Advertising & Partner Disclosure

Truth About Kratom is an independent consumer publication. Truth About Kratom accepts one sponsor: MitWellness, a botanical products company. This page explains that relationship in plain terms. Read it in two minutes, if you want the short version: labeled banner placements are paid advertising, and nothing else on this site is.

What the Sponsorship Is

MitWellness pays for a single, clearly labeled banner placement on eligible pages of this site. Each placement carries three fixed properties. First, every placement is marked with a visible "Sponsored · MitWellness" label that links to this page. Secondly, every placement uses advertising link attributes (nofollow and sponsored), so the placement passes no search-engine endorsement. Thirdly, every placement appears as a bordered unit that is visually separate from editorial text. There is 1 sponsor on this site, and the total is 1.

What the Sponsorship Is Not

How We Keep Editorial Independence

Independence starts with a written standard. Our standard requires three things on every page. First, claims about effects are framed as user reports or published research, never as promises. Secondly, unprofitable truths stay in the text — tolerance economics, product categories we advise against, and pricing traps. Thirdly, sources are cited on claim-sensitive pages. Review the full policy at our editorial standards.

How Partners Are Vetted

We require one thing before accepting a sponsor: published certificates of analysis (COAs). A certificate of analysis is a lab document that verifies potency and screens for contaminants. MitWellness publishes COAs for its products, which is the standard this site teaches readers to demand from any vendor.

The Legal Basis for This Page

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires clear disclosure of material connections between publishers and advertisers. This page, plus the label on every sponsored unit, satisfies that requirement. Contact us at hello@truthaboutkratom.org, if any placement ever seems unclear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does MitWellness write or approve articles?

No. MitWellness pays for labeled banner placements only. Articles are researched, written, and published independently.

Why does an advocacy site carry advertising?

Publishing costs money. One disclosed sponsor, restricted to labeled units on eligible pages, funds independent consumer coverage without paywalls.

Which pages never carry ads?

The dosage guide, the frequency and tolerance guide, the potentiators review, the vaping review, and the entire state-law section carry no advertising.
