Effectiveness Rating: HMB vs Yohimbine
The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to increase muscle mass. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. The evidence backing up hmb to increase muscle mass is much better than the evidence backing up yohimbine. HMB should provide positive results while yohimbine will not.
Confidence Rating: HMB vs Yohimbine
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.
HMB's confidence rating is higher than yohimbine's. This means hmb's effectiveness rating from above is more valid. This does not necessarily mean that hmb works better, it simply means the evidence (included in this database) backing up hmb is more established.
