Score breakdown

Score Breakdown

Ingredient Quality5.0

The product uses fruiting bodies across all three species, lion's mane, cordyceps, and chaga, which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so no points can be awarded for that sub-dimension. The extraction method is not publicly disclosed, scoring 0, though the brand states extraction is used without specifying the method. At 3,000mg per serving, the dose scores the maximum 2 points for dose adequacy.

Transparency2.2

The brand publicly states the source type and country of origin, and notes that extraction is performed, but does not specify the extraction method or disclose a beta-glucan percentage. No COA is publicly available, and beta-glucan content has not been verified by a third party. Three or more core fields are not publicly disclosed, triggering the missing data penalty of minus 1 point.

Value2.0

Cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed.

How Spacegoods could improve this score

Path to improvement

+0.2 points to reach Partial Disclosure

+0.2

pts needed

1
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 transparency score and 3 points to trust score.
2
Disclose the beta-glucan percentage per serving, verified by a third party — this would add up to 4 points to ingredient quality score and 2 points to transparency score.
3
State the extraction method clearly on product pages (for example, hot water or dual extraction) — this would add up to 2 points to ingredient quality score and 1 point to transparency score.
4
Publish a per-species dosage breakdown showing how the 3,000mg is split across lion's mane, cordyceps, and chaga — this would improve transparency score and support value calculation.

Cogniscore Rating

3.82 / 10

Limited Disclosure

This score reflects disclosure completeness. Several key fields, including beta-glucan content, extraction method, and third-party testing, are not publicly available, which limits how fully Matcha Dust can be assessed.

Score Breakdown

Ingredient Quality 5.0 / 10

Matcha Dust uses fruiting bodies across all three species, which scores the maximum available points for source type. At 3,000mg per serving, the dose also scores the maximum points for dose adequacy. However, the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, so no points can be awarded for that dimension. The extraction method is not specified, scoring zero, though the brand does state that extraction takes place.

Transparency 2.22 / 10

Spacegoods publicly states the source type and country of origin and notes that extraction is used. Beyond that, key information is not publicly available. The extraction method, beta-glucan percentage, and third-party testing results are all absent. No COA is publicly accessible. Because three or more core fields are not disclosed, a missing data penalty applies.

Value 2.0 / 10

The cost per 100mg of beta-glucan cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. On subscription, the price per serving is approximately £1.11, which is above the £0.70 category benchmark. This score is based on price per serving alone, with one point deducted for the absence of beta-glucan disclosure.

Trust 4.0 / 10

Spacegoods holds a Trustpilot score of 4.0 from 8,660 reviews, which scores the maximum available points in that sub-dimension. Third-party testing is not publicly disclosed and no COA is available, scoring zero in that area. The product does not carry an organic certification from a named certifying body.

Consumer Experience 9.0 / 10

This dimension scores strongly. The subscription carries no lock-in period and a cancel-anytime policy, scoring the maximum points for subscription flexibility. A 30-day money-back guarantee is stated, scoring the maximum points for return policy. As a UK-based brand that ships to the UK, Matcha Dust also scores the maximum points for UK availability.

Information Not Publicly Disclosed

The following fields are not publicly available and could not be assessed: beta-glucan percentage per serving, extraction method, certificate of analysis, per-species dosage breakdown, and third-party beta-glucan verification. These gaps directly affect the ingredient quality, transparency, value, and trust scores.

How Spacegoods Could Improve Their Score

Because the overall score is below 8.0, Cogniscore has calculated the following actions that would raise the score if Spacegoods chose to act on them.

Publish a full-panel COA from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory, covering beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination. This could add up to 3 points to the transparency score and 3 points to the trust score.
Disclose the beta-glucan percentage per serving, verified by a third party. This could add up to 4 points to the ingredient quality score and 2 points to the transparency score.
State the extraction method clearly on product pages, for example hot water or dual extraction. This could add up to 2 points to the ingredient quality score and 1 point to the transparency score.
Publish a per-species dosage breakdown showing how the 3,000mg is split across lion's mane, cordyceps, and chaga. This would improve the transparency score and allow a more complete value calculation.

Pricing

Matcha Dust is priced at £39.00 one-off or £33.15 on subscription, giving a price per serving of approximately £1.30 (one-off) or £1.11 (subscription).
