Affiliate Disclosure

How We Earn Revenue
Formulate is a free tool. We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships with retailers like Amazon and iHerb. When you click a product link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Scores Are Independent
Our supplement scores are calculated using an automated, evidence-based scoring engine. Affiliate relationships have zero influence on scores. Products are scored before any purchase links are added. A product with no affiliate link receives the same scoring treatment as one with a link.
What This Means for You
- You never pay more by using our links.
- We recommend products based on evidence, not affiliate payouts.
- Low-scoring products are shown with the same purchase links as high-scoring ones — we do not hide products to push affiliate sales.
- Not every product has an affiliate link. Our catalog includes products regardless of whether we have a commercial relationship with the retailer.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. We believe in full transparency about how we fund this project.
