Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses fruiting body mushrooms across three species: Lion's Mane (800mg), Cordyceps (1,000mg) and Chaga (200mg), with a total of 2,000mg per serving, which meets the threshold for the maximum dose adequacy score. The beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so the active compound concentration cannot be assessed independently. Extraction method is stated as disclosed but no specific method is named, so it scores 0 on extraction quality. Per-species dosage is provided, which adds useful context even though beta-glucan content remains unknown.
The brand clearly states that fruiting body mushrooms are used and discloses per-species dosage, earning full marks for source disclosure. Extraction is stated as disclosed but the method itself is not named, so a COA is not publicly available, and the beta-glucan percentage is not disclosed from any source. Country of origin for the mushroom materials is not publicly disclosed, and three or more core fields are missing, triggering the transparency penalty of -1.
Cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. The price per serving is ยฃ1.50 on a one-off basis. The subscription saving of 11% is below the 15% threshold used to apply a subscription price, so the one-off price is used for value scoring. With no beta-glucan data available, the value score is 0.0, reflecting that the key metric for cost efficiency cannot be determined from publicly available information.
No Trustpilot profile is publicly available for this product, so no rating or review count can be assessed. The brand states that third-party testing is conducted, but no COA is publicly available to support this claim, resulting in a score of 1 for third-party testing. The product holds Soil Association organic certification, a named certifying body, which earns the maximum organic score of 2.
The brand offers a subscription with no lock-in and a cancel-or-reschedule-anytime policy, earning the maximum subscription flexibility score. A 60-day return policy is publicly stated, which exceeds the 30-day threshold for the maximum return policy score. The brand operates in the UK and ships to the UK, earning the maximum UK availability score of 3.

Score reasoning
Ingredient Quality
The product uses fruiting body mushrooms across three species: Lion's Mane (800mg), Cordyceps (1,000mg) and Chaga (200mg), with a total of 2,000mg per serving, which meets the threshold for the maximum dose adequacy score. The beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so the active compound concentration cannot be assessed independently. Extraction method is stated as disclosed but no specific method is named, so it scores 0 on extraction quality. Per-species dosage is provided, which adds useful context even though beta-glucan content remains unknown.
Transparency
The brand clearly states that fruiting body mushrooms are used and discloses per-species dosage, earning full marks for source disclosure. Extraction is stated as disclosed but the method itself is not named, so a COA is not publicly available, and the beta-glucan percentage is not disclosed from any source. Country of origin for the mushroom materials is not publicly disclosed, and three or more core fields are missing, triggering the transparency penalty of -1.
Value
Cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. The price per serving is ยฃ1.50 on a one-off basis.

How MOGU could improve this score
Path to improvement
+0.8 points to reach Partial Disclosure
+0.8
pts needed
- 1
Publish beta-glucan percentage per serving, verified by a third-party COA โ this would add up to 4 points to ingredient quality score and up to 2 points to transparency score.
- 2
Make a COA publicly available on the product page, covering beta-glucans, heavy metals and microbial testing from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory โ this would add up to 3 points to transparency score and up to 3 points to trust score.
- 3
Disclose the extraction method used (for example, hot water or dual extraction) โ this would add up to 2 points to ingredient quality score and 1 point to transparency score.
- 4
Publish the country of origin for the mushroom raw materials โ this would add 1 point to transparency score.
- 5
Create a Trustpilot profile and gather verified customer reviews โ reaching 500 or more reviews at 4.5 stars or above would add up to 5 points to trust score.
