Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses fruiting body source material, scores the maximum 4 points for source type. A beta-glucan percentage of 40%, verified by third-party COA from Eurofins, scores the maximum 4 points. Dual extraction is disclosed, scoring 2 points, which is particularly relevant for Chaga where triterpene extraction requires this method. The total mushroom dose is 1,000mg per serving, meeting the threshold for the full 2 points on dose adequacy.
The brand publicly discloses source type, extraction method, country of origin (China), and a full-panel COA from Eurofins covering beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination. The beta-glucan percentage of 40% is verified by that third-party COA, scoring 2 points on that sub-dimension. No missing data penalty applies, as all five core transparency fields are present. The only gap in public disclosure is the per-species dosage breakdown.
The cost per 100mg beta-glucan is £0.2042, calculated from a price per serving of £0.8167 and 400mg beta-glucans per serving. This places the product just above the exceptional value threshold of £0.20, falling into the high-cost-per-active-unit band at £0.76–£1.20 per 100mg, which scores 2.0. No subscription pricing is publicly disclosed, so the one-off price is used throughout.
The product holds a Trustpilot score of 4.0 from 2,853 reviews, scoring 4 points. Third-party testing is confirmed, with a full-panel COA publicly available from Eurofins, scoring 3 points. Organic certification is held with two named bodies, the Soil Association and the Organic Food Federation, scoring 2 points.
A subscription is available with no lock-in and a cancel-anytime policy, scoring the maximum 4 points for subscription flexibility. The return policy is 30 days, scoring 3 points. The product ships to the UK but is not a UK-based brand, scoring 2 points for UK availability.

pts needed
- 1
Publish a per-species dosage breakdown showing how the 1,000mg total is split across Lion's Mane, Chaga, and Tremella — this would add approximately 0.5 points to the transparency score and allow more informed purchase decisions.
- 2
Disclose scientific names for each mushroom species — this would strengthen transparency around species identity and support the existing high disclosure standard.
