Our Commitment to Transparency
Starting My Research is committed to providing objective, evidence-based educational content for the peptide research community.
In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, this page explains how affiliate relationships may affect certain links appearing on our website.
We believe readers deserve complete transparency regarding how this website is funded and how we maintain editorial independence.
Affiliate Relationships
Some links on StartingMyResearch.com are affiliate links.
This means that if you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase or complete a qualifying action, we may receive a commission, referral fee, or other form of compensation from the affiliated company.
There is no additional cost to you when using affiliate links.
In many cases, affiliate partnerships may provide readers with special discounts, promotional offers, or exclusive benefits that would not otherwise be available.
How We Select Recommended Sources
Starting My Research does not accept payment in exchange for favorable reviews, scientific conclusions, or editorial recommendations.
Sources featured on our website are evaluated based on factors such as:
- Third-party testing standards
- Certificate of Analysis (COA) availability
- Batch transparency
- Quality-control procedures
- Industry reputation

Affiliate status alone does not determine whether a company is featured on our website.
Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships do not influence:
- Scientific analysis
- Research conclusions
- Study interpretations
- Safety discussions
- Quality evaluations
- Educational content
Our editorial process remains independent regardless of whether a company participates in an affiliate program.
If available evidence does not support a claim, we will say so, regardless of any affiliate relationship.
Likewise, if concerns arise regarding a recommended source, we reserve the right to update, revise, or remove references at any time.

The presence of an affiliate link should not be interpreted as:
- Medical advice
- Product endorsement
- Safety certification
- Regulatory approval
- Recommendation for human use
- Guarantee of effectiveness or quality
Researchers are solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence before purchasing any products or engaging with any supplier.
