Effectiveness Rating: Anthocyanins vs Dandelion Extract

The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. Both anthocyanins and dandelion extract have great evidence backing up their ability to increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels. They should both provide positive results.

Confidence Rating: Anthocyanins vs Dandelion Extract

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.

Anthocyanins's confidence rating is higher than dandelion extract's. This means anthocyanins's effectiveness rating from above is more valid. This does not necessarily mean that anthocyanins works better, it simply means the evidence (included in this database) backing up anthocyanins is more established.
