Effectiveness Rating: Beta Alanine vs Coenzyme Q10

The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to improve running performance. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. The evidence backing up coenzyme q10 is great, while the evidence backing up beta alanine is good. Coenzyme Q10 should be able to improve running performance more effectively, however both supplements should provide positive results.

Confidence Rating: Beta Alanine 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.

Beta Alanine's confidence rating is higher than coenzyme q10's. This means beta alanine's effectiveness rating from above is more valid. This does not necessarily mean that beta alanine works better, it simply means the evidence (included in this database) backing up beta alanine is more established.
