Affiliate links
Three suppliers are linked on this site: ZestyRat Research, Amino Club and Swiss Chems. Links to them are affiliate links, and the codes SHAUN10 (ZestyRat), SHAUN22 (Amino Club) and UNCAGED (Swiss Chems) are affiliate codes. If you buy through them I earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra; in both cases the code gets you a discount.
Every page that carries one of those links says so on that page. I don't hide it in a footer and hope.
What it doesn't change
The evidence. I write down what was tested and what happened before I write down where we order. On most pages, the compound in question has little or no human evidence, and I say so about the exact products my own supplier sells. If the commission were writing the site, those pages would read very differently.
What this site is not
- Not a store. Nothing is sold here.
- Not a clinic. No consults, no prescriptions, no plans.
- Not medical advice. The compounds discussed are sold as research materials and are not FDA-approved for the uses people talk about. I do not tell anyone what to take. Please talk to a clinician who knows your history and your medications, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, on hormone therapy or on any prescription.
Standards I hold every page to
- Human trials, animal studies, cell-culture work and marketing are labelled as what they are, never blended.
- When a study's authors sell the ingredient, or a trial's sponsor sells the drug, I say so.
- When a trial ended and never posted results, I say that, because it's usually the most decision-relevant fact available.
- Negative findings get published. So do the forum comments where nothing happened.
- Nobody in my group is named, photographed or quoted. Observations are mine, about behaviour only — who ordered, who reordered, who read the paperwork — never about a health outcome.
- No doses. Ever.
