Score breakdown
Score Breakdown
The brand states the product uses fruiting body material, which scores the maximum 4 points for source type. The extraction method is described as a concentrated extract, but this does not correspond to a recognised dual or hot-water extraction category, so it scores 0 for extraction method. Beta-glucan percentage and total mushroom extract per serving are not publicly disclosed, so both dose adequacy and beta-glucan percentage score 0. The product appears to be a gummy format (5g sugar per serving, servings per gummy of 2), which commonly results in a low total extract per serving.
The brand publicly states that the product uses fruiting body material and that an extraction process is applied, earning points for source and extraction disclosure. No COA is publicly available, beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed, and the country of origin is not stated. Three or more core fields are missing, so a penalty of 1 point is applied, giving a transparency score of 1.11.
No pricing data is publicly available for this product, so cost per 100mg beta-glucan cannot be calculated. Beta-glucan percentage is also not publicly disclosed, which would prevent this calculation even if pricing were available. A value score of 1.0 is applied to reflect the absence of all pricing and active-content data needed for assessment.
No Trustpilot score or review count is publicly available for this product. Third-party testing is not disclosed and no COA is available. The product does not carry an organic certification from a named body. All three trust sub-scores are therefore 0.
No subscription option is available, which scores a neutral 2 points under subscription flexibility. No return policy duration is publicly stated, scoring 0. The product ships to the UK from what appears to be an international brand, scoring 2 points for UK availability.

How Ankhway could improve this score
Path to improvement
+2.0 points to reach Partial Disclosure
+2.0
pts needed
- 1
Publish beta-glucan percentage from a third-party COA โ this would add up to 6 points across ingredient quality and transparency scores.
- 2
Disclose total mushroom extract per serving in milligrams โ this would add up to 2 points to the ingredient quality score.
- 3
Make a full-panel COA publicly available (testing beta-glucans, heavy metals, and microbial contamination from an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory) โ this would add up to 3 points to the transparency score and up to 3 points to the trust score.
- 4
Disclose the country of origin of the mushroom material โ this would add 1 point to the transparency score and help avoid the missing-data penalty.
- 5
Publish pricing, a return policy, and a Trustpilot profile โ these would allow value and trust scores to be calculated and could add several points to the overall score.

Cogniscore Overall Score
1.54 / 10
Insufficient Data
This score reflects the limited amount of information Ankhway publicly discloses about this product, not a judgement on the product itself.
Score Breakdown
Ingredient Quality 0.83 / 10
The brand does not publicly disclose whether the mushrooms come from fruiting bodies or mycelium. No beta-glucan percentage is disclosed. The extraction method is also not stated. The product earns one point because the total mushroom content of 500mg falls within the 500โ999mg range used in the scoring methodology. Without source type, extraction method, or beta-glucan data, the ingredient quality score is very low.
Transparency 0.00 / 10
Ankhway does not publicly disclose the mushroom source type, extraction method, beta-glucan percentage, country of origin for the mushroom material, or a certificate of analysis of any kind. Because four of the five core transparency fields are not disclosed, a missing data penalty applies. The transparency score is 0.0.
Value 2.00 / 10
A cost per 100mg of beta-glucan cannot be calculated because the beta-glucan percentage is not publicly disclosed. Under the fallback benchmark, a price per serving of ยฃ0.67 earns a base score of 3.0. One point is deducted because the beta-glucan percentage is not disclosed, leaving a value score of 2.0.
Trust 4.00 / 10
Ankhway holds a Trustpilot score of 4.4 from 6,557 reviews, which meets the threshold for 4 points under the 4.0โ4.4 band with 500 or more reviews. Third-party testing is not publicly disclosed, and no certificate of analysis is available. The product is not stated to be organically certified.
Consumer Experience 5.00 / 10
No subscription option is available, which scores a neutral 2 points. The product has a 30-day return policy, earning the maximum 3 points for that dimension. The product ships to the UK, though the brand does not appear to be UK-based, giving a score of 2 points for UK availability.
Information Not Publicly Disclosed
The following data points are missing from publicly available sources for this product:
- Beta-glucan percentage
- Extraction method
- Certificate of analysis (COA)
- Country of origin for mushroom material
- Mushroom source type (fruiting body or mycelium)
- Per-species dosage breakdown
- Verified beta-glucan content
How Ankhway Could Improve Their Score
Because the overall score is below 8.0, the following disclosures would raise it. Each action relates to publicly available information only.
- Disclose whether the mushrooms come from fruiting bodies or mycelium. This would add up to 4 points to the ingredient quality score.
- Publish a beta-glucan percentage verified by a third-party certificate of analysis. This would add up to 4 points to the ingredient quality score and up to 2 points to the transparency score.
- Publish a full-panel certificate of analysis 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 up to 3 points to the trust score.
- State the extraction method publicly, for example dual extraction or hot water extraction. This would add up to 2 points to the ingredient quality score and 1 point to the transparency score.
- Disclose the country of origin for the mushroom material. This would add 1 point to the transparency score.
