Effectiveness Rating: Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) vs Vitamin C
The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to improve cardiovascular endurance. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. The evidence shows neither docosahexaenoic acid (dha) nor vitamin c has the ability to improve cardiovascular endurance. Neither supplement will provide positive results for this claim.
Confidence Rating: Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) vs Vitamin C
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 docosahexaenoic acid (dha) and vitamin c 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.
