Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure
Some pages contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Google-served display advertising is not currently enabled. Any future advertisements will be identified as advertising and will not determine what we write, rate, or conclude.
The Short Version
- 🛒 We link generic product categories — "adjustable dumbbells," "rolled oats" — not specific brands, and we accept no payment for placement or ranking.
- 💰 Commissions come from two networks: Amazon (via the Amazon Associates program) and iHerb (via CJ Affiliate).
- 🧾 As an Amazon Associate, this site earns from qualifying purchases.
- 🔒 Editorial independence is structural: product picks are generated from what an article's own evidence text already supports, capped at three per page, and every card carries its own caution line.
Display Advertising
Google-served display advertisements are not currently active on this site. If that changes, advertising creatives will be selected independently of our editorial process. An advertisement appearing beside an article is not a medical recommendation or an endorsement by The Longevity Ladder. Advertisers do not choose our topics, control our article copy, or influence evidence ratings, product assessments, or conclusions. Advertising revenue and affiliate commissions are separate commercial relationships. We will update this disclosure and the Privacy Policy before enabling display ads.
How Products Get Picked
Every product card on this site traces back to the article it appears on. Our internal inventory maps products to pages only when the article's body text already discusses the practice or item in a practical, non-promotional way — a page about psyllium is the only kind of page that shows a psyllium card. Pages about screening, medications, red-flag symptoms, or clinical handoffs carry no products at all.
- 🎯 Tier 1 — the product is directly named or demonstrated in the article body.
- 🛠️ Tier 2 — the product directly enables a behavior the article teaches.
- 🔭 Tier 3 — broader relevance only; never treated as an endorsement.
Product cards carry a one-line benefit and a caution line (risks, interactions, or individual-variation notes). Nothing on this site is a treatment claim, and no product is presented as preventing, curing, or reversing any disease.
What We Don't Do
- 🚫 No paid product placements or sponsored editorial content. Google-served display advertising is not currently active; any future ads will be labeled and kept distinct from editorial recommendations.
- 🚫 No "best product" rankings — links go to plain category searches.
- 🚫 No commissions on sauna or cold-exposure gear, hearing aids, or medical devices.
- 🚫 No affiliate links on relationships, medication, or clinical-decision pages.
Questions
If anything about a product placement seems off, tell us — contact page. Evidence conclusions can and do change, and a product that no longer matches an article's evidence gets removed, not monetized harder.
