Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses fruiting body material across all three species (Lion's Mane, Tremella, and Reishi), scoring the maximum 4 points for source type. The brand states a beta-glucan percentage of 40%, which meets the top scoring threshold, and discloses dual extraction, which is particularly relevant for Reishi given its triterpene content. Total mushroom extract per serving is 2,500mg, well above the 1,000mg threshold for maximum dose adequacy.
The brand publicly states the source type, extraction method, beta-glucan percentage, and country of origin (China), all of which contribute positively to the transparency score. The beta-glucan figure is brand-stated rather than third-party verified, as no COA is publicly available and no COA URL is disclosed. The brand states third-party testing takes place but does not publish supporting documentation, which limits the transparency score for that field.
The subscription price of £30.10 for 30 servings gives a price per serving of approximately £1.00. With a disclosed beta-glucan percentage of 40% applied to 2,500mg per serving, the platform calculates 1,000mg of beta-glucans per serving and a cost per 100mg beta-glucan of approximately £0.10, which falls in the exceptional value tier and produces a value score of 9.5. The subscription saving of 30% over the one-off price was used in this calculation, as it exceeds the 15% threshold.
The brand holds a Trustpilot score of 4.6 from 3,320 reviews, meeting the threshold for the maximum 5 points in that sub-dimension. The brand states third-party testing is conducted but does not make a COA publicly available, scoring 1 point for third-party testing disclosure. Organic certification is confirmed by the Organic Food Federation, a named certification body, scoring the maximum 2 points.
The subscription is available with no lock-in and a cancel-or-skip-anytime policy, scoring the maximum 4 points for subscription flexibility. The brand offers a 30-day return policy, meeting the threshold for the maximum 3 points. The brand operates in the UK and ships to the UK, scoring the maximum 3 points for UK availability.
