You deserve to know exactly how this site works, how we make money, and what rules we follow when creating content. This page covers all of it.
How We Make Money
NewEasternHealth.com earns revenue through affiliate partnerships. When you click certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer or service provider. This costs you nothing extra — the price you pay is identical whether you use our link or go directly to the seller.
Our affiliate relationships include supplement brands, telehealth platforms, wellness device manufacturers, and other health-related product and service providers.
How Affiliate Relationships Affect Our Content
They don’t. That’s not a slogan — it’s a structural commitment.
Our editorial analysis is completed before affiliate link placement is considered. We have published negative assessments of products with lucrative affiliate programs. We have published positive assessments of products that offer us no commission at all. The editorial conclusion drives the recommendation, never the other way around.
If we review a product and find the evidence doesn’t support its marketing claims, we say so — regardless of the financial relationship.
Our Research Standards
Sourcing. Every factual claim in our content is sourced from peer-reviewed research, manufacturer disclosures, regulatory filings, or other verifiable references. When we cannot verify a claim, we either exclude it or explicitly label it as unverified.
Study quality. We distinguish between different levels of evidence. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial is not the same as a cell-culture study or an animal model. We tell you what type of research supports a claim so you can weigh it appropriately.
Ingredient vs. product. Many supplement companies cite research on individual ingredients, not on their finished product. We flag this distinction every time. Research showing that “ingredient X” has a particular effect does not automatically mean that “Brand Y’s supplement containing ingredient X” will produce the same result. Dose, bioavailability, formulation quality, and co-ingredients all matter.
Conflicts of interest. When a study we cite was funded by the manufacturer of the product being studied, we disclose that. Industry-funded research isn’t automatically invalid, but you should know who paid for it.
What We Are Not
NewEasternHealth.com is not a medical practice, clinic, hospital, or healthcare provider. We do not employ physicians, nurses, acupuncturists, or any licensed clinical practitioners. Our content is not medical advice. Nothing on this site should be used as a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
We do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. If you are making health decisions — especially regarding medications, supplements that may interact with medications, or telehealth services — please consult your healthcare provider.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure page and our in-article disclosures are designed to comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255). We believe in clear, conspicuous, and honest communication about our financial relationships with the brands and services we cover.
Every article containing affiliate links includes a disclosure notice within the content itself, in addition to this sitewide standards page.
