Effectiveness Rating: Sodium vs Tyrosine

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

Confidence Rating: Sodium vs Tyrosine

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 sodium and tyrosine have great confidence rating. This means both supplement's effectiveness ratings above are valid.
