Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses Reishi fruiting body, the highest-scoring source type, at a disclosed dose of 1,000mg per serving, which meets the threshold for full dose adequacy marks. A dual extraction method is stated, which is particularly relevant for Reishi as it allows extraction of both water-soluble beta-glucans and alcohol-soluble triterpenes. Beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so score_beta_glucan_pct scores 0 regardless of the otherwise strong source and extraction disclosures.
The brand clearly states fruiting body source and dual extraction method, earning full marks for those fields. No COA is publicly available, beta-glucan percentage is not disclosed, and country of origin is not publicly disclosed. Three or more core fields are missing, triggering a transparency penalty of -1, which reduces the normalised transparency score.
The price per serving is £0.94 on subscription (15% saving applied) and £1.10 one-off. Beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated. The value score is based on price per serving only and falls into the very high cost per active unit band, scoring 1.0. This score reflects price per serving only, not beta-glucan delivery.
No Trustpilot profile or review data is publicly available, so score_trustpilot scores 0. The brand does not disclose third-party testing and no COA is publicly available, so score_third_party_testing scores 0. The product holds Soil Association and EU Organic (GB-ORG-05) certification, both named bodies, earning the maximum 2 points for organic certification.
A subscription is available with no lock-in disclosed, though the cancellation policy is not clearly stated on publicly available pages, scoring 3 points. The return policy is 14 days, which falls within the 14 to 29 day band and scores 2 points. The brand operates in the UK and ships to the UK, earning 3 points for UK availability.

How Mushrooms4Life could improve this score
Path to improvement
+0.2 points to reach Partial Disclosure
+0.2
pts needed
- 1
Publish beta-glucan percentage on product labelling or website, verified by a third-party COA — this would add up to 4 points to ingredient quality score and up to 2 points to transparency score.
- 2
Make a full-panel COA publicly available from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory, covering beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination — this would add up to 3 points to transparency score and up to 3 points to trust score.
- 3
Disclose the country of origin of the Reishi fruiting body — this would add 1 point to transparency score.
- 4
Create a Trustpilot profile and gather verified reviews — this would add up to 5 points to trust score once sufficient reviews are collected.
- 5
Clarify the subscription cancellation policy in writing on the website — this would move subscription flexibility from 3 to 4 points.
