Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses Cordyceps militaris fruiting body, which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The extraction method is disclosed as a hot water extract, which is the established standard for Cordyceps and scores 1 point. The serving provides 1,000mg of mushroom extract, meeting the threshold for the full dose adequacy score of 2 points. Beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so that sub-score is 0.
The brand clearly states both the source type (fruiting body) and the extraction method (water extract), earning 2 and 1 points respectively. No certificate of analysis is publicly available, beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, and country of origin is not publicly disclosed. Three or more core fields are missing, so a penalty of minus 1 point has been applied to the transparency score.
The price per serving is £0.9352, based on the subscription price of £23.38 across 25 servings. Beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated. The value score of 1.0 reflects the price per serving against the category benchmark, with a further deduction because beta-glucan content cannot be verified.
No Trustpilot profile is publicly listed for this brand, so the trust score for that sub-dimension is 0. Third-party testing is not publicly disclosed and no certificate of analysis is available, scoring 0 for that sub-dimension. Organic certification is confirmed through two named bodies, the Soil Association and EU Organic (GB-ORG-05), scoring the maximum 2 points.
A subscription is available with no lock-in; however, the cancellation policy is not clearly described, so the subscription flexibility score is 3 rather than the maximum 4. The return policy is 14 days, scoring 2 points. The brand operates in the UK and ships to the UK, scoring the maximum 3 points for availability.

How Mushrooms4Life could improve this score
Path to improvement
+0.5 points to reach Partial Disclosure
+0.5
pts needed
- 1
Publish a beta-glucan percentage on the product label and website — this would add up to 4 points to the ingredient quality score and unlock cost-per-100mg beta-glucan value calculation.
- 2
Make a certificate of analysis publicly available, ideally covering beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory — this would add up to 3 points to the transparency score and up to 3 points to the trust score.
- 3
Disclose the country of origin of the Cordyceps militaris fruiting body — this would add 1 point to the transparency score.
- 4
Create and maintain a Trustpilot profile — a verified rating from 50 or more reviews would add up to 5 points to the trust score.
