Effectiveness Rating: Creatine Monohydrate vs Sodium

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 sodium is great, while the evidence backing up creatine monohydrate is good. Sodium should be able to improve cycling sprint performance more effectively, however both supplements should provide positive results.

Confidence Rating: Creatine Monohydrate vs Sodium

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