Effectiveness Rating: Fish Oil vs Vitamin C

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. The evidence backing up fish oil to reduce muscle soreness is much better than the evidence backing up vitamin c. Fish Oil should provide positive results while vitamin c will not.

Confidence Rating: Fish Oil 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.

Both fish oil and vitamin c have great confidence rating. This means both supplement's effectiveness ratings above are valid.
