Are you new to microdosing and would you like to understand what it involves first? Then read our comprehensive guide on what microdosing is and how it works.
A mindful microdosing process begins with gradually building up your intake, observing and reflecting. This guide will help you, step by step, through your first few days of microdosing and in finding a dosage and routine that suit you
Initial dose: 0.5 grams of fresh truffle
Time: preferably in the morning
Intake: swallow the small truffles with a sip of water
Cocoa: 1 Wise Rootz cocoa lozenge
Assembly: if necessary, gradually increase to a maximum of 1 gram
Objective: finding your personal sweet spot
Keep track of: Record your experience in the Wise Rootz app
Save: Store truffles in a cool place at 4–5 °C
Important: 1 gram is not a target. If 0.5 gram works well for you, there’s no reason to increase your dose.
We recommend that you microdose in the morning to be taken.
This way, you’ll have plenty of time throughout the day to calmly observe how you’re feeling and whether the amount you’ve chosen suits you.
It’s best to start on a day when you’ve got some free time and no important commitments planned. Especially during your first few days of microdosing, it’s nice to be able to discover how you react without any expectations.
Wise Rootz recommends the Fadiman protocol:
Day 1: microdosing → Day 2: rest → Day 3: rest → Day 4: microdosing again.
Would you like to understand why there are rest days between microdosing days, or what other schedules are available? Read more about the The Fadiman protocol and other microdosing protocols.
Rest days are an important part of the process and give you the opportunity to observe how you feel when you are not taking a microdose.
When you first start, we recommend a starting dose of 0.5 grams of fresh truffle.
This is half a portion of Wise Rootz.
Everyone reacts differently to psilocybin. Factors such as individual sensitivity, experience and circumstances can influence how a particular dose is experienced.
That is why, at Wise Rootz:
Start low. Observe. Only then make any necessary adjustments.
The aim is not to work towards a higher quantity as quickly as possible.
The Wise Rootz microdosing truffles are deliberately small in size, so that they can be taken easily.
Take the amount you have chosen small truffles with a sip of water.
Are you just starting out with microdosing? If so, make sure you 0.5 grammes on.
You don’t need to aim for a clearly noticeable effect. Microdosing is, in fact, intended to be a subtle experience that fits in with your normal daily activities.
Next, take one Wise Rootz cocoa lozenge and let it melt slowly in your mouth.
Make a conscious effort to take a moment for this. Savour the cocoa and use this moment to slow down a little before getting on with your day.
At Wise Rootz, cocoa forms part of the ritual surrounding your microdosing experience.
Before you start your day, take a moment to reflect on your intention.
What would you like to observe today? What would you like to pay closer attention to?
It doesn’t have to be big or complicated.
You might want to focus on your concentration, creativity, energy or the way you deal with certain situations.
A simple question may be all it takes:
What do I want to focus on consciously today?
You could write down your intention in your journal or in the Wise Rootz app.
After that, you won’t have to keep asking yourself:
Can I feel anything yet?
Carry on with your day as normal and just observe without forcing anything.
For example, pay attention to:
It is precisely when you do this over several days of microdosing and rest that certain patterns may become clearer.
At the end of the day, you use the Wise Rootz app to record your experience.
For example, make a note of the amount you’ve used and complete your personal check-in.
By doing this consistently, you’ll be able to look back at what you’ve recorded throughout your microdosing process, rather than relying solely on your memory.

Rest days are part of the microdosing process.
On these days, please not a microdose, but do keep paying attention to what you’re experiencing.
How’s your energy? How are you feeling? How’s your concentration? Do you notice any difference compared to a day when you’re microdosing?
It is precisely the combination of microdosing, rest and reflection gives you a more complete picture of your personal experience.
After your first few microdosing sessions, you can assess how 0.5 grammes how it feels to you.
Do you find 0.5 grams pleasant and subtle? If so, you don’t need to change a thing.
Is the experience very subtle, and do you want to find out, after several microdosing sessions, whether a slightly higher dose suits you better? If so, you can increase the dose during your next microdosing session to 0.75 grams.
Give yourself some time again to observe this amount.
Is 0.75 grams still very subtle? If so, you could perhaps increase the dose during your next microdosing session to 1 gram.
Within the Wise Rootz protocol, 1 gram is the maximum recommended amount.
0.5 grams → starting point
Start with a low dose and stick to this amount during your first few microdosing sessions.
0.75 grams → possible intermediate step
Only increase the dose if there is a clear reason to do so after several attempts.
1 gram → maximum amount, not a target
You don’t have to work your way up to 1 gram.
Sweet spot → personal
Does 0.5 or 0.75 grams feel right? If so, stick to that amount.
Are you experiencing noticeable psychoactive or psychedelic effects? If so, the dose you have chosen is too high for you for the purpose of microdosing.
For more information on adjusting your quantity, please also read How do you find your microdosing sweet spot?
Do you find that your microdose is noticeably stronger than intended, are you feeling restless, or are you experiencing psychoactive effects that don’t fit in with your normal daily activities?
Then don’t have any more.
Do not increase the dose the next time you microdose; if anything, opt for a lower dose. If you do not feel comfortable with the experience, stop the microdosing process.
Do not drive or operate machinery if you are experiencing noticeable psychoactive effects.
Fresh truffles must be kept chilled.
You should therefore store your Wise Rootz microdosing truffles in the in the fridge at 4–5 °C and check the use-by date on the packaging.
Do not leave the truffles out of the fridge for longer than necessary.
With cocoa, temperature fluctuations can sometimes cause a slight white or grey haze to appear. This is bloom mentioned.
Bloom can be caused by changes in the fat or sugar crystals on the surface and does not necessarily mean that the cocoa has gone off.
Store the cocoa in a dry place, away from heat and extreme temperature fluctuations.
There is no single ‘perfect’ microdosing experience.
It is precisely because start slowly, take your time and observe mindfully, you’ll be given the opportunity to discover what suits you best.
That is why the Wise Rootz process revolves around three simple steps:
Measure. Observe. Reflect.
Don’t aim for the strongest possible effect, but consciously focus on your own experience.
