Effectiveness Rating: Betaine vs Creatine Monohydrate
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 creatine monohydrate. Betaine should provide positive results while creatine monohydrate will not.
Confidence Rating: Betaine vs Creatine Monohydrate
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.
Creatine Monohydrate's confidence rating is higher than betaine's. This means creatine monohydrate's effectiveness rating from above is more valid. This does not necessarily mean that creatine monohydrate works better, it simply means the evidence (included in this database) backing up creatine monohydrate is more established.
