Affiliate Disclosure
The Wellness Bench is reader-supported. Here is exactly how that works — and what it does not change.
Last updated November 2026
How we make money
The Wellness Bench is a free, independent publication funded almost entirely by affiliate commissions. When you click a product link on this site and complete a purchase, the merchant or affiliate network pays us a commission. You pay the same price you would pay going to the merchant directly — sometimes less, because brands frequently route discounts through affiliate links.
Who we work with
We participate in affiliate programmes operated by networks such as ClickBank and JVZoo, as well as direct programmes with individual supplement brands. When a link is an affiliate link it carries rel="nofollow sponsored" attributes and opens the merchant's own checkout — we never process payments ourselves.
Why commissions never decide our ratings
Our editorial process runs in a fixed order: we source the label, cross-reference each active ingredient against published research, assess third-party testing and manufacturing evidence, and aggregate verified buyer feedback. The verdict and score are written at that point. Commercial arrangements are reviewed afterwards, and a poor product is published as a poor product regardless of the commission it could earn.
Products we cover
We only list products we have actually assessed. If a brand offers an unusually high commission but the formula does not hold up — underdosed actives, hidden proprietary blends, no third-party certificate of analysis — it appears with a low score or not at all.
Your choice
You are never obliged to buy through our links. If you prefer, search the product name directly and purchase from the brand's own site. Doing so does not change what you see on The Wellness Bench, and our reviews remain free either way.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is provided in line with the US Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). Material connections between The Wellness Bench and the merchants we link to are disclosed here and on the articles where affiliate links appear.
