Effectiveness Rating: Chromium vs White Bean Extract

The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to increase weight loss. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. Both chromium and white bean extract have good (but not great) evidence showing they may be able to increase weight loss. Both supplements should provide some positive results.

Confidence Rating: Chromium vs White Bean 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.

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