What is
Microdosing
What is Microdosing?
Microdosing is the practice of consuming a small dose of psilocybin and harnessing their effects for the sake of enhancing productivity, creativity, or other forms of personal growth.
Because you only take a fraction of a “normal dose”, you will not experience any ‘trippy’ effects or hallucinations. However, the effects on your creative output, intellectual capacity and general well-being can be substantial.
Microdosing is a practice that yields best results when done over an extended period of time following a dosing scheme, or protocol. The exact effects and results of this practice depend greatly on the person, the substance, the dosage and many other personal factors such as intentions, expectations and mindset.

The Science
Psychedelic substances act on the serotonin (5-HT) receptors in our brain. These receptors are found throughout our nervous system and govern many aspects of our being, including mood, thinking, and even our bowel movements.
Psychedelics bind most effectively to the 5HT-2A receptor, which is involved in learning, memory, and cognition.
As a result, when consuming only a microdose of a psychedelic substance, and thus avoiding the “classical trip,” it is believed that the brain can focus solely on the cognitive boost caused by these receptors.
Micrososing Protocols
After deciding why you want to microdose, you should decide on which protocol you want to use for your journey. We strongly advise microdosing according to a schedule indicating when and for how long you microdose. This kind of schedule is what we call a microdosing protocol. The most accepted and widely used ones are James Faradin Protocol, Microdosing Institute Protocol, and the Paul Stamets Stack.
Take a look at our flip chart below to see which protocol is best for you:
