Our method marries scientific research with comprehensive educational material and premium truffles, all crafted to elevate your microdosing journey.
Microdosing involves the consumption of small doses of psychedelics, such as magic truffles, designed to integrate seamlessly into your daily routine without disrupting your normal functioning. Curious about why our community of over 30,000 members chooses to microdose? We dove deep with a survey and found that everyone’s reasons are as diverse as theirs.
Many in our community choose to microdose with psilocybin truffles or mushrooms primarily for the cognitive advantages they offer. Supporting evidence from various studies highlights the significant impact of microdosing on mental functions. By incorporating small doses of psychedelic substances like psilocybin into their daily lives, individuals report noticeable improvements in:
Emerging scientific evidence is highlighting the potential benefits of microdosing for enhancing emotional wellbeing. This growing body of research suggests that incorporating small doses of psychedelics, such as psilocybin truffles or mushrooms, into one’s routine can significantly affect mood and emotional equilibrium. Those in our community who microdose often report experiencing a range of positive effects, including:
As emerging research suggests, microdosing may have potential benefits such as enhancing mood and mental wellbeing. However, there is still much to learn in this evolving field. It’s essential to consider both the promising possibilities and the uncertainties that current studies present, including the potential role of placebo effects. Alongside this scientific exploration, our community continually provides positive feedback, which enriches our understanding and appreciation of the impact of microdosing.
Found microdosers had better mood and mental health outcomes compared to non-microdosers over one month (1).
Reported lower levels of anxiety and depression in adults who microdose psychedelics for health reasons (2).
This article discusses the challenges faced in clinical trials of psychedelic microdosing. It highlights the mixed results and the potential influence of the placebo effect in these studies, suggesting the need for further research to determine the effects of microdosing conclusively.
Starting your microdosing journey involves selecting a high-quality and potent psychedelic source that is pure and safe. At Apotheka Natura, we have curated psilocybin truffles that meet these important standards. To begin with, take a small dose of 0.5 grams of fresh psilocybin truffles and then gradually increase the amount until you experience the desired effect.
Embracing a structured approach to microdosing is key to unlocking its full potential. This structure, or “protocol” as it’s known, serves as a roadmap, guiding you through the process with scheduled dosing to maximize benefits and minimize the risk of building a tolerance. Without this kind of organization, your body might get too accustomed to the psilocybin, leading to diminished effects.
For those just starting out, diving into the Beginners Protocol, also known as the Fadiman Protocol, is a fantastic first step. It’s designed to gently introduce your system to microdosing. For the more experienced among us, the Advanced Protocol, which involves microdosing once every two days, might suit better.
It is essential to comprehend and adhere to these protocols. They are not just schedules; they are meticulously designed to assist you in navigating your microdosing journey, ensuring that each step you take brings you closer to the benefits you seek. Whether you are a novice or have more experience, there is a protocol tailored to your journey.

We recommend keeping a journal as you start microdosing. This is a good way to track your feelings, changes in creativity, focus, or mood. Doing this will help you adjust your microdosing schedule and amount to better fit your goals for personal growth and wellbeing. We encourage you to microdose mindfully, focusing on self-reflection and your connection with nature as important parts of the experience.
Before diving into microdosing, it’s key to check the legal status of psychedelics where you live and to think about your physical and mental health. At Spinoza, we stand for a mindful, well-informed approach to natural remedies, urging everyone to get advice and support when needed. Our goal? To help you forge a stronger bond with nature through practices that are not only safe but truly effective.
Microdosing is generally not considered addictive because the substances used, such as psilocybin truffles or LSD, do not cause physical dependence, which is a common trait of addictive substances. Moreover, the typical microdosing schedule involves taking breaks of several days between doses, which naturally prevents the formation of a habit. Unlike many conventional medicines, your body gradually builds resistance to these substances, reducing the risk of dependence. However, it’s important to approach microdosing mindfully and as part of a comprehensive, balanced approach to wellbeing, recognizing it as one element in a broader health strategy.
We have selected the Mexicana truffle for our microdosing products as its moderate potency and consistent psilocybin content are ideal for those seeking cognitive and emotional benefits without overwhelming effects. This variety subtly enhances creativity, mood, and focus, and perfectly aligns with the objectives of microdosing. Its gentle impact makes it suitable for beginners and anyone looking to integrate the benefits into their daily routine without disruption.
Proper storage of your microdosing truffles is crucial for maintaining their quality and potency. These truffles should be kept in a cool, dry, and dark place, ideally in an airtight container, to prevent moisture from seeping in. Refrigeration is often recommended to prolong their shelf life, but they should not be frozen as this can damage their cellular structure. Keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources is also essential to preserve their psychoactive properties.
