Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses fruiting body mushrooms across six species, which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so the beta-glucan score is 0. The extraction method is not publicly disclosed, scoring 0 for that sub-dimension. Total mushroom content is stated at 500mg per serving, which falls within the 500–999mg band and scores 1 point.
The brand publicly states the source type and has a full-panel COA available, scoring 3 points for COA disclosure. However, beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed and the extraction method is not stated, both scoring 0. Country of origin is also not publicly disclosed, and three or more core fields are missing, triggering a penalty of -1 point.
Cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. The subscription price per serving is approximately £0.91, which falls within the £0.71–£1.20 range, giving a base value score of 2.0 before the 1-point deduction for undisclosed beta-glucan percentage. This score reflects price per serving only.
The product has a Trustpilot score of 4.5 stars from 980 reviews, scoring the maximum 5 points. Third-party testing is confirmed with a full-panel COA publicly stated, scoring 3 points. The product holds USDA Organic certification from a named body, scoring 2 points.

How Plant People could improve this score
Path to improvement
+0.5 points to reach Well Documented
+0.5
pts needed
- 1
Publish beta-glucan percentage per serving on the product label or website, verified by a named third-party laboratory — 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 extraction) publicly — 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 mushroom material — this would add 1 point to transparency score and remove the missing-data penalty.
- 4
Make the COA URL publicly accessible on the product page — this would strengthen the existing full-panel COA disclosure and improve verifiability.
- 5
Provide a per-species dosage breakdown for the six mushroom species in the blend — this would give consumers a more informed purchase decision and address a key data gap.
