Our Commitment to Transparency
The Counter Check may earn a commission when you purchase a product through certain links on this website. These are known as affiliate links, and they allow us to support the ongoing work of researching, writing, and maintaining this website at no additional cost to you.
Do Affiliate Links Influence Our Content?
No.
Affiliate partnerships do not determine what we write about, which products we recommend, or the conclusions we reach. Every article is written independently, and any recommendations are based on our own research, evaluation, and editorial judgment.
If a product doesn’t meet our standards or we don’t believe it adds value to our readers, we won’t recommend it simply because it has an affiliate program.
Our Review Philosophy
Whenever we review or recommend a product, our goal is to help readers make informed decisions—not to encourage unnecessary purchases.
We consider factors such as available evidence, quality, ingredients, safety, value, and how appropriate a product may be for different people. We also discuss limitations whenever they’re relevant, because no product is the right choice for everyone.
No Pay-for-Positive Reviews
The Counter Check does not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews or favorable recommendations.
If we receive a product for evaluation or publish sponsored content in the future, it will always be clearly disclosed. Sponsorships, free products, or affiliate partnerships will never influence our editorial decisions.
Putting Education First
The Counter Check was built to educate first.
If an article includes affiliate links, they’re there to support the content—not to shape it. Our commitment is, and always will be, to provide honest, balanced information that helps readers make informed decisions about their health.
