Frequently asked questions
Questions about SwiftHerb, our iHerb affiliate relationship, and how we approach supplement content.
- What is SwiftHerb?
- SwiftHerb is an independent editorial site that publishes supplement guides, brand reviews, and curated product picks — all linking to iHerb. We help you narrow down what to buy before you get to the retailer, so you spend less time comparing labels and more time confident in your choice.
- Are you affiliated with iHerb?
- Yes. SwiftHerb is a registered affiliate publisher in iHerb's program on the Awin network (Awin publisher ID 2943103, iHerb merchant ID 76736). When you click a product or brand link on SwiftHerb and buy on iHerb, we earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure page for full details.
- Does it cost anything to use SwiftHerb?
- Browsing is completely free. We earn a commission from iHerb when you buy — that's how we fund the site. You never pay more than the listed iHerb price; the commission comes from iHerb, not from you.
- How do you choose which products to feature?
- Our editorial team selects products based on ingredient quality, form (for example, we prefer magnesium glycinate over oxide because the absorption data is better), brand reputation, iHerb customer reviews, and value. We do not accept payment from supplement brands for placement or favorable coverage.
- Is this medical advice?
- No. All content on SwiftHerb is for informational purposes only. It is not a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or substitute for advice from a licensed healthcare provider. Always read the Supplement Facts panel on iHerb and consult a qualified clinician before adding any supplement, especially if you take medication, have a health condition, or are pregnant.
- Where do your product links go?
- Every product card, brand button, and 'View on iHerb' CTA on SwiftHerb opens the corresponding listing on iHerb.com. We don't sell products ourselves — we send you to the retailer where you can see the live Supplement Facts, allergen information, and verified customer reviews.
- Do you post iHerb promo or discount codes?
- No. We don't publish iHerb Rewards codes or discount codes. Per iHerb's affiliate program terms, posting codes voids commission and we've chosen not to run that type of promotion. We focus purely on editorial content.
- How do I know which supplement form to buy?
- Our guides explain the differences — for example, why magnesium glycinate absorbs better than oxide, or why triglyceride-form fish oil is preferable to ethyl ester. Each guide links to the specific products we'd recommend on iHerb. Read the guide, then check the live Supplement Facts on iHerb before buying.
- Who writes the content on SwiftHerb?
- Content is produced by the SwiftHerb editorial team. We don't have medical staff, and we don't pretend to. What we do is read the research, understand the ingredient forms and dosages, and translate that into plain language for adults who want to make their own informed decisions.
- How do I contact SwiftHerb?
- Email [email protected]. We respond within one to two business days.
