Why Supplement Hype exists

The supplement web is mostly affiliate marketing wearing a lab coat — "best methylene blue of 2026," "pharmacist-approved dosing." The recommendation usually follows the commission. Supplement Hype is the opposite bet: set the evidence grade first, in public, with sources — and let the money come second, if at all.

Who makes the grades

Supplement Hype is published by Supplement Hype Editorial. Grades are compiled from the primary human literature — systematic reviews and meta-analyses first, then randomized trials, then reputable aggregators like Examine.com and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements — and written up with AI assistance and human editorial review. We are transparent about that process on purpose: we don't claim to be your doctor, and we don't invent credentials. What we commit to is that every claim is sourced, dated, and checkable, and that safety-critical entries are flagged clearly.

We'd rather earn trust by being checkable than by name-dropping authority. Every grade links to the evidence so you can verify it yourself — and tell us where we're wrong at hello@supplementhype.com.

How we make money

In priority order, and never in a way that touches a grade:

1. Affiliate links — only to third-party-tested products, disclosed every time. The grade is set before any product is attached and never changes based on whether a product pays.
2. Sponsored verification — a brand can pay to have a product independently lab-tested and listed. That buys testing and a listing. It cannot buy a better grade, and the sponsorship is labelled.
3. Later, maybe — a "build my stack" tool or a paid deep report. Same rule applies.

We do not run display ads, sell your data, or let any commercial relationship influence a grade.

Conflict-of-interest policy

• Grades are set from the evidence before any affiliate or sponsor relationship exists.
• No advertiser, affiliate, or sponsor sees or influences a grade before publication.
• Affiliate links are disclosed at the point of the link and in the footer site-wide.
• Sponsored content is labelled as sponsored, and sponsorship never alters a grade or claim.
• Where evidence is industry-funded (common for collagen and ashwagandha), we say so in the claim note.
• When the evidence changes, the grade changes — and the review date updates.

What we are not

We are not a medical provider and this is not medical advice. We report the state of evidence and grade claims; we don't tell you what to take or give personalized dosing. For anything involving a medication, a condition, or pregnancy, talk to a qualified professional. Full disclaimer →
