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
- Sponsorship is not editorial control. MitWellness does not review, approve, or edit articles before publication.
- Sponsorship is not placement on every page. Our dosage guide, our frequency guide, our potentiator review, and the entire laws section carry no advertising at all.
- Sponsorship is not a rankings guarantee. Any page that ranks brands publishes its methodology first and labels the MitWellness entry as our disclosed sponsor.
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.
