial relationships.
Editorial independence is the entire premise of this site. We disclose every commercial relationship and we never let them influence scoring.

What an affiliate relationship is
Affiliate relationships are commercial arrangements where we may receive a small commission if a reader follows a link to a third-party site and takes an action there.
We may have such arrangements with selected suppliers and educational platforms.
Affiliate ≠ scoring
An affiliate relationship never determines a score. Scoring follows the methodology, full stop.
We have written and rewritten reviews of partners — including downgrading scores for partners — when the evidence and transparency picture shifted.
How affiliate links are labelled
Where present, affiliate links carry a clearly visible label or badge. We do not hide them inside body copy or pass them off as editorial recommendations.
We do not use affiliate links inside review scoring sections.
What we don't do
We don't accept payment in exchange for favourable coverage. We don't accept payment to remove or downgrade reviews of competitors. We don't publish 'sponsored reviews' of peptides.
