Effectiveness Rating: Conjugated Linoleic Acid vs Tribulus Terrestris

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. Both conjugated linoleic acid and tribulus terrestris have good (but not great) evidence showing they may be able to decrease body fat. Both supplements should provide some positive results.

Confidence Rating: Conjugated Linoleic Acid vs Tribulus Terrestris

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.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid's confidence rating is higher than tribulus terrestris's. This means conjugated linoleic acid's effectiveness rating from above is more valid. This does not necessarily mean that conjugated linoleic acid works better, it simply means the evidence (included in this database) backing up conjugated linoleic acid is more established.
