Effectiveness Rating: Arachidonic Acid vs Coenzyme Q10

The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to improve cycling sprint performance. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. The evidence backing up arachidonic acid to improve cycling sprint performance is much better than the evidence backing up coenzyme q10. Arachidonic Acid should provide positive results while coenzyme q10 will not.

Confidence Rating: Arachidonic Acid vs Coenzyme Q10

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 arachidonic acid and coenzyme q10 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.
