Overall Score
3.29 / 10
Limited Disclosure
This score reflects how completely Bioflow discloses product information, not the quality of the product itself. Several core data fields are not publicly available, which limits the score across multiple dimensions.
Score Breakdown
Ingredient Quality ā 5.0 / 10
Bioflow uses fruiting body material for both Lion's Mane and Cordyceps, and discloses a dual extraction method. These are meaningful disclosures and score the maximum points available for source type and extraction. However, the total mushroom dose per serving and the beta-glucan percentage are not publicly disclosed. Both score zero, which holds the ingredient quality score to 5.0.
Transparency ā 2.22 / 10
The brand clearly states the source type and extraction method, earning three transparency points. No certificate of analysis (COA) is publicly available, the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, and the country of origin for the mushroom raw materials is not stated. Because three or more core fields are missing, a one-point penalty applies, giving a normalised transparency score of 2.22.
Value ā 2.0 / 10
A cost-per-100mg beta-glucan calculation cannot be made because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. The value score is based on price per serving alone, set at £1.00 one-off or £0.85 on subscription, and reflects a one-point deduction for the absence of beta-glucan data. The score is 2.0.
Trust ā 0.0 / 10
No Trustpilot profile is publicly linked for this product. Third-party testing is not disclosed and no COA is publicly available. The product is not organically certified. Each of these three areas scores zero, giving an overall trust score of 0.0.
Consumer Experience ā 7.0 / 10
A subscription option is available with a stated 15% saving and no lock-in, which scores the maximum points for subscription flexibility. A 30-day return policy is stated. The product ships to the UK. These three factors combine for a consumer experience score of 7.0, the strongest dimension on this page.
