At Rated Best 5, transparency, honesty, and trust are our top priorities. Because we review health and wellness supplements, we believe you deserve full transparency regarding how this website is funded and operates.
Please read this Affiliate Disclosure carefully. It explains our relationship with affiliate networks and how it impacts the content you read on rb5.com.
🔗 What Are Affiliate Links?
Throughout the articles, reviews, and guides on Rated Best 5, you will frequently see links pointing to external websites where you can purchase the supplements we discuss. Many of these links are affiliate links.
An affiliate link is a special tracking URL. If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, Rated Best 5 earns a small commission from the vendor or affiliate network.
This comes at absolutely NO extra cost to you. The price you pay for the supplement is exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or navigate directly to the vendor’s website. In some cases, our affiliate links may even provide you with a special discount code or promotional price that we have negotiated for our readers.
💡 Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running a comprehensive, deeply researched review website requires significant time, energy, and resources.
As a full-time blogger and researcher, I (Estell Marquardt) dedicate countless hours to investigating ingredients, analyzing customer feedback, and compiling the “Rated Best 5” lists for niches like brain health, back pain, and weight loss. The small commissions earned through affiliate links allow me to:
- Keep rb5.com completely free for all readers.
- Cover the costs of website hosting, security, and maintenance.
- Dedicate my full-time efforts to providing high-quality, entrusted rating content.
🛡️ Our Commitment to Editorial Independence
One of the most common questions we receive is: “Do these commissions influence your reviews?”
The answer is a definitive NO.
My goal is to provide honest, informational content based strictly on my personal opinions and independent research. Here is how we separate our earnings from our editorial process:
| Our Promise | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Unbiased Ratings | A supplement cannot “buy” its way onto a Rated Best 5 list. Products are ranked based on their formula, brand reputation, and real user feedback. |
| Honest Pros & Cons | Even if we are affiliated with a product, we will always highlight its drawbacks, potential side effects, or who it is not suitable for. |
| No Sponsored Placements | We do not accept direct payments from supplement companies to write falsely positive reviews. Our content is written strictly from the perspective of an independent researcher. |
| Consumer-First Approach | If a highly popular supplement has a poor formula or terrible customer service, we will state that clearly, regardless of affiliate potential. |
