Biotarga (www.biotarga.com) is an independent supplement and health product review blog. To keep our content free and sustainable, we participate in affiliate marketing programs. This Affiliate Disclosure explains exactly how these relationships work and how they affect — or rather, do not affect — the content we publish.
1 What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based arrangement in which a website earns a commission by promoting products or services offered by a third-party retailer or brand. When a visitor clicks an affiliate link on our site and completes a qualifying purchase, we receive a small percentage of the sale as a referral fee.
This is a widely used and legitimate monetization model that allows content publishers like Biotarga to operate without charging readers, displaying intrusive ads, or accepting payment for reviews.
2 How Affiliate Links Work
When you click a product link on Biotarga that is an affiliate link, here is what happens:
You click a product link within one of our articles or reviews.
A small tracking cookie is placed in your browser to attribute the referral to Biotarga. Cookie duration varies by program (e.g., Amazon’s cookie lasts 24 hours).
If you complete a qualifying purchase on the retailer’s site within the cookie window, the sale is recorded.
We receive a small commission from the retailer — at absolutely no additional cost to you. You pay the same price you would without the link.
Not all links on Biotarga are affiliate links. We also link to products, studies, and resources with no commercial relationship simply because they are useful to our readers.
3 Affiliate Programs We Use
We currently participate in, or may participate in, the following affiliate programs:
| Program | Platform / Retailer | Types of Products |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Associates | Amazon.com & affiliated stores | Supplements, health products, appliances, and more |
| Health Retailer Programs | Various supplement & health stores | Vitamins, protein, wellness products |
| Brand Direct Programs | Individual supplement brands | Brand-specific product lines |
| Affiliate Networks | ShareASale, CJ, Impact, etc. | Various health & wellness categories |
This list may be updated as we join or leave programs. The presence of a product in our content does not necessarily mean an affiliate relationship exists with that specific brand or retailer.
4 Our Editorial Promise
We are committed to providing honest, independent content. Here is what we promise our readers:
5 FTC Compliance
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), Biotarga clearly discloses any material connection between our site and the products or companies we write about.
This includes:
- Affiliate commissions earned through purchase referrals
- Free products received for review purposes
- Sponsored content or paid partnerships (if any)
Where sponsored or gifted content exists, it will be explicitly labeled as such. For more information on FTC guidelines, visit ftc.gov.
6 No Extra Cost to You
The commission we earn comes from the retailer’s own marketing budget — it does not come out of your pocket. Supporting us through affiliate links is a free way to help keep Biotarga running and our content freely accessible.
7 How We Select Products to Review
Products featured on Biotarga are selected based on the following criteria — not based on commission rates:
- Reader demand — topics and products our audience is actively searching for
- Ingredient quality — formulations backed by credible nutritional research
- Brand reputation — manufacturers with transparent labeling and quality standards
- Value for money — products that offer a fair price relative to quality
- Availability — products accessible to readers in major markets
We may occasionally review products that have no affiliate program simply because we believe they are worth our readers’ attention.
8 Third-Party Links
Biotarga contains links to external websites and retailers. While we take care to link only to reputable sources and products, we are not responsible for the content, pricing, availability, or privacy practices of third-party websites.
Once you leave our site via an affiliate or external link, you are subject to the terms and privacy policies of that third party. We encourage you to review them independently.
For more details on how we handle your data and third-party tracking, please read our Privacy Policy.
9 Changes to This Disclosure
We may update this Affiliate Disclosure from time to time as we join new programs, update our practices, or respond to regulatory changes. When we do, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
Continued use of Biotarga after any updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised disclosure. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
