Effectiveness Rating: HMB vs L-Citrulline

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 backing up hmb to improve cardiovascular endurance is much better than the evidence backing up l-citrulline. HMB should provide positive results while l-citrulline will not.

Confidence Rating: HMB vs L-Citrulline

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 hmb and l-citrulline 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.
