Who funds us, the relationships we have, and why none of it can move a reliability score or change what we publish.
The Health Stacks is funded by affiliate commissions. Our single revenue source today is our partner peptgenx.com — you’ll see aff=ths on our “Where to Buy” links, which earns us a commission when you purchase, at no extra cost to you. As we add affiliate partners, we’ll name them on this page. There is no other funding, investment, sponsorship, or advertising.
Beyond the peptgenx affiliate program, we have no business relationships with any peptide supplier, vendor, clinic, or compounding pharmacy — no equity, no ownership, no paid placement, no consulting arrangements. If that ever changes, it goes here first.
Every claim on this site is drawn from public information on the open internet — studies, regulator pages, reference articles, and community reports — not from anything a partner gives us. And the reliability score on each claim is computed from the source’s domain tier in code: a vendor’s product page can never score as research, no matter who the vendor is. The ceiling is set by where a source was published, not by an editor a partner could lobby. There is no manual dial.
