Effectiveness Rating: Hibiscus Extract vs Tart Cherry

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. Both hibiscus extract and tart cherry have good (but not great) evidence showing they may be able to lower blood pressure. Both supplements should provide some positive results.

Confidence Rating: Hibiscus Extract vs Tart Cherry

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.

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