Our Commitment to You
Best Astaxanthin is committed to providing honest, transparent, and comprehensive reviews of astaxanthin supplements. We believe in helping you make informed decisions about your health and wellness.
How We Earn Money
Best Astaxanthin participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through links on our website. These programs include, but are not limited to:
- Amazon Associates Program: We are 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 advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
- ShareASale: We participate in affiliate programs through ShareASale, earning commissions on qualifying purchases.
- Commission Junction (CJ): We work with various brands through CJ's affiliate network.
- Direct Brand Partnerships: Some supplement brands provide us with affiliate commissions when you purchase directly through their websites using our links.
What This Means for You
No Extra Cost: When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, you pay the same price you would if you went directly to the retailer. The commission we earn comes from the retailer, not from you.
Example: If a product costs $29.99 on Amazon, you'll pay exactly $29.99 whether you use our link or find the product yourself. Amazon (or the retailer) pays us a small percentage of that sale.
Our Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do NOT influence our reviews, rankings, or recommendations. Here's our promise to you:
- Honest Reviews: We test products independently and provide honest assessments, including both pros and cons.
- Merit-Based Rankings: Products are ranked based on quality, effectiveness, value, and testing results—not on commission rates.
- Real Testing: We personally test products whenever possible and conduct thorough research on those we cannot test directly.
- Consumer-First: Your best interests always come first. We only recommend products we genuinely believe provide value.
- Clear Disclosure: We clearly mark affiliate links and disclose our relationships throughout our content.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Creating comprehensive, research-based content requires significant time and resources. Testing products, conducting research, maintaining our website, and staying current with new products and studies is our full-time work.
Affiliate commissions allow us to:
- Provide free, comprehensive content to our readers
- Maintain and update our website regularly
- Purchase and test new products
- Conduct independent research and analysis
- Keep our content ad-free or with minimal advertising
Products We Recommend
We only recommend products that:
- Meet our quality standards
- Provide genuine value to consumers
- Have positive customer feedback
- Come from reputable manufacturers
- Offer transparent ingredient lists and testing
If a product doesn't meet these criteria, we won't recommend it—regardless of potential commission.
Research and Analysis
We base our reviews on comprehensive research, including:
- Available third-party lab testing results
- Scientific research and clinical studies
- Verified customer reviews and feedback
- Manufacturer certifications and quality standards
- Industry reports and formulation analysis
Note: We do not conduct physical laboratory testing of products. Our evaluations are research-based. See our Editorial Policy for full methodology details.
FTC Compliance
We comply with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines regarding affiliate marketing and endorsements. As required by the FTC:
- We clearly and conspicuously disclose our affiliate relationships
- We do not make false or misleading claims about products
- Our endorsements reflect our honest opinions and experiences
- We disclose material connections with brands or manufacturers
Pricing and Availability
Price Accuracy: While we strive to keep pricing information current, prices can change frequently. Always verify the current price on the retailer's website before making a purchase.
Availability: Product availability may vary by location and can change without notice. We are not responsible for out-of-stock items.
Your Trust Matters
Your trust is our most valuable asset. If we ever fall short of these standards or if you have concerns about our content, please contact us. We take feedback seriously and continuously work to improve our content and practices.
