Funding and independence
Straight Up Peptides is independently operated. At launch, the site takes no money from vendors, suppliers, or commercial partners, and every commercial module is switched off.
Commercial modules: all off
The platform is built to support optional commercial modules later: direct sponsorship, affiliate links, telehealth sponsorship, newsletter sponsors, and display ads. Each one is off by default and stays off until it is specifically approved, with its own disclosure, audience, date window, and legal review.
Kill switches control every module at three levels: a global switch, a per-module switch, and a per-country switch. Any switch, any missing approval, or any system error turns the placement off. When a module is off, the page simply closes the gap: there are no empty advertisement boxes.
Rules that never change
- Commercial partners do not control our research conclusions.
- Paid partners cannot change evidence grades, remove adverse findings, choose editorial winners, or buy verification badges.
- Paid placements are labeled clearly before you click, and are kept separate from research content.
- Paid placements never appear inside the short answer, the safety conclusion, or the evidence matrix.
- Paid placement never changes organic search ranking or evidence ordering.
Disclosures
If a commercial module is ever activated, the disclosure will sit next to the relevant links in plain language a reader can understand, and each paid card will be identifiable as paid before it is clicked.
Current funding
There are no funding sources to disclose at launch beyond independent operation. When that changes, this page will list the sources, the amounts or terms where relevant, and any conflicts, before the related commercial content appears.
