Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses Tremella fuciformis fruiting body, which scores the maximum 4 points for source type, and dual extraction is disclosed, scoring 2 points. Beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, scoring 0, and total mushroom extract per serving is also not publicly disclosed, so dose adequacy cannot be assessed and scores 0. The absence of both a dose figure and a beta-glucan percentage limits the ingredient quality score despite the strong source and extraction disclosures.
The brand states fruiting body source and dual extraction clearly, and country of origin (China) is disclosed, contributing positively to transparency. No certificate of analysis is publicly available and beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, both scoring 0. With three core fields (beta_glucan_pct, total_mushroom_mg, coa_available) absent, transparency is limited despite the source and extraction disclosures; the penalty threshold was not reached because origin is stated.
Cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. The platform used the subscription price of Β£23.80 for 30 servings, giving Β£0.7933 per serving. At this price per serving, with no beta-glucan data available, the value score is 1.0, reflecting a high cost per serving relative to the category benchmark where active content cannot be verified.
The brand holds a Trustpilot score of 4.6 from 3,320 reviews, meeting the threshold for the maximum 5 points. Third-party testing is stated as true but no COA is publicly available, scoring 1 point. Organic certification is claimed but no named certification body is disclosed, scoring 1 point.
A subscription is available with no lock-in and a cancel-or-skip-anytime policy, scoring the maximum 4 points. A 30-day money-back guarantee is in place, scoring 3 points. The brand operates in the UK and ships to the UK, scoring 3 points.

How DIRTEA could improve this score
Path to improvement
+1.5 points to reach Well Documented
+1.5
pts needed
- 1
Publish the beta-glucan percentage for the Tremella fruiting body extract β this would add up to 4 points to the ingredient quality score and unlock cost-per-100mg-beta-glucan value calculation.
- 2
Make a certificate of analysis publicly available, ideally covering beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory β this would add up to 3 points to the transparency score.
- 3
Disclose the total mushroom extract dose per serving in milligrams β this would allow dose adequacy to be assessed and could add up to 2 points to the ingredient quality score.
- 4
Name the certification body behind the organic claim β this would add 1 point to the trust score.
- 5
Have beta-glucan percentage independently verified and reference the third-party COA β this would add 1 point to the transparency score for beta-glucan disclosure.
