How to Microdose Golden Teacher Mushrooms
Microdosing became so popular because it allows you to kill two birds with one stone (sorry birdie) – get psilocybin advantages without the strong high and bodily effects commonly experienced at a full recreational dosage. Here is what common microdosing looks like: Optimal microdose: 50-100 mg, taken 1-2 times daily for 2-4 days;Moderate dose: 100-200 mg, taken 1-2 times daily for 2-5 days It is advised not to surpass a 250 mg dosage as it may result in a more powerful high that is unnecessary in day-to-day life. Always “start low and go slow”: take a single 50 mg capsule, allow 40-60 minutes for it to take effect, and then assess how you feel. You have a limit of 5 capsules per day, everything higher won’t be microdosing and potentially can give you high.
How to Take Golden Teacher Mushrooms Microdose
When you buy your first microdosing bottle with capsules we recommend storing it in a cool dark place and refrain from heating or chewing the capsules, as this might alter their effectiveness. Instead, swallow them whole with a glass of water. For optimal results, consume the capsules on an empty stomach, as this can enhance absorption and potency. IMPORTANT: Avoid mixing Golden Teacher microdose capsules with alcohol, antidepressants and other medications, as this could lead to unwanted side effects or interactions. There are various microdosing protocols to consider, as with microdosing consistency is the key.. Whichever protocol you choose, always remember to start with a low dose and carefully monitor your body’s response to adjust your intake accordingly.
The Fadiman Protocol
This protocol was developed by psychologist and father of “microdosing” as a concept James Fadiman. It involves taking a microdose of psilocybin every third day.
- The dose is typically around 0,2-0,5 grams of dried mushrooms (1 capsule);
- Take it in the mornings with breakfasts;
- Repeat for 4 – 8 weeks, then take a break for 2-4 weeks.
It is also advisable to keep a journal to track your experiences.
The Stamets Stack
A famous mycologist Paul Stamets developed a protocol that involves taking a combination of psilocybin, lion’s mane mushroom (non-psychoactive), and niacin (vitamin B3). The idea is that the lion’s mane and niacin help to enhance the cognitive and neurological effects of psilocybin.
- Take 1 microdose capsule along with Lion’s Mane (50 – 200 mg) and Niacin (100 – 200 mg) for 4 days;
- 3 days off psilocybin, only Lion’s Mane or completely no substances;
- Repeat the cycle maximum for a month.
It is advisable to take microdose capsules and Lion’s Mane in the morning on an empty stomach before breakfast. Wait for 15-20 min and take niacin. This way you’ll get the best results.
Nightcap Protocol
Unlike previous protocols, Nightcap takes advantage of psilocybin’s ability to make people sleepy and relaxed.
- 1 microdose capsule before sleep every second day;
- The second option looks like modified Fadiman protocol – 1 pill, 2 days off;
- Repeat the cycle for 4-8 weeks.
It is advisable to take a break for 2 to 4 weeks between protocols to avoid developing tolerance to micro doses of shrooms.
