Effectiveness Rating: Guar Gum vs Yohimbine

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. The evidence backing up guar gum to increase weight loss is much better than the evidence backing up yohimbine. Guar Gum should provide positive results while yohimbine will not.

Confidence Rating: Guar Gum 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.

Both guar gum and yohimbine 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.
