How DIRTEA could improve this score
Path to improvement
+0.9 points to reach Partial Disclosure
+0.9
pts needed
- 1
Publish the beta-glucan percentage from a third-party COA β this would add up to 6 points across the ingredient quality and transparency dimensions.
- 2
Publish a full-panel COA (covering beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory) β this would add up to 3 points to the transparency score.
- 3
Disclose the total mushroom extract per serving in milligrams β this would add up to 2 points to the ingredient quality score and allow cost per 100mg beta-glucan to be calculated.
- 4
State the extraction method publicly β this would add 1 point to the ingredient quality score and 1 point to the transparency score.
- 5
Make the COA publicly accessible via a URL β this is required to move the third-party testing sub-score above its current level.
