Effectiveness Rating: Phosphatidylserine vs Taurine

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 taurine to reduce muscle soreness is much better than the evidence backing up phosphatidylserine. Taurine should provide positive results while phosphatidylserine will not.

Confidence Rating: Phosphatidylserine vs Taurine

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.

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