Full transparency on how affiliate commissions work at Health Formula Guide — and our guarantee that they never influence our editorial ratings.
Last Updated: May 22, 2026In full compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines at 16 C.F.R. Part 255, Health Formula Guide discloses that some links on this website — specifically those directing you to supplement manufacturer websites — are affiliate referral links.
This means that if you click one of these links and subsequently make a qualifying purchase, Health Formula Guide may receive a commission from the brand — at absolutely zero extra cost to you. This disclosure is made to ensure full transparency and compliance with FTC endorsement guidelines.
The Federal Trade Commission requires websites that review or recommend commercial products to clearly disclose when they receive compensation from the brands or sellers of those products. This page serves as our sitewide FTC disclosure, as required by the Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 C.F.R. Part 255).
In addition to this page, affiliate links throughout our site are individually identified where reasonably practicable — for example, review pages may contain notices such as "This page contains affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you."
Here is exactly how our affiliate arrangement functions — step by step:
You Click an Affiliate Link
When you click a "Buy Now", "Order Now", "Check Price", or a linked product image on our site, you are directed to the official manufacturer's or retailer's website via a tracked referral URL.
A Tracking Cookie Is Set
The affiliate network places a small, secure tracking cookie in your browser (typical expiry: 30–60 days). This cookie identifies that you arrived at the brand's website through our referral — it collects no personal health information.
You Make a Purchase (If You Choose To)
If you decide to purchase the product on the brand's site within the cookie window, the affiliate network records this as a qualifying conversion. You pay the same retail price as any other customer.
We Receive a Commission
Health Formula Guide is credited with a referral commission — typically 5–40% of the order value depending on the brand's affiliate programme terms. This commission is paid by the brand, not added to your purchase price.
Running a genuinely independent, research-quality health review platform is resource-intensive. Affiliate commissions enable us to fund the following without charging our readers:
Medical Advisory Board
Retaining licensed physicians, dentists, and nutritionists to review our content for medical accuracy.
Product Purchases
Buying retail bottles of supplements for formulation review, dosage verification, and sensory testing.
Research Database Access
Subscriptions to PubMed, clinical trial databases, and full-text journal access for ingredient research.
Editorial Team
Compensating our team of health writers, editors, and data analysts who produce each in-depth review.
In short: your support through affiliate clicks makes our free, ad-light, paywall-free review platform possible. Thank you.
Our ratings are 100% science-driven. Full stop.
We work with reputable, established affiliate networks. Our current active partnerships include:
ClickBank
Digital health products and supplements distributed via ClickBank's vendor marketplace.
Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate)
Large-scale health and wellness brand partnerships managed through CJ Affiliate Network.
Impact Radius
Premium health and wellness DTC brand partnerships managed through the Impact platform.
Direct Brand Partnerships
Some brands manage their own affiliate programme independently. Where this applies, we maintain the same editorial independence standards.
You Always Pay the Standard Retail Price
Affiliate commissions are funded entirely by the brand's marketing budget — not added to your purchase price. Whether you click our affiliate link or visit the brand's website directly, you pay exactly the same amount. In some cases, our affiliate partnerships even allow us to secure exclusive reader discounts which you would not receive by visiting the brand directly.