Starting your microdosing journey is an exciting step that requires careful planning for a truly rewarding experience. First, think about what you want to achieve through it – maybe it’s a boost in creativity, emotional stability, or deeper self-reflection. Get to know the substance you’ll be using well. Learn about how it works, how much to take, and how often, so that it fits in with your daily life and goals. It’s also important to create a nurturing environment around you. Adding practices like meditation, journaling, or taking walks in nature can really enhance your microdosing process. And, make sure you’re mentally and physically ready before you begin, as it will greatly shape your experience. If you follow these steps, you’ll be on your way to a mindful and meaningful microdosing journey.

Microdosing is a safe practice, but it may be illegal in some places. It is important to be aware of the laws in your specific location and avoid any illegal activities. While there are no clinical research studies on microdosing in humans, studies on larger doses of psilocybin-containing truffles have shown that these substances are extremely safe. However, the long-term effects of frequent microdosing are still unknown. As a result, it is recommended to microdose for no more than two months at a time.
It’s important to note that microdosing does not have the same risks as taking larger doses of psychedelics, such as experiencing a “bad trip” or intense psychedelic effects. Microdosing is a safe and effective way to experiment with psychedelics in a comfortable and controlled environment.
It is important to understand that while psilocybin can be a transformative and profound experience for many people, it may not be suitable for everyone. There are certain situations and mental health conditions where caution or avoidance of psilocybin is recommended. These include:
Individuals with a history of mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or any other severe mental illness should avoid psilocybin. The psychedelic effects of psilocybin can potentially exacerbate symptoms or lead to unpredictable reactions.
If you are currently experiencing deep depressive feelings or are in a vulnerable emotional state, it’s advisable to refrain from psilocybin use. While psilocybin has shown promise in treating depression, its effects can be intense, and the experience may not be appropriate during a period of emotional vulnerability.
Some medications may interact with psilocybin, potentially causing adverse effects or reducing the effectiveness of the medication. It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional if you are taking any prescription medications.
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid psilocybin use due to the potential risks it may pose to the developing fetus or infant.
For individuals in any of these categories who are interested in exploring psilocybin, it is strongly recommended to consult with a qualified healthcare professional. A healthcare provider can assess your specific situation, provide guidance on potential risks and benefits, and determine if there are safer alternatives or therapeutic approaches. Your wellbeing and safety are paramount, and open communication with a healthcare professional is a responsible and essential step.
For an optimal microdosing experience, we advise taking it on an empty stomach. This approach ensures there’s no interference from food or variations in stomach acidity that could affect absorption.
Microdosing is not necessarily illegal. Several countries allow the cultivation and/or purchase of psilocybin truffles. We do not condone microdosing where it is against the law, as there can be penalties.
Psychedelics build up a tolerance very quickly. So when you use it too long, it loses its power. After 2 to 4 weeks your receptors will be reset and you can start again.
Note: Microdosing is foremost about gaining insights during your microdosing period and integrating these insights into your life. You could say a successful microdosing journey is when you no longer “need” it as support. It is useful to look back on your microdosing journey and reflect on what you have learned, what insights did you integrate already and what do you still need to work on.
Out of the more than 1850 reports Dr. James Fadiman and Sophia Korb have analyzed for their published paper “Might Microdosing Psychedelics Be Safe and Beneficial? An Initial Exploration”, 75 people (less than 4%) expressed not having a positive experience with microdosing.
The potential negative or unpleasant effects of microdosing mentioned in these reports include:
Fatigue – potentially because of a change in physical needs or as an indicator to address underlying emotional and/or physical needs
Tolerance (needing more of the substance each time to get the same effect) – It has not been scientifically proven yet, but Fadiman’s findings show that people report tolerance when microdosing every day instead of following one of the established microdosing protocols
Dealing with changes in your consciousness and your sensitivity can be challenging
Other risks of microdosing include nausea, headaches, or increased anxiety
We recommend not to drive a car when you take a microdose for the first time. If the microdose comes on too strong, you have taken too much, and you should not take part in traffic. Otherwise, you should be perfectly fine driving a car or other motorized vehicles while microdosing.
Microdosing can be a great attribute to your workout, as it can boost your cognitive functions which can result in better sports performances. For example: you become more aware of your own body and can thus find a better pace in your workout routine.
It is possible to microdose and drink alcohol, although we do not recommend it as the alcohol can lower the beneficial effects of microdosing.
