Effectiveness Rating: Arachidonic Acid vs Ribose

The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to increase strength. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. The evidence shows arachidonic acid is better than ribose in its ability to increase strength. Arachidonic Acid should provide some positive results while ribose will not.

Confidence Rating: Arachidonic Acid vs Ribose

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 arachidonic acid and ribose 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.
