Score Breakdown
Ingredient Quality7.5
The product uses Lion's Mane fruiting body, which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The brand discloses a beta-glucan percentage of 25%, verified by a third-party COA, placing it in the 20–29% band and scoring 2 out of 4. The extraction method is hot water extraction, which is the established standard for Lion's Mane, scoring 1 out of 2; dual extraction is not standard for this species. The product provides 1,000mg per serving, meeting the threshold for the full 2 points on dose adequacy.

Extraction method1.0/2
Dose adequacy2.0/2
Transparency8.9
The brand publicly discloses source type, extraction method, country of origin (Canada), and a beta-glucan percentage verified by a third-party COA, earning a full-panel COA score of 3. The beta-glucan figure is attributed to a third-party COA, though the name of the laboratory is not publicly disclosed. No transparency penalty applies, as fewer than three core fields are missing or unspecified. The raw transparency score of 9 out of 9 normalises to 8.89 after accounting for the missing lab name, which does not itself trigger a penalty but is noted in data gaps.

Value2.0
The subscription price of £33.99 for 45 servings gives a price per serving of approximately £0.76 (using the 15% subscription saving, which meets the 15% threshold). Each serving contains 250mg of beta-glucans, giving a cost per 100mg beta-glucan of £0.8887, which falls in the £0.76–£1.20 band and scores 2.0 out of 10. This reflects a high cost per active unit relative to the Veriwell benchmark, though the figure is calculable only because beta-glucan percentage is publicly disclosed.

How Real Mushrooms could improve this score
Path to improvement
+1.5 points to reach Fully Verified
+1.5
pts needed
- 1
Publish the name of the third-party laboratory that issued the COA — this would increase scoring confidence and add approximately 0.5 points to the transparency score.
- 2
Name the organic certification body on the product page or packaging — this would add 1 point to the trust score by moving score_organic from 1 to 2.
- 3
State the subscription cancellation policy explicitly (for example, 'cancel anytime with no notice period') — this would confirm the full 4-point score for subscription flexibility.
- 4
Make the COA publicly accessible via a direct URL — this would increase verifiability and consumer confidence in the disclosed beta-glucan figure.
- 5
Begin shipping to the UK or list UK retail availability — this would add up to 3 points to the consumer experience score by moving score_uk_availability from 0.
