Effectiveness Rating: Quercetin 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 shows neither quercetin nor vitamin c has the ability to reduce muscle soreness. Neither supplement will provide positive results for this claim.

Confidence Rating: Quercetin 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 quercetin'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.
