Transparent Labs

Transparent Labs is a Utah-based sports nutrition company that built its brand around published doses, no artificial sweeteners or colors, and no proprietary blends on the supplement facts panel. The catalog centers on four product lines: CORE (grass-fed whey isolate, casein, mass gainer), BULK and LEAN (caffeinated and stimulant-free pre-workouts), STRENGTH (creatine HMB, creatine monohydrate, BCAA), and RawSeries single-ingredient stacks. Adjacent SKUs include Vitality (for testosterone support), 100% Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate as the hero product, multivitamins, and fat burners. Pricing runs mid-to-premium (roughly USD 40-60 per tub), and the company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee plus free shipping on orders over USD 99.

The target buyer is an intermediate-to-advanced lifter, CrossFit athlete, or physique competitor who has outgrown Walmart-tier supplements and wants clean-label formulations backed by clinical dosing. The brand has been a fixture in r/supplements and fitness YouTube for years, and the ambassador program leans heavily on creators in powerlifting, bodybuilding, functional fitness, and nutrition-coaching niches. Affiliates get reliable conversion because the product landing pages publish every ingredient gram-for-gram, which matches the kind of audience that vets labels before buying. Return customers and bundle discounts (stack and save 10%) mean that first-referral LTV tends to be decent for a supplement brand.

The TL Ambassador program is run directly by Transparent Labs rather than through ShareASale, Impact, or Refersion. Creators apply at transparentlabs.com/pages/tl-ambassador, submit their channel or site details, and once approved receive a unique referral code and tracking link. Approved ambassadors get a branded dashboard, creative assets, and tiered merch rewards: a free hat-and-shirt bundle after the first referral and one free monthly product after ten referrals.

Commission is a flat 10% on new customer orders attributed to the ambassador code within a 30-day cookie window. Payouts are processed 30 days after the initial order is placed, which gives the return window time to close before the commission locks. Payments issue via PayPal on a monthly cadence with no published minimum threshold. Commissions are not paid on returned product, and self-referrals or code-stuffing on coupon aggregator sites are excluded under the ambassador terms. The program is separate from the customer-facing Refer-a-Friend campaign, which pays store credit to the referrer and a discount to the new customer.
