Affiliate Disclosure

FTC Disclosure

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising," Healthy Pound is required to disclose the relationship between this website and certain products and services mentioned on this site.

Company Ownership & Financial Relationships

We believe in complete transparency: products and services that generate higher commissions or that we have ownership interests in may receive more prominent placement, higher ratings, or more favorable coverage than competing products. While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, you should be aware that financial considerations may affect how products are presented and recommended on this site.

Affiliate Relationships

Healthy Pound participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions on purchases made through our links to retailer sites. This means that when you click on certain links on this website and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

These affiliate relationships include, but are not limited to:

• Amazon Associates Program
• Direct partnerships with health and wellness brands
• Affiliate networks for dietary supplements and fitness products
• Direct ownership or equity stakes in featured companies

Our Approach to Reviews & Content

While we strive to provide helpful and accurate information, it's important to understand that our business model relies on affiliate commissions and potentially company ownership interests. We aim to balance providing value to our readers with the commercial realities of operating this website. Our reviews are based on research and, when possible, personal experience, but financial considerations may influence which products receive coverage and how prominently they are featured.

Our review process includes:

• Research of product ingredients, clinical studies, and customer feedback
• Personal testing and experience when feasible
• Assessment of both benefits and potential drawbacks
• Comparison to alternative products in the same category
• Consideration of value, safety, and company reputation

However, you should be aware that products generating higher revenue for us may receive more favorable presentation, even when comparable alternatives exist.

Sponsored Content & Paid Placements

We regularly publish sponsored content, paid reviews, and receive compensation for featuring specific products and services. This compensation may take various forms including:

• Direct payment for publishing articles and reviews
• Revenue-sharing agreements based on sales generated
• Free products or services provided for review
• Ongoing retainer relationships with brands
• Equity or ownership stakes in featured companies

While we attempt to label clearly sponsored content, the line between sponsored and editorial content may not always be obvious. In many cases, products that we have affiliate relationships with or ownership interests in will appear in articles that are not explicitly labeled as sponsored, but financial incentives still influence their inclusion and presentation.

How Affiliate Links Are Used

When you see a link to a product on Healthy Pound, it may contain special tracking codes (such as UTM parameters or affiliate IDs). These codes allow us to earn a commission if you make a purchase. You will never pay more by using our links—in fact, we often negotiate exclusive discounts for our readers.

Affiliate links may appear in:

• Product review articles
• Comparison guides
• Resource pages
• Call-to-action buttons
• Email newsletters

Your Trust Matters

The income generated from affiliate commissions helps us maintain this website, conduct thorough product testing, and continue providing free, valuable content to our readers. We are grateful for your support when you choose to purchase through our links.

However, we want to be clear: you are never obligated to use our affiliate links. You are free to search for products independently and purchase them directly from manufacturers or other retailers.

Product Recommendations

We only recommend products and services that we believe will add value to our readers' lives. Our recommendations are based on:

• Personal testing and experience
• Scientific research and evidence
• Ingredient quality and safety
• Customer reviews and feedback
• Value for money
• Company reputation and customer service

Updates to This Disclosure

We may update this disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our affiliate relationships or legal requirements. We encourage you to review this page periodically. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the disclosure was last revised.
