Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses Lion's Mane fruiting body (Hericium erinaceus), which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. A dual extraction method is disclosed, scoring 2 points. Beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so that sub-score is 0. At 300mg per serving, the dose falls below the 500mg threshold, scoring 0 for dose adequacy.
The brand states the source type (fruiting body) and extraction method (dual extract), and discloses China as the country of origin. No certificate of analysis is publicly available, and beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, leaving both the COA and beta-glucan disclosure sub-scores at 0. The brand states third-party testing takes place but provides no publicly accessible COA to support that claim.
Beta-glucans per serving cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. Using the subscription price of £23.80 for 30 servings, the cost per serving is approximately £0.79. Based on price per serving alone, without verified beta-glucan data, the value score is 1.0, reflecting a high cost per serving relative to the category benchmark where active content cannot be confirmed.
The brand holds a Trustpilot score of 4.6 from 3,320 reviews, scoring the maximum 5 points. Third-party testing is stated but no COA is publicly available, scoring 1 point. Organic certification is claimed but no certification body is named, 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 a beta-glucan percentage on the product page or label — 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 accessible — a full-panel COA from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory would add 3 points to the transparency score.
- 3
Name the organic certification body — confirming the certifying organisation would raise the organic sub-score from 1 to 2 points in the trust dimension.
- 4
Increase the mushroom extract dose per serving to at least 500mg — the current 300mg per serving falls below the threshold needed to score in the dose adequacy sub-dimension.
