ABOUT MICRODOSING
To learn more about microdosing including dosage, schedules and much more, check out our Guide to Microdosing provided by Neuro Botanicals. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
Please contact us so we can advise you on the best product for your specific goals.
As a rough guide to choosing NeuroBotanicals you could use the following.
MOOD – Brain Formula or Adapt
CLARITY – Focus or Brain Formula
CREATIVITY – Focus or Brain Formula
ACUTE STRESS – Calm
CHRONIC STRESS – Adapt
ACUTE FATIGUE – Energy
CHRONIC FATIGUE – Adapt
PERFORMANCE – Focus or Energy
MEDITATION – Calm or Focus
We are not qualified to make any medical claims. But we wrote an article looking at current research and the potential for microdosing to help with depression and anxiety symptoms.
Your likely feeling the “Niacin Flush” Its very rare that this happens as Brain Formula only contains 50mg of Niacin. But its important to know that Niacin may cause redness, tingling, heat and itchyness on areas of the skin for some people. You can websearch “Niacin Flush”to learn more. Although it is temporarily uncomfortable it is totally safe. If you experience this feeling while taking Brain Formula you can simply reduce your intake of Niacin in other forms (multivitamin, food etc). Post menapausal women seem to be most likely to experience a sensitivity to Niacin.
NeuroBotanicals suggests taking your dose away from coffee because users report that it momentarily increases anxiety. If your not concerned with anxiety, there is no other issue with microdosing and caffiene, as far as we know.
You don’t have to take your dose with food. NeuroBotanicals suggests this because the effects are typically stronger when consumed on an empty stomach. This could especially be an issue for sensitive users or those struggling with anxiety. But there is no harm in dosing while fasted.
This differs from person to person and depends on several factors. 50mg of a quality microdose product is a good place to start. You can see how you feel and then try 50mg in the morning and 50mg in the afternoon. Or 100mg at a time.
The potency of the mushrooms, age of the product, synergy of the other ingredients are a few factors along with personal considerations like sensitivity to psilocybin (which has nothing to do with your weight), hormones, diet, sleep, stress, caffeine etc that can all change the effects. So there is no one size fits all. Start low and go slow.
ABOUT MUSHROOMS
That really depends on a several factors. Some varieties such as Penis Envy are stronger than others. Mushroom chocolates seem to increase the intensity of the come up. But generally a good starting place for a decent trip would be 1-2 grams and then wait an hour. After that you can take more until the desired effect is reached.
There’s a lot to choose from. If you need help narrowing it down, take our product recommondation quiz that will help match your goals, to our mushrooms.
TAKE THE QUIZ
While no two trips are the same. Generally they go something like this:
Come up: First two hours. Peak: roughly 3-4 hours after ingesting. Come down: From hours four to six.
The rest of what might happen is between you and the mushrooms.
The mushroom experience tends to come on and off in waves. Especially towards the end. You may feel like the trip is completely over but its best to give yourself time before heading back into performing tasks like driving.
Definitely! Have some tea and chocolate together. Or Combine Goldent Teachers, for their euphoric effect, with Transkei, for their colourful visuals.
We typically suggest Golden Teachers for beginners. They tend to be friendly, euphoric and vibrant. A nice introduction to magic mushrooms.
Penis Envy is famous for being the most potent P. cubensis variety available. Its more expensive but far stronger than other mushrooms.
ABOUT DOSE
We live and work in the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. Vancouver, BC.
No, we are online only.
Far from it! There’s no trust funds here and no venture capitalists. We’re just a small group of enthusiasts that put this together out of a love for mushrooms and the folks that want to work with them.
We grow about 30% of the varieties sold on our site. The rest are provided by 2 different locals growers that meet our standards of production. This means we have less selection than other dispensaries but we can guarantee every mushroom sold on Dose was grown with love and a commitment to quality.
