Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency about how we fund our work.
How We Generate Revenue
Wellness Choice Lab is a free resource for consumers. We do not charge readers for access to our content, and we do not accept payment for reviews. Instead, we generate revenue primarily through affiliate partnerships.
When you click a link on our Site and make a purchase from a retailer, we may receive a small commission — at no additional cost to you. This is a common practice among editorial review websites, including major publications like Wirecutter and Healthline.
What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a special URL that allows a retailer to track that a visitor came from our Site. If that visitor makes a purchase, the retailer pays us a commission as a referral fee. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer's website.
Our Commitment to Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is created independently of our affiliate relationships. Specifically:
- We do not accept payment for reviews. Our product evaluations are based on our research and analysis, not on compensation from manufacturers.
- Affiliate status does not influence rankings. A product's position or recommendation status is determined by our assessment of its features, value, and consumer suitability — not by commission rates.
- We cover products regardless of affiliate status. We may review and recommend products even if they do not offer affiliate commissions.
- Negative aspects are included. We do not hide limitations or drawbacks of products simply because they have an affiliate program.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Affiliate revenue allows us to:
- Maintain and improve the Site
- Invest in content research and creation
- Keep our content free for all readers
- Operate without relying on display advertising or sponsored content
How We Label Affiliate Content
We include a disclosure notice on every page that contains affiliate links. Our standard disclosure appears at the top of relevant articles and in the site footer. We believe in making our affiliate relationships clear and easy to understand.
