Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: February 22, 2026

This site contains affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you purchase through certain links, at no additional cost to you. This disclosure is provided for transparency and FTC compliance.

The Simple Version

BioHackingTested participates in affiliate marketing. When you click certain links on this site and make a purchase, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Your price stays the same whether you use my link or go directly to the brand. The only difference is that using my link helps support this site and allows me to keep creating free, research-backed content.

What Are Affiliate Links?

An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks when someone clicks from my site to a retailer or brand, then makes a purchase. If you buy something, I get a small percentage of that sale as a commission—typically 3–10% depending on the product and partnership.

Here’s a real example:

  • You read a review or guide on BioHackingTested
  • You click a link to a manufacturer or retailer
  • You purchase the product
  • I earn a commission
  • Your price remains exactly the same

That commission helps cover the costs of running this site: testing equipment, purchasing devices for reviews, hosting, and the time spent researching and writing.

What I Recommend (And Why)

I only recommend products I’ve personally tested or thoroughly researched.

This is not a link farm. Products are included on this site only if:

  1. I’ve tested them myself for a meaningful period of time, or
  2. I’ve conducted extensive research, reviewed scientific literature, and believe the product has legitimate evidence-based benefits

If a product fails testing or performs poorly—even if it offers an affiliate commission—I’ll say so. Financial incentives do not override accuracy or integrity.

My Partnerships

I work with brands and companies that align with the topics and tools I actually use and study. These partnerships generally fall into three categories:

Direct Brand Partnerships

Affiliate relationships with manufacturers of red light therapy devices, sleep tools, supplements, and related health optimization products.

Affiliate Networks

Participation in affiliate networks that connect creators with relevant brands. Products are still evaluated individually before inclusion.

No Paid Placements

Companies cannot pay for positive reviews, guaranteed coverage, or editorial influence. All content is created independently.

What I Don’t Do

  • I don’t recommend products solely because they pay higher commissions
  • I don’t accept payment in exchange for positive reviews
  • I don’t hide affiliate relationships

If a link is an affiliate link, that relationship is disclosed clearly—either near the link itself or within the article.

How Affiliate Revenue Supports This Site

Running BioHackingTested involves real costs. Affiliate revenue helps cover:

Testing Equipment

  • Light meters for measuring red light output
  • EMF meters for device safety testing
  • Multiple devices for comparison testing

Research & Content Creation

  • Hundreds of hours reviewing scientific studies
  • Time spent writing, editing, and updating articles

Site Operations

  • Hosting and infrastructure
  • Security and maintenance
  • Analytics and performance tools

Affiliate partnerships allow this content to remain free and independent without relying on intrusive ads or paid subscriptions.

Your Choice Always

You are never obligated to use affiliate links on this site.

You’re free to:

  • Purchase products directly from brands
  • Compare prices elsewhere
  • Buy from a local retailer

If you choose to use an affiliate link, thank you—it directly supports the continued testing and research behind this site.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate relationships are disclosed in multiple ways:

  • Within articles: Clear disclosure statements at the top or near product recommendations
  • Near links: “Affiliate link” labels where appropriate
  • This page: Linked from the site footer for full transparency

Questions or Concerns?

If you ever have questions about a recommendation or feel something wasn’t disclosed clearly, you can reach out directly. Transparency is an editorial principle of this site.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). All affiliate relationships are disclosed clearly and prominently.

Changes to This Policy

If affiliate practices change, this page will be updated accordingly. The “Last Updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
