Score breakdown

Score Breakdown

Ingredient Quality3.3

The brand states fruiting body as the source type, which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The product contains Reishi and Chaga, for which dual extraction is the established standard to capture both beta-glucans and triterpenes, but the extraction method is not publicly disclosed. Beta-glucan percentage and total mushroom milligrams per serving are also not publicly disclosed, so both dose adequacy and beta-glucan percentage score 0.

Mushroom source type4.0/4
Beta-glucan %0.0/4
Extraction method0.0/2
Dose adequacy0.0/2
Transparency1.1

The brand publicly states that fruiting bodies are used, earning 2 points for source disclosure. No COA is publicly available, beta-glucan percentage is not disclosed, extraction method is not stated, and country of origin is not publicly disclosed. Four of the five core transparency fields are missing or unspecified, which triggers the missing data penalty of minus 1 point.

Value2.0

Cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. Price per serving is £1.00, which is above the category benchmark of £0.60 per serving. This score reflects price per serving only, with a 1-point deduction applied because beta-glucan content cannot be assessed.

Trust0.0

No Trustpilot score or review count is publicly disclosed. The brand does not state that third-party testing has been conducted and no COA is available. Organic certification is not claimed and no named certification bodies are listed.

Score reasoning

Ingredient Quality

The brand states fruiting body as the source type, which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The product contains Reishi and Chaga, for which dual extraction is the established standard to capture both beta-glucans and triterpenes, but the extraction method is not publicly disclosed. Beta-glucan percentage and total mushroom milligrams per serving are also not publicly disclosed, so both dose adequacy and beta-glucan percentage score 0.

Transparency

The brand publicly states that fruiting bodies are used, earning 2 points for source disclosure. No COA is publicly available, beta-glucan percentage is not disclosed, extraction method is not stated, and country of origin is not publicly disclosed. Four of the five core transparency fields are missing or unspecified, which triggers the missing data penalty of minus 1 point.

Value

Cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated because beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. Price per serving is £1.00, which is above the category benchmark of £0.60 per serving. This score reflects price per serving only, with a 1-point deduction applied because beta-glucan content cannot be assessed.

Trust

No Trustpilot score or review count is publicly disclosed. The brand does not state that third-party testing has been conducted and no COA is available. Organic certification is not claimed and no named certification bodies are listed.

Consumer Experience

Subscription is not available; the product is sold on a one-off basis, which scores a neutral 2 points. No return policy duration is publicly disclosed. The product ships to the UK from an unspecified location, scoring 2 points for international shipping availability.

How Variety Mode could improve this score

Path to improvement

+1.8 points to reach Partial Disclosure

+1.8

pts needed

  • 1

    Publish beta-glucan percentage per serving, verified by a third-party COA — this would add up to 4 points to ingredient quality and 2 points to 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 3 points to transparency and 3 points to trust score.

  • 3

    Disclose the total mushroom extract per serving in milligrams — this would allow dose adequacy scoring and add up to 2 points to ingredient quality score.

  • 4

    State the extraction method publicly (for example, dual extraction or hot water extraction) — this would add up to 2 points to ingredient quality and 1 point to transparency score.

  • 5

    Disclose the country of origin for the mushroom material — this would add 1 point to transparency score and remove the missing data penalty.
