How we make money, in plain terms

Effective: 2026-09-15Applies to: every page on this siteRequired by: FTC endorsement rules

NextGen Vitality is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. We also participate in affiliate programs with other retailers and manufacturers. In plain terms: some of the links on this site — usually a "Check Price" or "View on Amazon" button — are affiliate links. If you click through and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The price you pay doesn't change either way; the commission comes out of the retailer's own margin, not your wallet.

Why this page exists

The Federal Trade Commission requires any site with a financial stake in a recommendation to say so clearly, regardless of how genuinely the writer means the recommendation. That rule exists because a reader can't judge how much weight to give a review without knowing whether the reviewer gets paid when it's followed. This page is that disclosure, and a shorter version of it sits in the footer of every page on the site.

Kept separate from the recommendation

Whether we recommend a product is decided by reading the manufacturer's claims against the available research — real human trial data, thin pilot data, or nothing published at all — before anyone on our team considers whether an affiliate relationship exists for that product. Commission rates aren't part of that conversation, and a product with an affiliate link attached can still get a lukewarm or critical writeup if the evidence or the label doesn't hold up.

Not every link is an affiliate link

Links to a published study, a government agency page, or a manufacturer's own safety data sheet are citations, not affiliate links — nobody gets paid when you click one of those. The commercial links are specifically the retailer or "buy" buttons on product pages and any similarly marked link inside an article.

Research comes first

Our content is built from publicly available material — ingredient panels, published studies, and manufacturer disclosures — not from review units supplied by a brand and not from a paid placement. We don't accept payment in exchange for coverage, and we don't accept payment in exchange for a specific recommendation.

Nothing on this site, including a product recommendation, is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Talk to a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
