Advertising disclosure

Plainly Well is funded by advertising. This page explains exactly what that means, in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.

Advertorials

Some articles on this site are advertorials: paid advertisements written in article form for a specific advertiser. Every one of them carries the word Advertorial in prominent lettering at the very top of the page, above the headline, before you read anything else.

Affiliate commissions

When an article links to a product, that link is usually an affiliate link. If you buy something after clicking it, we receive a commission from the merchant. The price you pay is not affected. That commercial relationship is a material connection, and we disclose it on every page where it applies.

What the commission does not buy

Advertisers do not get to invent facts. Health claims we publish are limited to what the product's own label states and what the cited research supports. Where a study is cited, we link to the journal page so you can read it yourself.

Testimonials

Where a customer testimonial appears, we disclose whether the person was compensated, and we state that individual results vary and are not necessarily typical.

Not medical advice

No article on this site — paid or unpaid — is medical advice. Statements about dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, and supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
