Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026 · Written in plain English, as the FTC intends.

Here's the short version: The Peptide Vault contains affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you buy through them — at no additional cost to you.

Now the details, because you deserve them.

What an affiliate link is

Some of the vendor links on this site are "affiliate" links. If you click one and then make a purchase, the vendor pays us a small commission for referring you. You pay exactly the same price you would have paid otherwise — sometimes less, when a link includes a discount code. The commission comes out of the vendor's margin, not your pocket.

Which links are affiliate links

Any link labeled "Shop," any button styled as a call-to-action, and any coupon code on a vendor review page should be assumed to be an affiliate link. Currently, our active affiliate partners may include vendors such as Helixion Labs and PureRx Peptides. Purely educational links — to research papers, reference material, or our own articles — are not affiliate links.

How it affects what we write (it doesn't)

This is the part that matters most. An affiliate relationship never buys a favorable review. Our verdicts are based on documentation quality — Certificates of Analysis, third-party testing, batch-specific lot tracking, and community track record. A vendor either clears that bar or it doesn't, regardless of whether we earn a commission.

If a partner vendor has a weakness — a missing mass-spectrometry result, a thin track record, a documentation gap — we tell you plainly, in the same review that contains the affiliate link. If we ever couldn't recommend a vendor honestly, we wouldn't run their link at all.

Why we use affiliate links at all

Independent research and hands-on CoA verification cost time and money. Affiliate commissions fund that work and keep this site free to read, with no paywall and no sponsored-content masquerading as journalism. It's the model that lets us stay independent instead of being owned by any single vendor.

FTC compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255: Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising. We disclose our affiliate relationships clearly and conspicuously so you can weigh them when reading our recommendations.
