Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
Collagenium is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission at no additional cost to you. This helps us continue to provide free, high-quality content.
How We Make Money
Collagenium is a free resource dedicated to helping you make informed decisions about collagen supplements and related health products. To keep our site running and continue providing valuable content, we participate in affiliate marketing programs.
When you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. This commission comes at no extra cost to you—the price you pay remains the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Our Affiliate Partners
We participate in the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through our Amazon links.
- iHerb: We are an iHerb affiliate and may earn commissions on purchases made through our iHerb links.
- Direct Brand Partnerships: Some brands offer their own affiliate programs, and we may participate in these when we review or recommend their products.
Our Editorial Independence
Our reviews and recommendations are not influenced by affiliate partnerships. We follow strict editorial guidelines to ensure our content remains honest, accurate, and helpful.
Here's how we maintain editorial integrity:
- Honest Reviews: We provide balanced reviews that include both pros and cons. We will never recommend a product solely because it offers a higher commission.
- Research-Based Content: Our articles are based on scientific research, expert opinions, and real user experiences—not marketing claims.
- Transparency: We clearly disclose affiliate relationships and never hide the fact that we may earn commissions.
- No Pay-for-Play: Companies cannot pay for positive reviews or higher rankings on our site.
How Affiliate Links Work
Affiliate links contain special tracking codes that identify Collagenium as the referral source. When you click on an affiliate link:
- You're taken to the retailer's website (like Amazon or iHerb)
- A cookie is placed on your device to track the referral
- If you make a purchase within the cookie window (usually 24 hours to 30 days), we receive a commission
- You pay the same price as if you'd visited the retailer directly
Identifying Affiliate Links
We strive to be transparent about which links are affiliate links. Generally, any link to an external retailer or product page may be an affiliate link. Our "Buy" or "Check Price" buttons typically contain affiliate tracking.
Your Choice Matters
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. If you prefer not to support us through affiliate purchases, you can:
- Search for products directly on retailer websites
- Use the product names from our reviews to find items
- Clear your cookies before making purchases
We appreciate readers who choose to support us through affiliate links—it helps us keep Collagenium free and allows us to continue creating helpful content.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. The FTC requires that material connections between endorsers and advertisers be disclosed.
