Effectiveness Rating: Glycerol vs HMB
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. Both glycerol and hmb have great evidence backing up their ability to improve cardiovascular endurance. They should both provide positive results.
Confidence Rating: Glycerol vs HMB
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.
Glycerol's confidence rating is higher than hmb's. This means glycerol's effectiveness rating from above is more valid. This does not necessarily mean that glycerol works better, it simply means the evidence (included in this database) backing up glycerol is more established.
