Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses Lion's Mane fruiting body (Hericium erinaceus), which scores 4 for source type. The brand states a beta-glucan percentage of 40%, which meets the top scoring threshold. A dual extraction method is disclosed, scoring 2 out of 2. The serving delivers 1,000mg of mushroom extract, meeting the dose adequacy threshold for 2 points.
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 40% beta-glucan figure is brand-stated rather than verified by a named third-party laboratory, scoring 1 rather than 2 for that sub-dimension. No COA is publicly accessible, which scores 0 for that sub-dimension and limits the transparency score despite the other disclosures being solid. No transparency penalty applies, as fewer than three core fields are missing.
The subscription price of £26.60 for 60 servings gives a price per serving of approximately £0.44. With 400mg of beta-glucans per serving (1,000mg at 40%), the cost per 100mg beta-glucan is approximately £0.11, which falls in the exceptional value tier and produces a value score of 9.45. 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 rating of 4.6 from 3,320 reviews, meeting the threshold for the top score of 5. The brand states that third-party testing is conducted, but no COA is publicly available, so score_third_party_testing is 1. Organic certification is held with the Organic Food Federation named as the certifying body, scoring 2 out of 2.
The brand offers a subscription with no lock-in and a cancel-or-skip-anytime policy, scoring the maximum 4 points for subscription flexibility. A 30-day money-back guarantee is in place, scoring 3 out of 3 for return policy. The brand operates in the UK and ships to the UK, scoring 3 out of 3 for UK availability.
