Does AltHealthWorks earn money from the products it writes about? No. AltHealthWorks does not use affiliate links, does not run paid advertising, does not publish sponsored articles, and does not sell products. Links in our articles point to studies, government sources, and news reports so readers can check our work, and no company pays us for those links or for coverage.

This page explains how AltHealthWorks handles money, links, and outside relationships, so readers can judge our articles with full information. It applies to every article and page on althealthworks.com.

Do Articles on This Site Contain Affiliate Links?

No. An affiliate link pays a website a commission when a reader buys something after clicking. AltHealthWorks does not participate in affiliate programs, and none of our articles contain affiliate links. When we name a product, brand, or company, it is because the topic requires it, not because we receive anything in return.

Does AltHealthWorks Accept Advertising or Sponsored Content?

No. We do not run display advertising on the site, and we do not accept payment, free products, or other compensation in exchange for writing about a topic, product, or company. We do not publish articles written or paid for by outside organizations. If a company asks us to cover its product in exchange for payment, we decline.

Why Do Articles Link to Outside Websites?

Our articles link to their sources: peer-reviewed studies on PubMed, government agencies such as the FDA, USDA, EPA, and CDC, court records, and news reporting. These links let readers verify each claim. We receive nothing for them. A link to an outside source is not an endorsement of that organization or of any product it sells.

How Are Editorial Decisions Made?

Topics are chosen based on reader interest and the subjects of our older archive, which we are rewriting article by article. Conclusions are based on the best available evidence, including when that evidence is unfavorable to a product, company, ingredient, or popular belief. No company mentioned in our articles reviews or approves content before publication. Our editorial standards and correction policy are described on our About page.

Will This Policy Ever Change?

If AltHealthWorks ever begins using affiliate links, advertising, or sponsored content, we will update this page first and clearly label any affected link or article at the point where it appears, as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) require. Each label would appear next to the link itself as well as on this page, so readers would know about any financial relationship before clicking.

Why Does This Matter for Health Information?

Money can shape health content in ways that are hard to see. Studies of medical and nutrition research have found that industry funding is associated with conclusions that favor the funder, and the same pressure applies to websites that earn commissions from the products they review. Readers deserve to know whether a site has a financial reason to recommend something. Our approach is simple: no commissions, no ads, no sponsored posts, so our only incentive is accuracy.
