Effectiveness Rating: Coenzyme Q10 vs L-Citrulline

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 l-citrulline to improve cycling sprint performance is much better than the evidence backing up coenzyme q10. L-Citrulline should provide positive results while coenzyme q10 will not.

Confidence Rating: Coenzyme Q10 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 coenzyme q10 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.
