Affiliate Disclosure
At Refresh Mind, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. This affiliate disclosure explains how we make money and how it supports our mission of providing science-based mind refresh techniques and cognitive enhancement strategies.
What Are Affiliate Links?
When you see links on our website that lead to products or services, some of these may be affiliate links. This means that if you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Why We Use Affiliate Links

Refresh Mind is dedicated to providing free, high-quality content about mental refreshment techniques, cognitive enhancement, and evidence-based strategies for better thinking. Affiliate commissions help us:

- Improve user experience: Invest in better design and functionality
- Keep content free: Ensure our articles remain accessible to everyone
Curated Recommendations
We only recommend products and services that we have thoroughly researched and believe will genuinely help our readers refresh their minds and enhance cognitive function. Our editorial independence is paramount—we recommend products because they’re valuable, not because of commission rates.
