Effectiveness Rating: 5-HTP vs White Bean Extract

The effectiveness rating is a measure of the supplements' ability to increase weight loss. This rating answers the question of whether or not a supplement does what it claims. The evidence backing up 5-htp is great, while the evidence backing up white bean extract is good. 5-HTP should be able to increase weight loss more effectively, however both supplements should provide positive results.

Confidence Rating: 5-HTP vs White Bean 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 5-htp and white bean 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.
