We may earn a commission when you use a link, but that payment never decides what we review or how we rank it.

Our affiliate disclosure policy

You should know when a link helps pay for PeriProof. That is the short version. We may earn a commission when you click one of our affiliate links or buy something after clicking one. The price you pay does not change because of that commission.

This is an affiliate disclosure policy for people who are tired of guessing whether a recommendation is actually a recommendation. It also means we owe you a clear account of how the money works, where the disclosure appears, and what the money cannot buy.

What an affiliate link is

An affiliate link is a link that includes a tracking code. If you use it to visit a retailer or brand and make a qualifying purchase, the company may pay PeriProof a commission. The amount can vary by product, program, or order.

Affiliate links are a convenience, not a verdict. We do not treat a commission as proof that a product is effective, safe for you, or worth your money. A higher commission does not make a product rank higher. A lower commission does not make a product rank lower.

Where the disclosure appears

We disclose the affiliate relationship before the link, close enough that you do not have to guess. On a product or comparison page, the disclosure sits after the useful details and the honest downside. It does not wait until the bottom of the page, and it never replaces a product’s drawbacks with a sales pitch.

If a link is not approved and verified for a page, we leave it out. There is no affiliate link just because a brand is familiar or a retailer happens to have a convenient tracking program.

How we choose what to review

We start with the reader’s question, not a commission report. A product may make the list because it is relevant to perimenopause, because readers are comparing a recurring cost or ingredient dose, or because there is a meaningful claim worth checking. It may also make the list to explain why we would skip it.

Once a product is in scope, we look at the label, current price, available evidence, safety information, and the practical questions that come with buying it. We ask what is known, what is uncertain, and what could go wrong. The how we verify receipts page explains the evidence and source checks behind that work.

The selection criteria are set before we consider earnings. We do not accept payment to change a verdict, remove a warning, improve a rank, or write around a lack of evidence. Our editorial policy and standards describe the rules we use for research, wording, and updates.

The part that money cannot change

Commission does not decide rankings.

A product can be useful, well priced, and poorly supported. It can have an attractive subscription and an inconvenient cancellation process. It can have a familiar label and a dose that does not match the evidence. We say so. The fact that we might earn a commission does not turn a weak case into a strong one.

We also avoid claims that a supplement diagnoses, treats, or replaces medical care. PeriProof is a research and comparison resource, not a doctor or a substitute for advice from a qualified clinician who knows your history. Keep that boundary in view, especially when a product involves hormone-sensitive symptoms, medications, pregnancy, or a health condition.

A simple rule for you

Read the product details before the link. Look for the label, the real cost, the negative case, and the evidence. Check whether the product is right for the person you are, not just the promise on the front of the bottle. If a page leaves a question unanswered, we would rather point you to how we verify receipts than hide the gap.
