Just Real Health Facts is reader-supported. To keep the site free, some of our articles contain affiliate links. This page explains exactly what that means and how it works.
What affiliate links are
An affiliate link is a special tracking link to a product on a third-party retailer. If you click one of our affiliate links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from that retailer. This comes at no extra cost to you — you pay the same price you would have paid otherwise.
Programs we participate in
Just Real Health Facts participates in affiliate and advertising programs operated by third parties, which may include the Amazon Associates Program, iHerb, and affiliate networks such as CJ Affiliate. Through these programs we earn fees on qualifying purchases made through the links on this site.
Our editorial independence
Commissions do not determine what we cover or what we recommend. We choose topics and form conclusions based on the available evidence — peer-reviewed research and clinical guidelines — not on which products pay a commission. If the evidence for a product is weak, mixed, or unfavorable, we say so, regardless of any affiliate relationship. Where the evidence does not support a purchase, the honest answer is that you may not need the product at all.
How links are marked
We aim to make affiliate links clear in context, and every page that contains them also carries a disclosure in the footer. You are never obligated to use our links — you can always search for any product directly.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines (16 CFR Part 255, "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising"). We disclose our affiliate relationships so you can weigh them when reading our content.
Not medical advice
The content on Just Real Health Facts is for general educational purposes only and is not medical advice. It is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement, medication, or treatment — especially if you have a health condition or take prescription drugs.
