Effectiveness Rating: Betaine vs Chromium

The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to decrease body fat. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. The evidence backing up betaine to decrease body fat is much better than the evidence backing up chromium. Betaine should provide positive results while chromium will not.

Confidence Rating: Betaine vs Chromium

Another factor to take into account when comparing supplements is the confidence rating. This rating is a measure of how valid each supplement's effectiveness rating is. Remember, the confidence rating is a measure of how much you can trust the effectiveness rating. This rating is based on how many studies are included in the database on a supplement's claims. Ideally, you want a high effectiveness AND confidence rating.

Chromium's confidence rating is higher than betaine's. This means chromium's effectiveness rating from above is more valid. This does not necessarily mean that chromium works better, it simply means the evidence (included in this database) backing up chromium is more established.
