We believe in being completely transparent about how SuppStarter works and how we earn money. This page explains everything.
SuppStarter participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click a product link on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Our primary affiliate partners are iHerb and Amazon Associates. Both are well-established, globally trusted retailers of supplements and health products.
Our commitment: Affiliate commissions never influence which products we recommend or how we rank them. We recommend what the evidence supports and what we genuinely consider the best option — regardless of commission rate.
Every product recommendation on SuppStarter is based on the following criteria, in order of priority:
1. Scientific evidence — we only recommend products backed by peer-reviewed research. No trending ingredients without evidence.
2. Third-party testing — we prioritize products that have been independently tested for purity and label accuracy by organizations like NSF, Informed Sport, or IFOS.
3. Ingredient transparency — we avoid proprietary blends that hide ingredient quantities. You should know exactly what you're taking.
4. Global availability — we favor products available on iHerb (180+ countries) so our recommendations are genuinely useful to readers worldwide.
5. Value for money — we consider cost per effective dose, not just sticker price.
We will never accept payment to feature or positively review a product. We will never rank a product higher because it has a higher commission rate. We will never hide the fact that a link is an affiliate link — all affiliate links are clearly marked with "* Affiliate link" notes.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines in the United States and similar regulations in other jurisdictions, we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly and prominently. This page constitutes our site-wide disclosure. Individual articles also contain inline disclosures near product recommendations.
Content on SuppStarter is for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen, especially if you have existing health conditions or take prescription medication.
