Transparency
Editorial Policy
How we research, source, and present compound information — and how affiliate and referral relationships work.
Our Research Process
STACKWELL compounds are researched using peer-reviewed scientific literature, clinical trial databases (PubMed, Europe PMC, ClinicalTrials.gov), and established pharmacological references. Every compound page displays an evidence level (high, moderate, emerging, or anecdotal) so you can assess the strength of the science behind it.
Evidence Transparency
We do not hide weak evidence. If a compound has only anecdotal or emerging evidence, we say so. Our evidence levels are derived from study type, sample size, replication, and clinical consensus — not from marketing claims.
Affiliate & Referral Links
Some links on STACKWELL compound pages are affiliate or referral links. This means STACKWELL may earn a commission or referral fee if you click through and make a purchase or sign up for a service. These links are always labeled 'Sponsored' or 'Affiliate link.' Affiliate relationships do not influence our evidence ratings, risk classifications, or compound descriptions.
How We Choose Vendors & Partners
Vendors and referral partners are evaluated for product quality, third-party testing, customer service, and regulatory compliance. We prioritize partners who provide lab testing certificates, transparent pricing, and responsive support. We may remove vendors who fail to maintain these standards.
Clinic Referrals
For compounds that require a prescription or medical supervision (such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, or TRT), STACKWELL partners with licensed telehealth clinics. These partners provide medical evaluation, prescription, and ongoing monitoring. STACKWELL receives a referral fee — the cost to you is the same as visiting the clinic directly.
Editorial Independence
Our content team is separate from our partnerships team. Evidence ratings, risk classifications, and compound descriptions are written based on the science — not on whether a vendor pays a commission. We will publish critical information about a compound even if it may reduce affiliate revenue.
Not Medical Advice
STACKWELL is an educational platform. Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any new compound, protocol, or supplement — especially if you have pre-existing conditions or take prescription medications.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Editorial Policy as our platform evolves. Material changes will be noted on this page with an updated date. If you have questions about our editorial standards or affiliate relationships, please contact us.
