Effectiveness Rating: Fish Oil vs Glutamine

The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to reduce muscle soreness. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. Both fish oil and glutamine have great evidence backing up their ability to reduce muscle soreness. They should both provide positive results.

Confidence Rating: Fish Oil vs Glutamine

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.

Fish Oil's confidence rating is higher than glutamine's. This means fish oil's effectiveness rating from above is more valid. This does not necessarily mean that fish oil works better, it simply means the evidence (included in this database) backing up fish oil is more established.
