Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses fruiting bodies across six species, which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, scoring 0 points on that sub-dimension. The extraction method is not publicly disclosed, scoring 0 points. Total mushroom content is 500mg per serving, which falls within the 500–999mg range and scores 1 point for dose adequacy.
The brand states that fruiting bodies are used, and a full-panel COA from third-party testing is described as available, scoring 3 points for COA. However, the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed and the beta-glucan source is recorded as not_disclosed, scoring 0 points on beta-glucan disclosure. The extraction method and country of origin are not publicly disclosed, and the platform has applied a transparency penalty of -1 because three or more core fields are missing.
The cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. The subscription price per serving is approximately £0.91 (using the 15% subscription saving), and the one-off price per serving is £1.07. Based on price per serving alone, which exceeds £0.70, a base score of 2.0 applies before the standard 1-point deduction for the absent beta-glucan data, giving a final value score of 2.0. This score reflects price per serving only and cannot account for active ingredient density.
The brand has a Trustpilot rating of 2.5 stars from 13 reviews. With fewer than 50 reviews, the volume is too low to draw meaningful conclusions from the rating, and the neutral score of 2 points applies. Third-party testing is confirmed with a full-panel COA, scoring 3 points. The product carries USDA Organic certification, a named certification body, scoring 2 points for organic status.
A subscription is available with a 15% saving and no lock-in, and the cancel policy wording suggests cancellation is possible at any time, scoring 4 points for subscription flexibility. A 30-day return policy is in place, scoring 3 points. The product ships to the UK from what appears to be an international brand, scoring 2 points for UK availability.

How Plant People could improve this score

+1.7 points to reach Well Documented

pts needed
- 1
Publish the beta-glucan percentage on the product page and have it verified by a third-party COA — this would add up to 4 points to ingredient quality score and 2 points to transparency score.
- 2
Disclose the extraction method (for example, hot water or dual extract) — this would add up to 2 points to ingredient quality score and 1 point to transparency score.
- 3
Publish the country of origin for the mushrooms used — this would add 1 point to transparency score.
- 4
Make the COA URL publicly accessible so consumers can view the full-panel results without requesting them — this would reinforce the existing third-party testing disclosure and improve data confidence.
- 5
Publish a per-species dosage breakdown — this would allow consumers to assess whether each mushroom is present at a research-relevant level.
