Score breakdown

Score Breakdown

Ingredient Quality8.3

The product uses fruiting body Lion's Mane at 2,000mg per serving, which meets the dose threshold for the top tier. The brand states a beta-glucan content of 30%, placing it in the 30–39% band. A dual-extraction method is disclosed, which is noted as above the hot-water standard commonly used for Lion's Mane; the brand does not publicly explain whether this is to preserve a specific compound profile. The ingredient quality raw score is 11 out of 12.

Mushroom source type4.0/4
Beta-glucan %3.0/4
Extraction method2.0/2
Dose adequacy2.0/2
Transparency6.7

The brand states the source type, extraction method, and dose clearly, and a full-panel COA is noted as available, though no public COA URL is disclosed. The beta-glucan percentage of 30% is brand-stated rather than third-party verified, which limits the score_beta_glucan_disclosed to 1 point. The country of origin is not publicly disclosed, and three or more core transparency fields are missing or unverifiable, triggering the one-point missing-data penalty. The transparency score is 6.67 out of 10.

Beta-glucan disclosed1.0/2
Source stated2.0/2
Extraction stated1.0/1
Origin stated0.0/1
Value2.0

The subscription price of £23.80 per pack gives a price per serving of approximately £0.793. With 600mg of beta-glucans per serving (based on the brand-stated 30% figure applied to 2,000mg), the cost per 100mg beta-glucan is approximately £0.40, placing it in the £0.21–£0.40 good-value band. Because the beta-glucan figure is brand-stated and not third-party verified, this calculation carries a degree of uncertainty. The value score is 2.0, reflecting that the cost per 100mg sits at the upper boundary of the good-value range.

Trust9.0

The product holds a Trustpilot score of 4.9 from 620 reviews, meeting the threshold for the maximum 5-point score. Third-party testing is disclosed and a full-panel COA is stated as available, earning 3 points. The product is stated as organically certified, but no named certification body is publicly disclosed, limiting the organic score to 1 point. The trust score is 9.0 out of 10.

Consumer Experience8.0

A subscription is available with no lock-in period disclosed, though the cancel policy is not publicly stated; the score of 4 is applied on the basis that subscription_lock_in is false. A 30-day money-back guarantee is stated, earning the maximum return policy score. The product ships to the UK, though it is not confirmed as a UK-based brand, so 2 points are awarded for UK availability. The consumer experience score is 8.0 out of 10.

How DIRTEA could improve this score

Path to improvement

+1.6 points to reach Fully Verified

+1.6

pts needed

  • 1

    Publish the country of origin for the mushroom raw material — this would add 1 point to the transparency score and remove the missing-data penalty.

  • 2

    Publish a named organic certification body — this would increase score_organic from 1 to 2, adding 0.2 points to the trust score.

  • 3

    Publish a live, publicly accessible COA URL from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory confirming the 30% beta-glucan figure — this would increase score_beta_glucan_disclosed from 1 to 2, adding approximately 1.1 points to the transparency score.

  • 4

    Publish the subscription cancel policy explicitly — this would confirm the anytime-cancel scoring already applied and reduce data gaps.
