Detailed Report

The detailed report is an in-depth analysis on how AMINO1's rating for this particular claim was calculated.

Claim Effectiveness Ratings

Each supplement product is a blend of ingredients. The database uses peer reviewed journal articles to rate the ingredients. These ratings are also used to rate how well products perform overall as well as on individual claims.

The supplement ingredients listed in table below are identified as affecting AMINO1's ability to improve running performance. The rating next to the ingredient describes the ingredient's ability to improve running performance. These ratings are averaged together and provide the product's overall ability to deliver on the same claim.

Ingredients Improve Running Performance Rating
Sodium 1.4 out of 3
Phosphorus 1.3 out of 3
Taurine 1 out of 3
Glycine 2 out of 3
Coconut Water 1 out of 3
Product's Claim Effectiveness Rating 1.34 out of 3

Claim Research Ratings

The research rating describes how well an ingredient's ability to perform a certain claim (such as improve running performance) has been researched. This rating is based on the amount of studies contained in the database on a particular ingredient and claim. Ingredient research ratings are averaged together to from the product's research rating for this specific cliam.

This rating is important because we need to know if there is enough research to make a valid conclusion on a product's worthiness. Ratings above 80 are ideal.
