Microdosing 101

A quieter way to feel better.

A microdose is a small amount of psilocybin, taken on a schedule, to gently shift focus, mood, and creativity. You stay clear-headed. You just feel a little more like yourself.

What is microdosing?

Small doses. Real shifts.

A microdose is typically between 75 and 250 milligrams of dried psilocybin, taken on a structured protocol rather than daily. The dose is too low to feel "high," but consistent enough to show up.

People microdose for focus, mood, creativity, and emotional steadiness. It is not a trip. It is a tool.

The short version

Subtle. Scheduled. Dosed to the milligram. You stay you, just dialled in.

Not a medical claim. Talk to your doctor before starting any protocol.

The benefits

What people actually say.

Focus.

Easier to settle into a task without grinding. The mental tabs close on their own.

Mood.

Less reactive, more grounded. Small things feel small. Big things feel manageable.

Creativity.

Ideas connect faster. Useful for writing days, problem-solving, or anything generative.

Energy.

Lift without the crash. Different texture than caffeine. Lasts most of the day.

Sleep.

Most people report deeper, more restorative sleep on protocol days.

Balance.

Hard to name. Easy to feel. The most common phrase: "I feel like me on a good day."

The protocol

One day on, two days off.

The Fadiman protocol is the most studied microdosing schedule. Take one dose, wait two days, repeat. It allows your body to reset between doses so you do not build tolerance.

Most people run this for 4 to 8 weeks, then take a 2-week break, then decide whether to continue.

Other protocols exist (Stamets stack, intuitive dosing) but Fadiman is the easiest place to start.

Common questions

Honest answers to real questions.

Will I feel anything?+

You shouldn't. If you feel altered, the dose is too high. A microdose is meant to be subtle yet noticeable. The effect is more about how the day goes than how you feel in the moment.

How long until it works?+

Most people notice subtle shifts in the first 1 to 2 weeks. The protocol's full effect builds over 4 to 6 weeks.

Can I take it with my medication?+

Talk to your doctor first. SSRIs and lithium are the main interactions to ask about. We can't give medical advice but we can share what's known.

Is it legal?+

Regulation varies by province and state. Read our compliance note before ordering, or ask the team in chat.

How do I know it's safe?+

Every batch of raw product is third-party tested for psilocybin content and contaminants. The milligram on the label is the milligram in the capsule.
