Transparency

Affiliate disclosure.

Useful tools. Clearly marked links. No disappearing small print.

Amazon Associates

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Some posts contain Amazon.co.uk affiliate links. If you follow a tagged link and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.

How to recognise a paid link

Tagged links are labelled “(paid link)” and/or “#CommissionsEarned” next to the link. Our UPF-labels article links to an optional kitchen scale for serving-size checks. Our protein-label investigation includes separate recommendations for convenient whey protein, creatine for a different exercise-performance purpose, and a kitchen scale. These links use our Associates tracking tag. We have not independently tested the recommended retail products; ingredient research is not a test of a named finished product.

Why a link is there

Tools should help you act on the investigation: for example, reading small print or recording label comparisons. You do not need to buy anything to benefit from our reporting. Where something you already own will do the job, we say so.

Commercial links do not determine our conclusions, change the evidence rating or turn an uncertain result into a recommendation. A product’s availability on Amazon is not evidence that it works, and a search link is not an endorsement of every result shown.

Editorial independence

We do not sell placement in our evidence conclusions. Any sponsored editorial arrangement would need a separate clear disclosure. Affiliate revenue and the strength of a research finding are different questions; we intend to keep them that way.
