Starting microdosing often raises the same question: What is the correct microdosing dose?
The ideal amount is a personal matter. That is why, at Wise Rootz, we work according to the principle of the sweet spot: Start gently, observe, and only adjust the amount when there is a reason to do so.
So your microdosing ‘sweet spot’ isn’t a fixed standard dose, but the amount that works best for you within your own microdosing process.
Are you new to microdosing? If so, read this first what microdosing is and how it works.
Your sweet spot is the amount at which microdosing works for you remains subtle and fits in well with your normal day.
Microdosing is all about subtlety and balance. Choose an amount that fits in well with your normal day, whilst consciously observing what you experience.
You need to be able to function, work and communicate normally. Sometimes it’s only when you look back later in the day that you realise certain things didn’t go as they usually do.
Take a look, for example, at your concentration, mood, energy levels and general functioning throughout the day.
That’s why a ‘sweet spot’ isn’t an exact figure that applies to everyone. It’s something you discover by measuring, observing and reflecting gets to know.
As part of the Wise Rootz protocol, we advise beginners to start with 0.5 grams of fresh microdosing truffles.
Use this amount during your first microdosing sessions and give yourself time to see how it suits you.
It’s best to plan your first time for a quiet day. Take your microdose in the morning and resist the urge to take any more during the day if you don’t notice much of an effect.
It is precisely this subtle experience that characterises microdosing.
At Wise Rootz, we recommend that Fadiman protocol. Each microdosing day is followed by two rest days:
Day 1 – Microdosing Day
Take your chosen microdose in the morning and observe your experience throughout the day.
Day 2 – First rest day
Don’t take a microdose, but keep an eye on how you’re feeling.
Day 3 – Second rest day
You won’t be taking a microdose today either. Use this day to continue observing and reflecting.
Day 4 – Another day of microdosing
This is where the cycle begins again.
Rest days are particularly valuable when it comes to finding your sweet spot. They give you the chance to compare experiences and prevent you from adjusting your dosage too quickly.

Does 0.5 grams suit you well, but would you like to find out, after several microdosing sessions, whether a slightly higher dose might be a better fit?
You can then gradually increase the dose during your next microdosing session to 0.75 grams.
Observe again.
Don’t just focus on how you feel immediately after taking it; look at your whole day. How was your concentration? How did your energy levels feel? How did you cope with a busy environment or distractions? Was there any difference compared to your rest days?
Does 0.75 grams feel right? If so, there’s no need to change anything.
If 0.75 grams still feels very subtle, you could consider increasing the dose to 1 gram.
Within the Wise Rootz protocol, 1 gram is the maximum recommended amount.
But this is important:
Your sweet spot determines when you stop building up.
Do 0.5 or 0.75 grams feel right for you? If so, you can stick to that amount.
The aim is, in fact, to lowest suitable quantity to find one that suits your personal microdosing process.
Microdosing should remain subtle.
Are you experiencing noticeable psychoactive effects, confusion or restlessness, or are you finding it harder to function normally? If so, this may be a sign that the dose you have chosen is too high for you.
In that case, please not on the same day.
Next time you microdose, try a lower dose and observe the effects again.
Do not drive or operate machinery if you are experiencing noticeable psychoactive effects.
You don’t need to find your sweet spot as quickly as possible.
It is precisely by using the same amount several times before making any changes that you gain a better understanding of your personal experience.
What’s more, sleep, stress, diet, your environment and your mental and physical condition can vary from day to day.
A single day of microdosing therefore does not tell the whole story.
Building up gradually gives you more information than constantly changing your dose.
Your rest days are also part of the process.
Compare how you feel on a day when you’re microdosing with a day when you’re not taking a microdose.
It is precisely this comparison that can be useful when you’re trying to work out which amount is right for you.
At Wise Rootz, microdosing is therefore not just about what you take, but about the whole process:
Measure. Observe. Reflect.
Your memory isn’t always the best guide when you want to compare different days.
That’s why, with the Wise Rootz Microdosing Box, you get access to the Wise Rootz app.
Use the app to track your dosage, intentions and experiences, and to view your progress over several days of microdosing and rest days.
That makes it much easier to recognise patterns and refine your personal sweet spot.
The correct microdosing dose does not necessarily have to be the same for everyone.
So start by 0.5 grammes, give yourself plenty of time to observe and only increase the dose when there is a valid reason for you to do so.
You can then examine, step by step, whether 0.75 grams or, ultimately, a maximum of 1 gram suits you better.
But always stick to the most important principle:
Don’t look for the most intense experience. Look for the level that suits you.
