Conflicts & Disclosure Policy
How we handle money, conflicts of interest, editorial decisions, and mistakes. Every financial relationship and editorial firewall documented here.
Affiliate relationships
We currently participate in the following affiliate programmes:
| Programme | Commission range | Influences scores? |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Associates | 3–10% | Never |
| iHerb Partner Programme | 5–8% | Never |
| Healthkart Partner Programme | 4–7% | Never |
The editorial firewall — exactly how it works
- Step 1: Product selected based on market relevance, reader requests, or category gaps — not affiliate potential
- Step 2: Reviewer evaluates against the published rubric without knowing affiliate status
- Step 3: Scored review submitted to editorial and approved
- Step 4: Only after approval, publisher applies affiliate links where applicable
- Step 5: Scores frozen. Post-publication changes require a documented reason in the public changelog and full re-evaluation
What we do not accept
- Paid reviews or sponsored product evaluations of any kind
- Free products supplied by brands in exchange for coverage
- Guest posts with backlink requirements
- Brand-supplied "expert quotes" for publication under the Fitlab byline
- Display advertising within or adjacent to review scores
- Requests from brands to alter, soften, or retract a published score
Conflict of interest — personal holdings
The Fitlab Reviews editorial team holds no equity stake in any supplement brand reviewed on this site. Reviewers must disclose any personal or professional relationship with a brand before assignment and are recused from that evaluation.
Correction policy
- Corrections made within 72 hours of a verified error being identified
- Every correction logged in our public changelog with a dated note
- No silent edits to scored content — all changes are traceable
- Score changes due to corrections are clearly marked as revised
To report a factual error: contact form — select "Correction or factual issue". We acknowledge within 48 hours.
