What is microdosing?
+
The act of integrating sub-perceptual doses of medicinal mushrooms and adaptogens into your weekly routine for higher levels of creativity, more energy, increased focus, and improved relational skills.
Who is this for?
+
People looking to increase focus and productivity, positivity, creativity, and clarity; decrease stress; support recovery from trauma or PTSD; improve depression and anxiety; increase empathy and social ease; and improve physical performance and recovery time.
How often do I microdose?
+
There's no single formula. The Paul Stamets protocol suggests 5 days on, 2 days off, which fits a typical work week. Experiment to find what works best for you.
Will I be able to function on this during my normal routine?
+
First-time users may feel slight anxiety, so we recommend starting on a day off. Most regular users experience benefits in everyday life while following a standard 5-on, 2-off protocol.
What are the risks associated with microdosing?
+
Microdosing isn't for everyone. Consult your physician before combining with SSRIs or replacing medication, and speak with a doctor first if you have a family history of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis, or other mental health conditions.
Can I take multiple pills in the same day?
+
Yes, it's safe and sometimes necessary. The most important part is still taking your scheduled breaks to reset tolerance week over week.
Am I supposed to feel this?
+
The blend is designed for day-to-day functionality, so you likely won't feel a "buzz." Weight, alcohol, and food intake all play a role — take it on an empty stomach 20–30 minutes before a meal to feel it more.
What are the benefits of microdosing?
+
Reported benefits include improved outlook, appreciation of life, optimism, spiritual insight, being more in touch with emotions, focus, concentration, mindfulness, and attentiveness.
If I take multiple pills in a day, how should I spread them out?
+
Stick to a standard protocol. The Paul Stamets protocol involves a microdose with breakfast for 5 days, then a 2-day break to reset tolerance.
Will this affect my sleep schedule?
+
Take it in the morning with breakfast, or 15 minutes before. Mucuna pruriens and maca are natural stimulants, so be mindful of taking it later in the evening.
How long do the effects last?
+
Effects are often sub-perceptual, though some users report effects lasting 6 to 8 hours or longer.
Can I drink alcohol at night if I microdose in the morning?
+
This varies by person. Many report no adverse effects with moderate alcohol use well after microdosing, though effects of alcohol may feel more pronounced for some.
How long does it take to kick in?
+
Typically 20 to 45 minutes, though it's often sub-perceptual.
Can I take a second microdose if I don't feel it within the first hour?
+
Yes, but understand how the product affects you over time first, and journal your experience before increasing dose or changing schedule.
Is microdosing medicinal mushrooms addictive?
+
Generally, no. Proper microdosing doesn't present addictive traits, though tolerance can build with increasing doses — that's why a 2-day weekly break is recommended.
Will microdosing affect my decision making abilities?
+
Yes, in a positive way — the blend is intended to support increased cognitive function and response.
How do I know if microdosing is right for me?
+
Very few people it isn't for, but move carefully, track your response, and consult a physician if you're unsure.
What are the potential negative effects?
+
Negative effects are uncommon at small doses, though some report slight stomach upset. If you're new, start with a moderate 100mg daily dose for 5 days, then a 2-day break, and keep a journal.
Can I drive after taking my daily dose?
+
Start on a day with few obligations so you understand how it affects you first. Once understood, the Signature Blend is intended for everyday functionality.
How much does age factor into the effect of this product?
+
For adults with a fully developed brain, age generally isn't the main factor — weight, food consumption, alcohol tolerance, and liver function matter more.
What is the best time of day to take my daily dose?
+
In the morning with breakfast, following a 5 days on, 2 days off rhythm.
How long until I notice effects on mood or performance?
+
Changes often become noticeable in 1 to 3 weeks, though many people feel benefits almost immediately.
Can I use these for work?
+
Many believe adaptogens and medicinal mushrooms improve productivity and insight. If your work is dangerous or highly stressful, begin at home on a day off first.
Can these help with sports performance?
+
Many athletes believe microdosing and adaptogenic mushrooms support athletic performance, training effectiveness, and recovery.
