Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses Lion's Mane fruiting body (Hericium erinaceus), which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. A dual extraction method is disclosed, scoring 2 points. Total mushroom content is 1,000mg per serving, which meets the threshold for 2 points on dose adequacy. The beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so the beta-glucan sub-score is 0.
The brand states the source type (fruiting body) and extraction method publicly, earning 2 and 1 points respectively. No COA is available and the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, scoring 0 on both those sub-dimensions. The country of origin is not publicly disclosed, and three or more core fields are missing, triggering a transparency penalty of -1.
The beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated. The subscription price of £23.38 for 20 servings gives a price per serving of £1.169, which falls above £1.20 at the one-off price of £1.375, but the platform used the subscription price as the saving meets the 15% threshold. At £1.169 per serving, the value score is 1.0, reflecting a high cost per serving where active compound content cannot be independently assessed.

How Mushrooms4Life could improve this score
Path to improvement
+0.2 points to reach Partial Disclosure
+0.2
pts needed
- 1
Publish the beta-glucan percentage from a third-party COA — this would add up to 4 points to the ingredient quality score and 2 points to the transparency score.
- 2
Make a full-panel COA publicly available (covering beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory) — this would add 3 points to the transparency score and 3 points to the trust score.
- 3
Disclose the country of origin for the mushroom raw material — this would add 1 point to the transparency score.
- 4
Publish a Trustpilot profile with verified customer reviews — this would add up to 5 points to the trust score once sufficient reviews are collected.
- 5
Clarify the subscription cancellation policy in full — this would allow the subscription flexibility score to reach 4 points.
