The rating next to the ingredient describes the ingredient's ability to improve recovery. These ratings are averaged together and provide the product's overall ability to deliver on the same claim.

Ingredients Improve Recovery Rating
Branched Chain Amino Acids 2.3 out of 3
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) 2 out of 3
Glutamine 2 out of 3
Product's Claim Effectiveness Rating 2.1 out of 3

Claim Research Ratings

The research rating describes how well an ingredient's ability to perform a certain claim (such as improve recovery) has been researched. This rating is based on the amount of studies contained in the database on a particular ingredient and claim.
