How we make money, in plain English.
The short version: some of the links in our shop are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we get a small commission and you pay exactly what you would have paid anyway. Here is the longer version, including the parts most sites don't print.
The short version.
- Some links are ads. When you click certain links to a retailer and buy something, that retailer pays The Reset Edit a commission. Those links are advertising, and we label the pages they appear on as such at the top, before you reach any recommendation.
- You never pay more. The price is the same whether you use our link or type the retailer's address yourself. Commission comes out of the retailer's margin, not your pocket.
- We are not paid to recommend anything. No brand pays us to appear, and no brand sees a page before it goes live. Nobody has ever paid us for a placement, and if that ever changed we would say so on the page itself, not here.
- We don't take free products in exchange for coverage. If we ever accept a sample, the item will say so on its own card.
- You can ignore all of it. Every product we recommend can be found by searching for it. The links are a convenience, not a condition.
Who pays us, specifically.
We work with three affiliate networks. Each one connects us to different retailers.
- Amazon Associates (UK and US). Links to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. We hold separate accounts for the UK and US stores, and our UK and US pages link to the corresponding store.
- Sovrn Commerce. Connects us to a range of retailers, and can also convert an ordinary retailer link into a commissionable one automatically. That last point matters, so we've explained it below.
- AWIN. Connects us to individual brands' own affiliate programmes, mostly direct-to-consumer retailers.
Sovrn's software can turn a plain link into an affiliate link automatically, without us adding anything. In practice this means a retailer link somewhere on this site may be commissionable even though it wasn't placed as an advert. We treat every outbound retailer link as though it earns us something, and we disclose accordingly — which is why the notice appears at the top of the page rather than beside individual links.
How we choose what to recommend.
Every product is scored out of 100 before it reaches a page: whether it solves a real named problem (25), likely quality and usefulness (20), the consistency of independent reviews (15), the reputation of the brand or retailer (10), value at its price (10), local availability and returns (10), safety and claim integrity (5), and whether an affiliate link exists at all (5). Anything below 75 is cut.
Affiliate availability is the smallest weight in that list, and it is applied last, after every judgement about whether something is any good has already been made. Commission rates differ between retailers and categories and we have no control over them, so we do not let them enter the decision.
The most honest evidence of how we handle this isn't a paragraph on this page. It's the section on every shop page listing the categories we refuse to sell. Several of them pay well.
- We do not claim to have tested products we haven't tested. Where we say something works, we're pointing at published research, independent testing, regulator guidance, or a consistent pattern across reviews — and we name which of those it is.
- We do not publish prices or star ratings. They change too fast for us to keep accurate, and Amazon's terms restrict republishing their pricing and review data outside their approved feeds. We use price bands instead, and record the underlying detail privately with the date it was last checked.
- We do not use retailers' product images. Amazon's programme policies don't permit publishers to store or self-host their product images, so our product cards are deliberately text-led rather than showing you something we're not licensed to show.
- Health and safety claims are checked against primary sources — the NHS, MHRA and NICE in the UK, the FDA, CDC and NIH in the US, and the manufacturer's own documentation — never against the seller's marketing copy.
- We correct things. If we get something wrong, we fix it and say what changed.
What we will not do.
- Recommend something because it pays. If it isn't the right answer, it isn't on the page, and the commission is irrelevant.
- Claim a product treats, prevents or cures anything. None of them do. We are not clinicians and this site is not medical advice.
- Sell against fear. No urgency, no invented scarcity, no countdown timers, no suggestion that you're falling behind.
- Sell anything that supports unsupervised medical dosing. No syringes, no vials, no bacteriostatic water, in either country.
- Promote, supply or endorse prescription medication. The Reset Edit does not supply, prescribe, endorse or encourage the use of any prescription medicine, and is not affiliated with any pharmaceutical company.
- Pad a page to look comprehensive. Where a collection doesn't have enough genuinely good products behind it, we publish fewer, or none.
How the links are marked.
On every page carrying affiliate links you'll find, before you reach any recommendation:
- A notice headed “Advertising · Affiliate links”, at the top of the page.
- The wording “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases” wherever Amazon links appear.
- A “Paid link” marker beside every product button.
Technically, affiliate links carry rel="sponsored nofollow" so search engines can identify them as paid placements, and they open in a new tab so you don't lose your place.
We don't rely on this page or the footer alone to tell you a page contains advertising. Both UK and US guidance are clear that a disclosure buried in a footer or a linked policy page isn't good enough, and we agree with them.
Cookies, tracking and your data.
When you click an affiliate link, the network sets a cookie in your browser so the retailer knows the visit came from us. That cookie is how commission gets attributed, and it typically lasts anywhere from twenty-four hours to thirty days depending on the network.
We don't receive your name, your address, your payment details, or a list of what you bought. What comes back to us is aggregate: a number of clicks, a number of orders, and a commission total. Full detail of how we handle data is in our privacy policy.
Where this sits alongside everything else.
- Our own products — guides, books, systems and trackers — are made by us and we keep the revenue. They are not affiliate products and we don't pretend otherwise.
- Our free resources are genuinely free and don't require a purchase.
- Our journals carry no affiliate links. Editorial and commerce stay in separate places deliberately, so that a piece of writing never has to justify a product.
- Third-party affiliate products live in the shop, clearly labelled, and only ever as an option.
Questions, corrections or complaints.
If you think we've recommended something we shouldn't have, missed a disclosure, or got a fact wrong, please tell us and we will look at it properly. That includes telling us if you simply think a recommendation is bad — we would rather know.
