Effectiveness Rating: Arachidonic Acid vs Hibiscus Extract

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 neither arachidonic acid nor hibiscus extract has the ability to reduce muscle damage. Neither supplement will provide positive results for this claim.

Confidence Rating: Arachidonic Acid vs Hibiscus 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.

Both arachidonic acid and hibiscus extract 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.
