Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses fruiting bodies of lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus), cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis), and chaga (Inonotus obliquus), scoring the maximum 4 points for source type. Total mushroom content is 2,300mg per serving, with lion's mane and cordyceps each at 1,100mg and chaga at 100mg, meeting the threshold for 2 points on dose adequacy. Beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so that sub-score is 0. The extraction method is stated as taking place but is not specified (no method such as hot water or dual extraction is named), so the extraction method sub-score is also 0.
The brand clearly states that fruiting bodies are used and discloses that an extraction process is applied, earning points on both those sub-dimensions. However, beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, no certificate of analysis is publicly available, and the country of origin of the mushroom material is not stated. Three or more core fields are missing, so the transparency penalty of minus 1 point applies.
The cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. The price per serving is £1.67 (based on the one-off price of £50 for 30 servings; the subscription saving of 10% does not meet the 15% threshold required to use the subscription price). At £1.67 per serving with no beta-glucan data available, the value score is 0.0.
No Trustpilot profile is publicly listed, so the trust score for that sub-dimension is 0. The brand states that third-party testing is carried out, but no certificate of analysis is publicly available, giving 1 point for third-party testing. Organic certification is confirmed through the Soil Association, a named certification body, earning the full 2 points for that sub-dimension.
The subscription is available with no lock-in and an explicit cancel-anytime policy, scoring the maximum 4 points for subscription flexibility. The return policy is 60 days, which exceeds the 30-day threshold for the full 3 points. The brand operates in the UK and ships to the UK, scoring 3 points for UK availability.

Score reasoning
Ingredient Quality
The product uses fruiting bodies of lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus), cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis), and chaga (Inonotus obliquus), scoring the maximum 4 points for source type. Total mushroom content is 2,300mg per serving, with lion's mane and cordyceps each at 1,100mg and chaga at 100mg, meeting the threshold for 2 points on dose adequacy. Beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so that sub-score is 0. The extraction method is stated as taking place but is not specified (no method such as hot water or dual extraction is named), so the extraction method sub-score is also 0.
Transparency
The brand clearly states that fruiting bodies are used and discloses that an extraction process is applied, earning points on both those sub-dimensions. However, beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, no certificate of analysis is publicly available, and the country of origin of the mushroom material is not stated. Three or more core fields are missing, so the transparency penalty of minus 1 point applies.
Value
The cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. The price per serving is £1.67 (based on the one-off price of £50 for 30 servings; the subscription saving of 10% does not meet the 15% threshold required to use the subscription price). At £1.67 per serving with no beta-glucan data available, the value score is 0.0.
Trust
No Trustpilot profile is publicly listed, so the trust score for that sub-dimension is 0. The brand states that third-party testing is carried out, but no certificate of analysis is publicly available, giving 1 point for third-party testing. Organic certification is confirmed through the Soil Association, a named certification body, earning the full 2 points for that sub-dimension.
Consumer Experience
The subscription is available with no lock-in and an explicit cancel-anytime policy, scoring the maximum 4 points for subscription flexibility.

How MOGU could improve this score
Path to improvement
+0.8 points to reach Partial Disclosure
+0.8
pts needed
- 1
Publish a beta-glucan percentage for each species, verified by a named third-party laboratory — this would add up to 4 points to the ingredient quality score and up to 2 points to the transparency score.
- 2
Make a certificate of analysis publicly available, ideally a full-panel COA from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory covering beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination — this would add up to 3 points to the transparency score and up to 3 points to the trust score.
- 3
State the extraction method clearly (for example, hot water extraction or dual extraction) — this would add up to 2 points to the ingredient quality score and 1 point is already credited for stating that extraction takes place.
- 4
Disclose the country of origin of the mushroom material — this would add 1 point to the transparency score.
- 5
Create and publish a Trustpilot profile — a verified rating from 50 or more reviews would add up to 5 points to the trust score.
