Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The product uses fruiting bodies of Lion's Mane, Cordyceps militaris, and Chaga, which scores at the top of the source type scale. The total mushroom content is 3,000mg per serving, which meets the threshold for the highest dose adequacy score. The beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so it scores 0 on that sub-dimension. The extraction method is not publicly disclosed, despite extraction being listed as stated, so it scores 0 on that sub-dimension.
The brand publicly states it uses fruiting bodies and discloses the country of origin as England. However, the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed and no COA is available. Three or more core fields (beta_glucan_pct, extraction_method, coa_available) are missing, so a transparency penalty of -1 has been applied by the platform.
The cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. The subscription price is £33.15 for 30 servings, giving a price per serving of £1.10 after the 15% subscription saving (which meets the 15% threshold). Using the price-per-serving fallback, a score of £1.10 per serving falls in the £0.71–£1.20 range, giving a base score of 2.0, with 1 point deducted because cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated. The current category median cost per 100mg beta-glucan is £0.0853, but this figure cannot be applied here due to the absence of beta-glucan disclosure.
The brand has a Trustpilot score of 4.5 from 10,045 reviews, which meets the top threshold of 4.5 stars and 500 or more reviews, scoring 5 points. Third-party testing is not publicly disclosed and no COA is available, scoring 0 on that sub-dimension. Organic certification is not publicly disclosed, scoring 0.
A subscription is available with no lock-in and a cancel-anytime policy, scoring at the top of the subscription flexibility scale. The brand offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, scoring 3 points on return policy. The product ships to the UK and is based in England, scoring 3 points on UK availability.

How Spacegoods could improve this score
Path to improvement
+1.8 points to reach Well Documented
+1.8
pts needed
- 1
Publish the beta-glucan percentage for each mushroom species, verified by a named third-party laboratory — this would add up to 4 points to the ingredient quality score and 2 points to the transparency score.
- 2
Publish a full-panel 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 3 points to the trust score.
- 3
Disclose the specific extraction method used for each species — this would add up to 2 points to the ingredient quality score and contribute to the extraction_stated field already credited.
- 4
Publish a per-species dosage breakdown showing how the 3,000mg total is split across Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, and Chaga — this improves transparency and consumer confidence without requiring reformulation.
