Short version: some links on this site earn me a small commission if you buy something through them. It never costs you extra, and it never decides what I recommend. Here’s the full picture.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a regular product link with a tracking tag attached. If you click one and make a purchase, the retailer pays this site a small percentage of the sale. The price you pay is exactly the same either way.
How This Site Uses Them
Healthy Boulder Kids 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, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Over time, this site may also partner with other affiliate programs relevant to family health and nutrition — for example supplement retailers, meal-planning apps, or parental-control tools. Any active partnership will be disclosed here and marked on the page where it appears.
What It Means for You
- You never pay more. Commissions come out of the retailer’s margin, not your pocket.
- You’ll always see it labeled. Amazon links carry a visible #ad tag; other affiliate links may be marked “affiliate link,” “Sponsored,” or “(paid link).”
- Where disclosures appear: at the top of every article containing affiliate links, and at the top of the Resources page.
Editorial Independence
Nobody pays to be recommended on this site. Products earn their spot by ingredients, research fit, and whether I’d genuinely put them in front of my own kid — several posts recommend options with no affiliate link at all where that’s the honest answer. If a company sent a free product or sponsored content, that would be labeled clearly on the specific post. Commissions keep the site running; they don’t write it.
FTC Compliance
These disclosures follow the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and material connections. You can read them yourself at the FTC’s official endorsement guide.
