Affiliate disclosure
Carnosine Queen is an independent affiliate site operated by Gracie. This page explains, in plain language, exactly how this site makes money and what that means for you.
The short version
As an affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases made through links on this site. When you click a buy button here and complete a purchase at the official retailer, I may receive a commission on that sale. The price you pay is not increased by using my link.
What an affiliate relationship is
An affiliate is an independent promoter, not a reseller. I do not hold inventory, process payments, ship orders, or handle returns. Every purchase is completed on the official retailer's own store, under their terms, their pricing, and their customer service.
This site exists to explain the science behind carnosine, to publish links to primary research, and to help you decide whether a topical carnosine product is right for you. The commission is how that work is funded.
How I decide what to recommend
I only promote products I have used personally and whose underlying science I can point to in the peer-reviewed literature. A commission has never been the reason a product appears on this site, and no brand pays for placement, ranking, or a favourable description here.
If I stop believing in a product, I remove it — regardless of what it earns.
Where disclosure appears
A disclosure strip appears under the header on every page of this site. A disclosure also appears directly beneath every buy button and in the site footer. Outbound affiliate links are marked with the rel attribute values recommended for sponsored links.
Regulatory basis
This disclosure is provided in the spirit of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, which require clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections between an endorser and a seller.
