Microdosing

Small doses,
bigger days

A microdose is a small amount of mushrooms that fits inside an ordinary day. Focus sharpens, your mood levels out, and there is more room in your head than there was yesterday. It works just as well on a day that is packed as one that is wide open.

What to expect

What it actually feels like

Most people describe a small shift rather than a large one. Conversation comes a little easier, colour sits a little brighter, and the day has more room in it than it did yesterday. You are still yourself the whole time.

  • A gentle lift in mood or attention, never overwhelming
  • Clear headed enough to work, cook and hold a conversation
  • Some days you feel very little, which is completely normal
Find your dose
Choosing an amount

Start low, go slow

There is no prize for moving faster. Begin with the smallest amount on the pack and let it show you what it does before you reach for more.

Step one

Take the smallest amount

Whatever the lowest line on the pack says, begin there. You can always build on it later.

Step two

Keep the first day open

No long drive, no room full of strangers. Give yourself somewhere soft to land.

Step three

Repeat before you change it

Take the same amount a few times before you decide it is too little for you.

Building a schedule

Days on,
days off

Hardly anyone microdoses every single day. A common rhythm is one day on and two days off, or four days on and three days rested. The gaps do as much work as the doses. They let you tell what is you and what is the mushroom, and they keep the whole thing from quietly turning into a habit you no longer feel.

Pick a pattern, write it on the fridge, and stay with it for a few weeks before you touch anything. Most people who feel let down after a fortnight simply changed too many things at once.

Integration is just
paying attention

Integration is a big word for a small habit. Write one line in a notebook at the end of the day. How you slept, how you spoke to the people around you, whether you wanted to be outside. A single day tells you almost nothing. A month of one line days tells you plenty.

How long before I feel anything?

Usually inside an hour, and it stays gentle from there. If nothing seems to arrive, hold the same amount for a few more sessions before you decide to go up.

Can I work on a microdose day?

Most people do. It is subtle yet noticeable and it should sit underneath your day rather than on top of it. Keep your very first one lighter than usual while you learn how it lands.

How long should I keep going?

Give it a few weeks before you judge it. Plenty of people run a schedule for a month or two, take a proper break, then decide whether they want to start again.

Can I take this with my medication?

Ask your doctor. We are not able to advise on interactions with prescriptions, and that conversation belongs with someone who knows your history.

Will this help with anxiety or depression?

We cannot make claims like that, and we would not want to. Mycrologi products are not a treatment for any condition. If you are struggling, please speak with a healthcare professional.
