Affiliate Disclosure

At Distilled Science we help people optimize their lives using well-researched, science-backed tools and techniques.

We believe one way to optimize your lifestyle is not ignoring easy opportunities to get paid for your efforts. It's what we teach, and it's what we practice. So let's talk about affiliate links.

Affiliate links

Sometimes when we recommend a product, we'll link to the company's website using what's known as an affiliate or referral link. If you end up buying a product you found via our link, we get a commission from the vendor as a small "thank you."

Sometimes that commission is just a few dollars; sometimes a little more. Sometimes it's one-time; sometimes it's a rolling commission — so if you sign up for a monthly subscription, we might get a slice of that monthly fee.

Here's the important thing: that referral doesn't cost you a penny. The entire commission comes out of the vendor's pocket, not yours.

And it goes without saying that we'll never recommend a product simply because it pays us a commission — that would be sleazy. We only recommend products we've personally used or that come highly recommended by trusted peers.

So you can easily tell when we're using an affiliate link, we'll put (affiliate link) close by it. It's possible older posts didn't mark links as clearly, so the safest assumption is that any time we link to a third-party product, we might get a small commission.

All good? Great.
