Affiliate Disclosure
At The Exosome Edit, we believe in full transparency with our readers. This page explains how we earn revenue, how affiliate relationships work, and the measures we take to ensure our editorial content remains independent and trustworthy.
How We Earn Revenue
The Exosome Edit is a free, independently operated informational website. We earn revenue primarily through affiliate partnerships. When you click certain links on our site and make a purchase or take a qualifying action, we may receive a commission from the retailer or service provider at no additional cost to you.
This affiliate revenue is what allows us to operate the site, fund our research, and continue publishing free content. We appreciate your support when you choose to use our links.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are specially tracked URLs that identify The Exosome Edit as the referring website. When you click one of these links, a small tracking cookie may be placed on your device by the affiliate partner. If you complete a qualifying purchase within the cookie window (typically 24 hours to 30 days, depending on the program), we earn a commission.
You never pay more by using our affiliate links. The price you see is the same whether you arrive at the retailer through our link or navigate there directly. In some cases, we may negotiate exclusive discounts for our readers.
Types of Affiliate Partnerships
Our affiliate relationships may include, but are not limited to:
- Telehealth platforms: Online platforms that offer GLP-1 medication consultations and prescriptions.
- Supplement retailers: Companies selling GLP-1-adjacent supplements, vitamins, and nutritional products.
- Health and wellness services: Weight management programs, fitness platforms, and health monitoring tools.
- Online pharmacies: Licensed pharmacies offering prescription medications.
- General retailers: Amazon and other e-commerce platforms for books, devices, and related products we reference in our content.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose our affiliate relationships in the following ways:
- A site-wide disclosure banner is visible on pages containing affiliate links.
- Individual articles containing affiliate links include a disclosure statement near the top of the content.
- This dedicated affiliate disclosure page provides comprehensive details about our partnerships.
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, ratings, recommendations, or analysis.
We maintain strict editorial independence through the following principles:
- Content first: Articles are researched and written before affiliate links are considered. We never create content solely to promote an affiliate product.
- Honest assessments: If a product has significant drawbacks, we report them regardless of affiliate relationships. We include negative findings from clinical studies and user experiences.
- No pay-for-placement: Affiliate partners cannot pay for favorable reviews, higher rankings, or preferred positioning in our content.
- Separation of concerns: Our editorial team operates independently from our business partnerships. Writers and editors are not compensated based on affiliate revenue.
- Non-affiliate coverage: We regularly cover topics, medications, and products for which we have no affiliate relationship, because our mission is to inform — not to sell.
Health Product Responsibility
Because our content covers health topics including prescription medications, we hold ourselves to a higher standard of responsibility:
- We never recommend that readers purchase prescription medications without consulting a healthcare provider.
- We do not promote unregulated or unapproved products as alternatives to FDA-approved medications.
- We clearly distinguish between FDA-approved GLP-1 medications and supplements or compounded formulations.
- Affiliate links to telehealth platforms direct users to licensed medical consultations — not to direct purchase of prescription drugs without oversight.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
While we strive to clearly label affiliate content, you can generally identify affiliate links by:
- Disclosure statements at the top of articles (e.g., "This article contains affiliate links")
- Links that redirect through tracking domains before reaching the retailer
- "Check Price," "Visit Site," or "Learn More" buttons within product reviews and comparisons
Your Choice
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. If you prefer not to use them, you can navigate directly to any retailer or service mentioned in our content. Our content is always free regardless of whether you use affiliate links.
