At Nutrients Calculator, we believe in transparency and honesty. Our mission is to provide free, accessible nutrition analysis tools and high-quality health information. To maintain this website and keep our tools free for everyone, we use affiliate links to earn a small commission on products we recommend.
This page explains exactly how our affiliate relationships work and what they mean for you.
1. Amazon Associates Disclosure
NutrientsCalculator.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
- As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
- This means if you click a link on our site leading to Amazon and make a purchase (such as a kitchen scale or supplement), we may receive a small commission.
- This comes at NO extra cost to you. The price remains the same whether you use our link or not.
2. General Affiliate Disclosure
In addition to Amazon, we participate in various other affiliate marketing programs (such as Impact, ShareASale, and direct brand partnerships). This allows us to recommend specific high-quality products like glucose monitors, gut health tests, and meal prep services.
If we link to a product, please assume that:
- We may receive a commission if you buy it.
- We have verified the product’s quality or relevance to our audience.
- Our editorial content is not influenced by these partnerships. We recommend products because they solve a problem, not just because they pay a commission.
3. Our Product Vetting Process
Trust is our most valuable asset. We do not accept payment to write positive reviews for bad products.
- Data-Driven: Where possible, we use our own AI tools and nutritional data to verify claims made by food or supplement brands.
- Real Usage: We prioritize recommending tools (like digital scales or tracking apps) that we have personally tested or that are highly rated by the community.
4. Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running a website involving Artificial Intelligence (Vision AI) and hosting large datasets costs money. Instead of hiding our content behind a paywall or cluttering the interface with aggressive pop-up ads, we rely on affiliate commissions to cover:
- Server and hosting costs.
- API usage fees for our AI Calculator.
- Development costs to improve the tool.
