How we make money

Last updated October 12, 2026.

Reading After the Scope is free. Here is every way the site earns money, and where you’ll see it.

No ads

We don’t run ads on this site.

Our books

The team behind After the Scope also writes the Peptides Made Simple book series. We earn money when you buy it.

You’ll see the books on our peptide research articles and at the end of a few recovery articles. Quiz results show them only if you said you’ve tried supplements or peptides. Each mention carries a disclosure.

Sigma Compounds

After the Scope is an affiliate of Sigma Compounds. Sigma Compounds is a separate company. Its products are for laboratory research use only, not for human consumption.

Sigma Compounds appears in two places:

• The Research Desk box on our peptide research articles and on the peptide research reading path.
• Research-notes emails, which you only get if you ask for them.

Our injury, surgery and recovery articles carry no store links. Neither does the quiz.

We describe Sigma Compounds as “Third-party tested.” We make no claims about what any peptide does in people.

The quiz is free

The recovery quiz costs nothing. Your email unlocks your plan and your Before-You-Leave Card. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.

We don’t sell your data

We don’t sell your email, your quiz answers or anything else you send us. See our privacy page.
