Affiliate disclosure

Nobody pays us anything.

How this site makes money, which today is not at all, and what would have to be true before that changed.

Nobody pays us anything

As of 31 August 2026, Supplement IQ carries no affiliate links, no advertising, no sponsored content, and no paid placements. Nobody has paid for a mention, a verdict, or a position on any page, and no supplement company has any relationship with this site.

You can check that yourself. Every outbound link on this site goes to PubMed, and PubMed pays nobody.

If that ever changes

It might. Running this costs money and one day it may need to earn some. If that happens, three things will be true before a single paid link goes live.

This page will say so, plainly and at the top, before the link exists. Every paid link will be marked where it appears, not buried in a footer. And the price you pay will never be higher because you came through us.

What money will never buy

A verdict on this site is computed from the evidence we scored. It is not written by hand, it is not negotiable, and there is no editorial process in which anyone could lean on it. The method is published in full on how we score, so if a verdict ever looked bought, you would be able to check the working and catch us.

That is the point of publishing the method. It is a commitment that costs us something, which is the only kind worth making.

Nobody will ever be able to pay to change a capsule, add a claim, remove a hollow verdict, or move up a list. If we are ever asked, we will say so on this page.

The formal bit

When affiliate links exist, United States readers are covered by the Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guides, which require a clear and conspicuous disclosure of a material connection, and Canadian readers by the Competition Act’s rules on misleading representations. We will meet both, and the disclosure will sit next to the link rather than at the bottom of the page.
