What is Microdosing:
- Microdosing involves taking a sub-perceptual dose of psilocybin mushrooms regularly to harness the incredible benefits of the medicine, without experiencing the hallucinogenic or sensory-altering effects associated with larger doses. This allows you to go about your day-today without interruption!
The Benefits of Microdosing:
- Users report feeling like an improved version of themselves upon microdosing, with common benefits of including increased productivity, better mood, enhanced creativity, and overall sense of well-being.
- Microdosing is also gaining recognition for its ability to mitigate symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic stress, and attention deficit.
- Psilocybin has been deemed as a form of breakthrough medicine in the realm of mental health treatment.
Are there any contraindications?
- Microdosing may interact with other medications such as antidepressants (SSRIs), or stimulant drugs such as Methylphenidates. It is important to consult with a trust-worthy healthcare professional before weaning off any prescribed medications.
Is microdosing safe?
- Psilocybin has been regarded as the safest substance by the Global Drug Survey, showing less health risks than alcohol and marijuana.
- When acquired from a high-quality and trustworthy source, psilocybin is known to be a safe, non-addictive, and highly-beneficial substance.
Is microdosing addictive?
- Psilocybin mushrooms typically do not lead to any form of dependence and are regarded as non-habit-forming because they do not directly trigger the brain’s reward system in the same way as other addictive substances do.
How do I microdose?
- Microdosing is a simple yet expansive practice, where acquiring pre-measured, high-quality microdose capsules will make the process easier for you. You can find our microdose capsules here. For beginners, we carry a Beginner’s Bundle with everything you need to begin your microdosing practice.
- While seasoned microdosers may choose to microdose intuitively, many will follow a microdosing protocol for added benefit and consistency in their practice.
- Protocols such as the Fadiman protocol or the Stamets Stack protocol are the most reputable in the microdosing community, which you can learn all about on our blog!
Is It safe to perform my typical responsibilities while microdosing?
- Because microdosing only involves a small fraction of a typical dose, the effects are sub-perceptual and non-intoxicating. However, for first-time users, we highly recommend reserving your initial microdosing experience for a day free of any responsibilities to best analyze your reaction to the medicine.
- While the onset effects of the medicine are often unnoticeable, you may need to experiment with different dose sizes in order to find your optimal dose for daily use.
How long until I feel improvements?
- The transformative benefits of microdosing may vary from person to person, with some experiencing improvements in as little as 2 days, while others may require following a protocol for 1-2 months to notice these benefits.
- Outcomes may also vary depending on the intention of use, as well as medical history, body composition, and state of mind.
What do I do if the effect is too strong?
- If you find the effects of your dose to be too strong, pay attention to your breathing and ensure that you are well-hydrated. Understand that the effects are temporary, and you can alleviate any unpleasant feelings by focusing on your breath and allowing time to pass.
- During your first or second time microdosing, you may experience mild feelings of overwhelm. However, this is not unusual and will fade over time as your body adjusts to the new practice. If these feelings persist, we highly recommend starting with our lowest dose, which is 30mg, as you may be particularly sensitive to the medicine.
Will the product upset my stomach?
- If you are someone who experiences stomach sensitivity, psilocybin may cause mild nausea in some users. Taking your microdose with food and ensuring that you are hydrated should help mitigate the chance of stomach upset.
Does Macrodosing feel a lot different than Microdosing?
- As you might expect, the higher the psilocybin content, the more potent the effects will be. While microdosing is a non-perceptual practice, macrodosing is a sensory-altering experience that can impact sight, smell, and touch. Macrodosing involves a dose size suitable for experiences outside of day-to-day responsibilities and is not intended for use before work or any situation where sobriety is required.
- While our Macro Capsules or Ritual Therapy Capsules can provide a connective, sensory-altering experience, our Albino A+ Chocolate Hearts offer our highest dose per unit, suitable for those seeking a full-fledged entheogenic experience.
What is the difference between the Golden teacher and the Albino strain?
- The Golden teacher and Albino strain are both well-known universally by fungi lovers, but differ in appearance and genetic makeup.
- Golden Teachers are optimal for novice users, offering a manageable, spiritual experience even in higher doses, providing warmth and guidance toward inner exploration.
- Albino mushrooms, a genetic mutation of Psilocybe Cubensis, induce euphoria, relaxation, and creativity. While they also produce visual effects, users may find Golden Teachers to be more potent in this regard.
- While different strains may have varying characteristics, what matters more is the dosage you are taking rather than the specific strain when it comes to the effects you will experience.
What is the difference between Divinity and Neuro Blend?
- Both top-selling microdose capsules, the Neuro and Divinity blends subtly differ to offer users various benefits depending on their intentions
- The primary distinction lies in the inclusion of Reishi in our Divinity Blend, added for its additional sleep support and stress-reduction qualities. We consider the Divinity Blend ideal for individuals prioritizing healing and deepening mindfulness practices in their microdosing regimen.
The Neuro Blend, on the other hand, does not include Reishi, allowing the Lion’s Mane component to take center stage. The Neuro Blend promotes focus and clarity, making it ideal for those focusing on cognitive enhancement and mental sharpness in their microdosing journey.
How many milligrams of psilocybin are in each capsule?
- We do not measure by exact milligrams of psilocybin, we measure by the content of dry psilocybe, which is the dried mushroom weight. There is approximately 10mg of “psilocybin” in 1 gram of dry psilocybe.
How long does shipping take?
- Depending on your location, shipping can take between 1 to 5 business days after your order has been processed.
