MICRODOSING GUIDELINES
​
Sizeable anecdotal data has proven microdosing to be extremely beneficial in enhancing people's well being.
​
The main benefits reported are :
- Increased focus
- Increased creativity
- Improved memory
- Better mood
- Increased flow state
- Helps ailments such as: anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD And much more !
​
We recommend to follow these protocols in order to enjoy the full effects of micro-dosing. Taking breaks during doses help to keep your tolerance low to the 5HTP (serotonin receptors). You do not want to build a tolerance so you can keep enjoying the benefits of psilocybin. The good news is, there is no addictive effects from psilocybin. We recommend trying these protocols for at least a month in order to feel the full effects.
​
We propose two different protocols from 2 well-known experts in the field. You can do more research on both these protocols and choose which one suits you best.
​
If it is your first time micro-dosing psilocybin, we propose the following:
Step 1: Micro-Dose for the first on a quiet day where you don't have any important task to accomplish. If possible take time to journal, be in a quiet space and ideally on your own. Start with only one capsule.
Step 2: After trying a few times, you can start to micro-dose on a daily basis. You do not need to take more than one capsule a day unless you feel like you would like a boost in the afternoon.
Both protocols will have similar results, it is a matter of preference. Results is also dependant on the person. Everyone's experience using microdosing will be unique although similar benefits might be experienced.
​
All of this considered, Ancient Mind do not offer any medical advice or promote illegal activities. Please talk to a medical practitioner if you have any health concerns. Always use care and discernment when using any medicines.
FADIMAN PROTOCOL
James Fadiman has studied the benefits of therapeutical psychedelic therapies for years. His book, The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide addresses the immediate and long-term effects of psychedelic use for spiritual (high dose), therapeutic (moderate dose), and problem-solving (low dose) purposes. Fadiman outlines the best practices for safe, sacred entheogenic voyages learned through his more than 40 years of experience–from the benefits of having a sensitive guide during a session (and how to be one) to the importance of the setting and pre-session intention.
​
Day 1: Take Ancient Mind microdose in the morning on an empty stomach.
Day 2: No Dose
Day 3: No Dose
Day 4: Back to day 1 and repeat. You are basically taking a microdose one day, none for two days, and then taking one again.
PAUL STAMETS PROTOCOL
Paul Stamets is one of the most reputable, decorated, and self-practiced mycologists in the world. He has dedicated his life, energy, and enthusiasm to the study of fungi and is the owner of a gourmet and medicinal mushroom distributor, Fungi Perfecti. Paul has also written six books on mushrooms and starred in a recently released documentary on the amazing benefits of mushrooms, Fantastic Fungi.
Microdose 5 days on, 2 days off. Repeat. Take Ancient Mind microdose in the morning on an empty stomach. Can be combined with 100mg niacin to boost overall medicinal effects. Stamets believes that “this unique combination of compounds can be incorporated into other therapies with such combinations providing unique advantages for medically significant advancements in repairing neurons, removing amyloid plaques, improving mental health, cognition, agility, and improving overall the ecology of consciousness."
