Effectiveness Rating: Creatine Hydrochloride vs Sodium

The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to decrease fatigue. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. The evidence shows sodium is better than creatine hydrochloride in its ability to decrease fatigue. Sodium should provide some positive results while creatine hydrochloride will not.

Confidence Rating: Creatine Hydrochloride vs Sodium

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.

Both creatine hydrochloride and sodium have low confidence ratings. This means neither supplement has an adequate amount of research to back up this claim. A low confidence rating questions the validity of the effectiveness rating.
