Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses Lion's Mane fruiting body, which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The extraction method is hot water extraction, which is the established standard for Lion's Mane and scores 1 point. The beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so no points can be awarded for that sub-dimension. The total mushroom extract per serving is 500mg, which sits at the lower boundary of the 500–999mg band and scores 1 point for dose adequacy.
The brand publicly states both the source type (fruiting body) and the extraction method, scoring 2 and 1 points respectively. No COA is publicly available, the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, and the country of origin is not publicly disclosed. Three or more core fields are missing, so the missing-data penalty of minus 1 applies, giving a raw transparency total of 2 from a possible 9.
Cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. The price per serving is £0.6663, which falls within the £0.41–£0.70 benchmark range, giving a base score of 3. One point is deducted because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, leaving a value score of 2.0. This score reflects price per serving only.
The brand has a Trustpilot score of 4.5 stars from 50 reviews, which meets the star threshold but falls below the 500-review count required for 5 points, scoring 3 points. Third-party testing is not publicly disclosed and no COA is available, scoring 0 points for that sub-dimension. The product is not organically certified, scoring 0 points for certification.
No subscription option is available, which scores a neutral 2 points. No return or money-back guarantee policy is publicly disclosed, scoring 0 points. The product ships to the UK from what appears to be an international brand, scoring 2 points for UK availability.

Publish a beta-glucan percentage for the Lion's Mane extract, verified by a named third-party laboratory — this would add up to 4 points to ingredient quality and 2 points to transparency scores.
- 2
Make a COA publicly available from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory covering beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination — this would add up to 3 points to transparency and 3 points to trust scores.
- 3
Disclose the country of origin for the mushroom source — this would add 1 point to the transparency score and remove the missing-data penalty.
- 4
Publish a clear return or money-back guarantee policy — this would add up to 3 points to the consumer experience score.

Limited Disclosure
This score reflects how completely Healthy Yeti discloses information about this product. Several core data fields are not publicly available, which limits how fully the product can be assessed.
Score Breakdown
Ingredient Quality 5.83 / 10
The product uses Lion's Mane fruiting body, which is the source type used in clinical research and scores the maximum points for that field. Hot water extraction is the established method for Lion's Mane and scores accordingly. The 500mg dose per serving sits at the lower boundary of the 500–999mg range, earning one point for dose adequacy. Healthy Yeti does not publicly disclose a beta-glucan percentage, so no points can be awarded for that field.
Transparency 2.22 / 10
The brand publicly states the source type (fruiting body) and the extraction method, earning points for both. No Certificate of Analysis is publicly available. The beta-glucan percentage and country of origin are not publicly disclosed. Because three or more core fields are missing, a penalty applies, bringing the raw transparency total to 2 from a possible 9.
Value 2.0 / 10
The price per serving of £0.67 falls within the £0.41–£0.70 benchmark range, which gives a base score of 3. One point is deducted because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, making a true cost-per-milligram-of-active-compound calculation impossible. This score reflects price per serving only and cannot account for potency.
Trust 3.0 / 10
Healthy Yeti holds a Trustpilot score of 4.5 stars, which meets the star threshold. However, 50 reviews falls well below the 500-review count required for the maximum score, so 3 points are awarded for this field. Third-party testing results are not publicly disclosed and no COA is available, scoring 0 points for that field. The product is not organically certified, scoring 0 points for certification.
Consumer Experience 4.0 / 10
No subscription option is available, which scores a neutral 2 points. No return or money-back guarantee policy is publicly disclosed, scoring 0 points for that field. The product ships to the UK, scoring 2 points for availability.
