How We Make Money
Peak Health Stack is a free resource. This page explains honestly how we fund the site and how our commercial relationships work — because transparency about this is something we think every health website should provide.
Affiliate Links
The primary way Peak Health Stack earns revenue is through affiliate links. When you click a link to a product on this site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or navigate to the retailer directly — the commission comes from the retailer’s margin, not from any increase in your cost.
We are a participant in the following affiliate programmes:
- Amazon Associates — We link to products on Amazon UK, Amazon US, and Amazon Ireland. Our Amazon Associates ID is peakhealthsta-20.
- Awin — We work with selected brands through the Awin affiliate network, including Myprotein.
- Individual brand programmes — We may participate in affiliate programmes run directly by specific brands where relevant products meet our editorial standards.
What Our Affiliate Relationships Do Not Do
Our affiliate relationships do not determine what we recommend. We do not recommend a product because it has a high commission rate. We do not exclude a product because it has no affiliate programme. We do not alter our evidence-based assessments based on whether a product is linked to an affiliate programme or not.
The practical test we apply: if a supplement has better evidence, better formulation, or better value than an alternative — regardless of affiliate status — it gets the recommendation. If a product is overpriced, poorly formulated, or has thin evidence, we say so even if it carries an affiliate link elsewhere on the site.
Advertising
Peak Health Stack does not currently run display advertising. We do not accept sponsored posts, paid placements, or paid reviews. If this changes, we will update this page and label sponsored content clearly.
Products and Digital Guides
Peak Health Stack also earns revenue by selling our own digital products, including evidence-based guides, workbooks, cheat sheets, templates and practical health resources.
These products are created to help readers go deeper than a single article. A blog post may explain the evidence around a topic, while a paid guide or workbook may provide a more structured system, comparison tables, checklists, printable pages, supplement timing guidance, tracking tools or step-by-step frameworks.
Examples of our own products may include:
- Supplement guides
- Women’s health guides
- Workbooks and trackers
- Cheat sheets and quick-reference resources
- Digital templates
- Premium educational resources
When we sell our own products, we make this clear. These products are not third-party sponsored placements. Revenue from our own guides helps fund the running of the site, research time, content production, design, software, hosting and ongoing updates.
Selling our own products does not change our editorial standards. We do not exaggerate claims, create false urgency or present a paid guide as a substitute for medical advice. Our products are designed to be educational, practical and evidence-informed. They are intended to help readers make more informed decisions, not to diagnose, treat or cure any medical condition.
Where a free resource is available, we may use it to introduce readers to our approach before offering related paid products. We think this is a fairer model than relying heavily on intrusive advertising or hidden commercial influence. Readers can use the free content, download free resources, or choose to buy a more detailed guide if they want extra structure and support.
For clarity: our own products may be recommended or linked within relevant articles where we believe they genuinely fit the topic. However, we aim to keep those recommendations clearly labelled and contextually useful rather than disguised as independent third-party product rankings.
Our Commitment
We believe the health information industry has a transparency problem. Too many sites present commercially motivated recommendations without disclosure. We are committed to being explicit about how we make money because we think it is essential for you to be able to evaluate the information we provide in the right context.
