Effectiveness Rating: Chromium vs Whey Protein

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 backing up whey protein to increase strength is much better than the evidence backing up chromium. Whey Protein should provide positive results while chromium will not.

Confidence Rating: Chromium vs Whey Protein

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 chromium and whey protein have great confidence rating. This means both supplement's effectiveness ratings above are valid.
