Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses Reishi fruiting body (Ganoderma lucidum), which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. Dual extraction is disclosed, scoring 2 points for extraction method and reflecting that both water-soluble beta-glucans and alcohol-soluble triterpenes are targeted, which is the established approach for Reishi. The beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, scoring 0, and the total mushroom extract per serving is also not publicly disclosed, so dose adequacy cannot be assessed and scores 0.
The brand discloses the source type (fruiting body) and extraction method (dual extract), and states China as the country of origin, each scoring their full points. The beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed and no certificate of analysis is publicly available, both scoring 0. Third-party testing is stated to be conducted but no COA URL or panel details are provided, leaving the claim unverifiable.
Cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. The price per serving used for value scoring is £0.79 (based on the subscription price of £23.80 for 30 servings), which falls within the £0.71–£1.20 per serving range, producing a value score of 1.0. This score reflects price per serving only, as no beta-glucan content data is available to calculate a cost-per-active-unit figure.
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, so the score is 1 point rather than the maximum 3. Organic certification is claimed but no named certification body is disclosed, scoring 1 point out of a possible 2.
The subscription is available with no lock-in and a cancel-or-skip-anytime policy, scoring the maximum 4 points for flexibility. A 30-day money-back guarantee is in place, scoring the maximum 3 points for return policy. The brand operates in the UK and ships to the UK, scoring the maximum 3 points for UK availability.

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 Reishi fruiting body extract — this would add up to 4 points to the ingredient quality score and 2 points to the transparency score.
- 2
Make a certificate of analysis publicly available, ideally a full-panel COA from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory covering beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination — this would add up to 3 points to the transparency score and up to 3 points to the trust score.
- 3
Disclose the total mushroom extract amount per serving in milligrams — this would allow dose adequacy to be assessed and could add up to 2 points to the ingredient quality score.
- 4
Name the organic certification body on product materials — this would increase the organic sub-score from 1 to 2 points within the trust dimension.
