Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses Lion's Mane fruiting body (Hericium erinaceus), scoring the maximum 4 points for source type. Dual extraction is disclosed, scoring 2 points for extraction method. The brand states a beta-glucan percentage of 10%, which falls in the 10–19% range and scores 1 point. The serving size is 1,000mg, meeting the threshold for 2 points on dose adequacy.
The brand publicly discloses the source type, extraction method, and country of origin (China), all of which contribute positively to the transparency score. The beta-glucan percentage is stated by the brand but is not publicly verified by a named third-party laboratory, scoring 1 point for that field. No COA is publicly available, scoring 0 points for that sub-dimension. The transparency penalty does not apply as fewer than three core fields are missing.
The beta-glucan percentage is brand-stated at 10%, giving 100mg of beta-glucans per 1,000mg serving. The cost per 100mg beta-glucan is £0.49, calculated from the subscription price of £29.44 across 60 servings (£0.4907 per serving). This places the product in the average tier (£0.41–£0.75 per 100mg), with a value score of 5.48.
No Trustpilot profile is publicly disclosed for this brand, scoring 0 points for that sub-dimension. The brand states that products are third-party tested, but no COA is publicly available, scoring 1 point for third-party testing.

How Mushrooms4Life could improve this score
Path to improvement
+1.9 points to reach Fully Verified
+1.9
pts needed
- 1
Publish a publicly accessible 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 2 points to the trust score.
- 2
Have the beta-glucan percentage verified by a named third-party laboratory and link the COA — this would move score_beta_glucan_disclosed from 1 to 2 points.
- 3
Disclose the cancel policy explicitly on the product or subscription page — this would move score_subscription_flex from 3 to 4 points.
- 4
Create a Trustpilot profile and gather verified customer reviews — a rating of 4.5 or above from 500 or more reviews would add 5 points to the trust dimension.
