Affiliate disclosure
Version 1.1Last updated: 16 August 2026
Electrolyte Nerd may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through retailer links, at no additional cost to you. Where applicable law requires disclosure of a commercial relationship, this page is it — and we also disclose next to each affiliate link itself.
Affiliate relationships do not determine our product data, verification or comparison methodology.
We may earn commissions
Some retailer links on Electrolyte Nerd are, or may become, affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission from that retailer or affiliate network at no additional cost to you.
Commissions are reported to us by the retailer or network. We never receive your payment details or order contents.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our data
Commercial relationships have no effect on any of the following:
- whether and how a product is verified;
- nutrition, ingredient, caffeine or composition data;
- search results and their order;
- comparison results;
- product rankings and category highlights;
- educational and editorial content.
No brand or retailer can pay to be included, ranked higher, presented more favourably, have its data changed, or have a competitor removed from a comparison. Results are ordered using the declared values in our database only.
Which kinds of programmes we may use
Affiliate relationships may include any of the following:
- Amazon Associates;
- direct brand affiliate programmes;
- affiliate networks (for example Awin, Impact, CJ, ShareASale);
- retailer referral programmes.
We only describe a programme as live once it has actually been approved. Commission rates, cookie durations and network details are internal business information and are not shown to visitors — a higher commission never means a better product, and we do not present it as one.
How to tell when a link is an affiliate link
Where a retailer link is an affiliate link, we show a plain-English disclosure directly next to that link — not only here or in the footer. The wording is:
Paid link — Electrolyte Nerd may earn a commission if you purchase through this link. This does not change the price you pay.
We also mark the link in the page markup using the standard sponsored attribute. Where we have no affiliate relationship with a retailer, we link to the ordinary retailer or brand page and say so.
We only apply affiliate markup when a partnership is genuinely live — a link is never presented as an affiliate link before the relevant programme has approved us.
Paid placements
We do not currently sell placements, sponsored positions or advertising within search or comparison results.
If that ever changes, any paid placement will be clearly labelled as “Sponsored”, “Advertisement” or “Paid placement”, and it will be visually separated from organic results. Paid content will never be mixed into organic comparison results without a clear label.
Amazon Associates
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Amazon purchase links also carry a disclosure next to the link itself. Amazon does not sponsor or endorse Electrolyte Nerd, and we are not affiliated with Amazon beyond participation in the Associates programme. We participate in accordance with Amazon's current Operating Agreement and Program Policies.
We do not scrape Amazon, and we do not copy Amazon prices, images, ratings, reviews or other programme content into our own database. Product data in our database comes from manufacturer-published sources only.
Product information is independently structured
Every nutrition, ingredient, caffeine and composition field is transcribed by us from a manufacturer-published primary source and recorded with a Last Verified date. Where a source does not publish a value we show “Not declared” rather than assuming zero.
Pricing is stored as a separate, time-sensitive layer. It never affects verified nutrition data, and we never estimate a price to fill a gap. See our methodology for the sourcing rules.
Retailer availability and pricing can change
Prices, pack sizes, servings per pack and stock status change frequently and can differ by region. Any price or cost per serving shown here is the figure we recorded when we last checked, not a live quote.
Always confirm the current price, pack size and label on the retailer's own page before buying. Purchases, shipping, returns and customer service are handled entirely by the retailer.
What we record when you click
When you click a retailer link we log the product, the retailer, whether the link was an affiliate link, the page it came from and the search query or intent behind it — with no personal identifiers. The retailer or network may separately set cookies to attribute a qualifying purchase. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
