Are you ready to unlock nature's hidden powers? From ancient remedies to modern science, the truffle offers a unique and powerful experience, improved cognitive function and a host of other potential benefits.
In this guide, we will take you on a journey of discovery through the world of microdosing. We will discuss the science behind why microdosing works, the basics, the benefits and risks, and how to start microdosing safely. So let's get started to discover how microdosing can be beneficial for you.
Microdosing is the practice of taking a very small dose of often a psychedelic substance, which people incorporate into their daily routine. The idea behind it is to increase levels of creativity, energy and focus, while simultaneously reducing stress, anxiety and emotional instability.
It is similar to taking extra vitamins and minerals, a practice that athletes, students, businessmen and intellectuals have used for years.
Although microdosing has been used for thousands of years, modern use has become more common thanks to recent clinical research into its potential health benefits.
One of the most striking aspects of microdosing is its ability to increase neural connectivity. This happens because new connections between different brain regions are stimulated. As a result, anxiety and depression can be overcome, problem-solving ability is enhanced and people can live more in the here and now.
Athletic stamina can also benefit from microdosing, and many people report increased energy, without the anxiety or subsequent crash often associated with other stimulants.
Microdosing with truffles has been associated with numerous positive effects on mental health. Studies have shown that microdosing can increase psychological well-being, creativity and focus, while also reducing stress and depression levels. It has also been reported that users experience a greater sense of connection with themselves. Microdosing can even reduce anxiety and help improve clarity of thought.
Microdosing with truffle and cocoa is associated with numerous positive physical health effects. Studies have shown that microdosing can reduce inflammation, reduce pain and improve overall energy levels. Moreover, it has been shown to improve overall heart health, strengthen the immune system and even help treat various neurological disorders. The potential therapeutic effects of microdosing still need further investigation, but these results indicate that there is a lot of promise in this area.
Psychedelic substances such as psilocybin, found in natural truffles, affect various neurotransmitters and brain regions. The serotonin receptor is a major target of psychedelics. These changes in neurotransmitter activity can lead to a restructuring of brain connectivity, resulting in the observed effects of microdosing. These changes may contribute to improved mood and cognitive function, increased creativity and increased focus, among other things.

Preparation for microdosing is as important as the dose itself. Before starting any microdosing process, it is crucial to do enough research and educate yourself. Learn about what microdosing is, how natural truffles work and what effects to expect.The products should be stored in a safe place and taken at the right time with due respect.
Every individual is unique and will react differently to microdosing with natural truffles. Therefore, determining the right dosage (sweet spot) is often a matter of testing and patience. It usually starts with a very low dose (often 0.5gr), and is gradually adjusted based on individual reactions. It is crucial to be patient and follow the process carefully.
The recommended dosage on a microdosing day for microdosing truffles is usually between 0.5-1.5 grams.
Starting with a small dose when microdosing is important because it gives your body time to adjust and gradually increase over time. This is to find the right dosage for your individual needs. Read more about how to consume here.
Finding your sweet spot for microdosing is a process. Start with a low dose and gradually increase it until you find the amount that works best for you.

Several protocols can be used in microdosing. We believe James Fadiman's protocol is a good basis for the first microdosing experiment. This protocol is based on a 3-day cycle. Try this microdosing protocol for at least a month to find out what works for you. Read our blog with more information on the different protocols here.
We recommend combining your microdosing process with natural truffles with self-reflection and integration. Keeping a (digital) diary can help you track the effects of microdosing and understand how they affect your life.
Give yourself time to adjust to microdosing. Effects can vary and can be subtle, so be patient and observe carefully. If you do not experience the desired results, adjust the dose within the recommended limits. It is important to remember that microdosing is not a magic solution and effects can be subtle. Every individual reacts differently, so it may take some time before you notice the benefits. Stay responsible and informed as you undertake this exciting journey of self-discovery and growth.
Microdosing with natural truffles is generally considered safe, but as with anything, there are risks involved. We will discuss some of these risks and outline the most important precautions you should take to ensure a safe and responsible microdosing experience.
- Stomach upset and nausea: Pcilocybin may cause mild stomach upset and nausea in sensitive individuals. Therefore, we recommend consuming it in combination with cocoa
- Headache: Psilocybin can cause headaches in some people. This is often an indication of too high a dose.
- Fatigue: Especially when microdosing psilocybin, fatigue can occur. Some experience this as a drawback, while others take the microdose before bedtime (the Nightcap protocol).
- Visual tracers in men with colour blindness: Some men with colour blindness reported so-called "tracers" in their visual field. These images or lingering colours could persist for days.
- Bipolar disorder: People diagnosed with bipolar disorder reported benefiting from microdosing during their depressive phase, but would advise against it during a manic phase.
- Psychological Stress: Although microdosing is sub-perceptual, some people may experience anxiety, paranoia or discomfort.
Precautions
- Quality and Sources: If you decide to use natural truffles, make sure you obtain them from a reliable source that carries out quality control.
- Dosage: Always start with a very low dose.
- Read and learn: Take the time to learn about microdosing and how they act on the body and mind.
- Tracking and Self-reflection: Keep a diary of your microdosing experiences. This can help you track the effects and understand how they affect you.
- Self-care: Take good care of yourself while microdosing. Eat healthy, get enough sleep and avoid using other substances that can interfere with the effects.
- Consult a Professional: If you have mental health conditions or are on medication, consult a doctor before you start microdosing. Some medications may have interactions with magic truffles.
By understanding these risks and taking proper precautions, you can get the most out of the benefits of microdosing with natural truffles. Safety and responsibility are paramount when exploring this practice.
