Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses Reishi fruiting body (Ganoderma lucidum), which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The brand states a beta-glucan percentage of 21%, placing this in the 20–29% range and scoring 2 out of 4. The extraction method is not publicly disclosed, scoring 0. The serving size is 1,000mg, which meets the threshold for the full 2 points on dose adequacy.
The brand states the source type clearly and discloses a country of origin (Europe), earning full marks on both fields. The beta-glucan percentage is brand-stated rather than third-party verified, scoring 1 out of 2. No COA is publicly available and the extraction method is not disclosed, which limits the transparency score. No transparency penalty applies as fewer than three core fields are missing.
Beta-glucans per serving are calculated at 210mg, based on 1,000mg total mushroom and a brand-stated 21% beta-glucan content. At a price per serving of £0.5198, the cost per 100mg beta-glucan is £0.2475, placing this in the £0.21–£0.40 tier. The value score of 7.76 reflects this position within that tier. The subscription saving of 10% falls below the 15% threshold, so the one-off price per serving is used.
The brand has a Trustpilot score of 4.6 from 1,362 reviews, meeting the threshold for the maximum 5 points. Third-party testing is stated as true, but no COA is publicly available, scoring 1 out of 3. The product is stated as organically certified, but no certification body is named, scoring 1 out of 2.
A subscription is available with no lock-in stated, though the cancellation policy is not clearly described publicly, scoring 3 out of 4. The return policy is 21 days, which falls in the 14–29 day range and scores 2 out of 3. The brand operates in the UK and ships to the UK, scoring the maximum 3 points for UK availability.

How Erbology could improve this score
Path to improvement
+1.7 points to reach Fully Verified
+1.7
pts needed
- 1
Publish a COA from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory covering beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination — a full-panel COA would add up to 3 points to the transparency score.
- 2
Disclose the extraction method used for the Reishi fruiting body — for Reishi, dual extraction is the standard for capturing both beta-glucans and triterpenes, and stating this would add 1 point to the ingredient quality score and 1 point to the transparency score.
- 3
Have the beta-glucan percentage verified by a named third-party laboratory and publish that result — this would increase score_beta_glucan_disclosed from 1 to 2 points.
- 4
Name the organic certification body — confirming which body has certified the product would increase score_organic from 1 to 2 points.
- 5
Clarify the subscription cancellation policy publicly — stating that subscribers can cancel at any time would increase score_subscription_flex from 3 to 4 points.
