Effectiveness Rating: Alpha-Ketoisocaproic Acid vs Vitamin C

The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to reduce muscle damage. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. The evidence shows alpha-ketoisocaproic acid is better than vitamin c in its ability to reduce muscle damage. Alpha-Ketoisocaproic Acid should provide some positive results while vitamin c will not.

Confidence Rating: Alpha-Ketoisocaproic Acid vs Vitamin C

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.

Vitamin C's confidence rating is higher than alpha-ketoisocaproic acid's. This means vitamin c's effectiveness rating from above is more valid. This does not necessarily mean that vitamin c works better, it simply means the evidence (included in this database) backing up vitamin c is more established.
