The Peptide Addict
DISCLOSURE

Affiliate Disclosure

How The Peptide Addict handles commercial relationships. In plain English.

Current status

As of launch, The Peptide Addict has zero active affiliate relationships, sponsorships, or commercial arrangements with any peptide vendor, clinic, telehealth service, or supplier. None. This page will be updated the moment that changes.

Our rules

When The Peptide Addict does introduce affiliate relationships (planned for Phase 2 of the site, after trust-building is complete), they will operate under the following rules:

  1. Disclosure on every page. Any vendor we have a commercial relationship with is disclosed on every page that mentions them, with plain-English language — not footnote boilerplate.
  2. Sitewide disclosure page. This page will list every active commercial relationship with the specific terms described.
  3. Editorial ratings set before commercial terms. A vendor's score is determined before any commercial discussion. The score is fixed in our editorial records and cannot be adjusted upward based on affiliate terms.
  4. No retroactive score changes. If we already reviewed a vendor and later enter a commercial relationship, the existing score does not move. Period.
  5. Sponsored content is clearly labeled. If we ever publish sponsored editorial (category reports, deep dives funded by industry), it is labeled "sponsored" at the top, in the URL, and in the footer. No exceptions.
  6. Termination for influence attempts. Any vendor that attempts to influence a rating — through commercial terms, pressure, or otherwise — is disclosed publicly and the relationship is terminated.

Why this matters

Most peptide "review sites" are affiliate funnels that call themselves editorial. The highest-paying affiliate partners get the top rankings. The user has no way to tell which scores are real and which are paid.

The Peptide Addict's entire moat is the credibility of our editorial judgment. If our scores can be bought, the site has no reason to exist. We built the business model around that constraint.

That's why the scorecard on every compound profile is locked to the evidence, why the vendor review methodology is public, and why this page exists.

What you can report

If you see a The Peptide Addict page that mentions a vendor without a clear disclosure, tell us. We'll investigate and either add the disclosure (if we missed one) or correct the oversight publicly.

If you see editorial content that reads like promotional copy, tell us that too. Editorial drift is the thing we most need to catch early.

Last updated: at site launch. Will be dated and changelogged when the first commercial relationship enters the site.
