Affiliate Disclosure
Optimize Your Biology is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn a commission, at no additional cost to you. Here is exactly how that works, and what it never changes.
The short version
- Some links on this site pay us a small commission. The price you pay is the same either way.
- As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
- Commissions never decide what we recommend or how we rank it. The data does.
- If the best option pays us nothing, we link to it anyway.
How we handle it
The money follows the recommendation, never the other way round.
We only link to what we believe is best
We never recommend or rank a product because it has a good affiliate program. Our testing decides, not the payout.
We happily link to things that pay us nothing
If the best option can’t be an affiliate link, we link to it anyway. The point is to give you the best information, not to get paid.
We pass along deals when we find them
When we can share a coupon or code that gets you a better price, we do. Sometimes it earns us a little; often it’s just a deal we wanted you to have.
Which programs we’re part of
We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate program that lets us earn fees by linking to Amazon. We also work with affiliate programs run by individual brands, directly or through networks such as Awin and Impact.
A link that pays us looks and works like any other link. Clicking it takes you to the retailer, who may set its own cookie to know the sale came from us. Our Privacy Policy covers what that means for your data.
If this site helps you
Buying through our links is a real and direct way to support the work. You’ll also find personal donation links for Derek and Brent in our articles; anything given that way goes straight to the two of us. Either way, we only ever recommend what we find to be genuinely the best.
The full picture.
How we test, how we stay independent, and why we run no ads is all in Our Standards.
