Effectiveness Rating: Anthocyanins vs Magnesium
The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to lower blood pressure. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. The evidence shows magnesium is better than anthocyanins in its ability to lower blood pressure. Magnesium should provide some positive results while anthocyanins will not.
Confidence Rating: Anthocyanins vs Magnesium
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.
Anthocyanins's confidence rating is higher than magnesium's. This means anthocyanins's effectiveness rating from above is more valid. This does not necessarily mean that anthocyanins works better, it simply means the evidence (included in this database) backing up anthocyanins is more established.
