Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses Lion's Mane fruiting body (Hericium erinaceus), which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The brand states a beta-glucan content of 40%, meeting the threshold for a full 4 points, though this figure is brand-stated rather than third-party verified. A dual extraction method is disclosed, scoring 2 points, and the total mushroom dose of 2,000mg per serving comfortably exceeds the 1,000mg threshold for the maximum dose adequacy score.
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 beta-glucan figure of 40% is brand-stated rather than confirmed by a third-party COA, scoring 1 point rather than 2. No COA is publicly available, which scores 0 for that sub-dimension and limits independently verifiable confirmation of the stated beta-glucan content. The transparency penalty does not apply because fewer than three core fields are missing.
The subscription price of £26.60 for 30 servings gives a price per serving of £0.8867. With 2,000mg of fruiting body extract at a brand-stated 40% beta-glucan content, the platform calculates 800mg of beta-glucans per serving and a cost of £0.1108 per 100mg beta-glucan. This falls within the exceptional value tier (at or below £0.20 per 100mg), producing a value score of 9.45. The subscription saving of 30% over the one-off price of £38.00 was used in this calculation.
The brand holds a Trustpilot score of 4.6 from 3,320 reviews, meeting the threshold for the maximum 5 points. The brand states third-party testing is conducted, but no COA is publicly accessible, so score_third_party_testing is 1. Organic certification is held with the Organic Food Federation named as the certifying body, scoring the maximum 2 points.
The subscription is available 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 points. The brand operates in the UK and ships to the UK, scoring 3 points for availability.

Score reasoning
Ingredient Quality
The product uses Lion's Mane fruiting body (Hericium erinaceus), which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The brand states a beta-glucan content of 40%, meeting the threshold for a full 4 points, though this figure is brand-stated rather than third-party verified. A dual extraction method is disclosed, scoring 2 points, and the total mushroom dose of 2,000mg per serving comfortably exceeds the 1,000mg threshold for the maximum dose adequacy score.
Transparency
