Our Commitment to Transparency
At HerbzWay.com, we believe in complete honesty and transparency with our readers. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how we earn income, and our commitment to providing unbiased, helpful information regardless of potential earnings.
What Are Affiliate Links?
HerbzWay participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a commission.
Here’s how it works:
- You click a product link on HerbzWay
- You’re taken to the retailer’s website (like Amazon or iHerb)
- You make a purchase (of anything, not just the linked product)
- The retailer pays us a small commission
- You pay the exact same price — zero extra cost to you
Important: The commission comes from the retailer’s marketing budget, NOT from you. Your purchase price is identical whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.

Our Core Values
Transparency First
We believe in being upfront about how we make money. Affiliate marketing allows us to provide free, valuable content while earning income to support the site.
Trust Over Profit
Your trust is more valuable than any commission. We’d rather recommend nothing than recommend something subpar for money.
Educational Mission
Our primary goal is to provide accurate, helpful information about herbal supplements and natural health. Affiliate income supports this mission but doesn’t drive it.
Community Service
We see ourselves as serving our community of readers. Your health and satisfaction matter more than our bottom line.
