frequently asked questions
Microdosing Basics
How do I start microdosing?
We recommend the Fadiman Protocol for beginners:
→ 1 day on, 2 days off — repeat for 30 days.
Our Focus & Flow journey includes 12 grams of fresh psilocybin truffles, a full protocol, weekly guidance, a dosage calculator, and daily tools.
Start with 0.5 to 0.75 grams on your first dose. Track how you feel, then adjust.
How should I take the microdose?
Take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, followed by a light breakfast.
Swallow the truffles with water — don’t chew them, as chewing may cause a stronger initial spike in effects.
What if I don’t feel anything?
Microdosing is subtle. If, after 1.5–2 weeks, you notice no shift in focus, energy, or emotional balance, slightly increase your dose. Also ask yourself:
→ Am I being mindful?
→ Am I journaling and reflecting on the changes I want to see?
Why do I feel drowsy or tired after dosing?
This is common for some. The body is adjusting. It usually passes after 1–2 hours. Try lowering your dose slightly or adjusting your breakfast timing.
Will I build tolerance if I microdose regularly?
No — not with the Fadiman protocol. The 2-day break between doses prevents tolerance from building.
Do I need to microdose forever?
Not at all. Most people do a 4–8 week cycle, take a break, and return only if they feel called to. Microdosing is a tool, not a daily crutch.
Can I drink coffee on microdosing days?
Yes — but ideally wait 2–3 hours after dosing. Taking both at the same time can make some people feel overstimulated or anxious.
Can I exercise while microdosing?
Absolutely. Many people report feeling more connected and present during movement, especially in nature or creative workouts.
Is microdosing safe while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We strongly advise against microdosing if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
Can I microdose while on medication?
If you’re taking medication — especially antidepressants (SSRIs) or anything affecting serotonin — please consult with a healthcare professional before starting.
Understanding Psilocybin
How does psilocybin affect the brain?
Psilocybin works by stimulating serotonin (5-HT2A) receptors and temporarily reducing activity in the Default Mode Network (DMN) — the part of your brain associated with rumination and mental chatter.
This allows for:
- Increased neural flexibility
- More present-moment awareness
- Better focus and emotional regulation
How can microdosing affect energy levels?
It depends on your body. Most people experience stable, calm energy throughout the day — not a jittery spike like caffeine. Some feel more creative, others more grounded. It’s subtle but noticeable with consistency.
Is microdosing safe if I have a mental health condition like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or a family history of psychosis?
If you have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder type I, or any form of psychosis, or if these conditions run in your immediate family, we strongly advise against microdosing — even in small amounts.
Psychedelic substances, including psilocybin, can destabilize mood and perception in individuals with underlying vulnerabilities, and in some cases may trigger latent symptoms.
Always consult a mental health professional before starting any microdosing practice — especially if you have a complex psychiatric history.
About Our Truffles
What are psilocybin truffles?
Psilocybin truffles are the underground part of the psilocybe mushroom — legal in the Netherlands and classified as a food product under EU law.
What kind of truffles do you use?
We use a strain of Sclerotia Mexicana, grown specifically for consistent psilocybin content and ideal for microdosing.
Why truffles and not mushrooms?
- Legal in the Netherlands
- Grown under controlled conditions
- Stable psilocybin content
- Easy to dose and pre-packaged
Where are they grown?
Our truffles are grown by a local Dutch farmer with over 30 years of experience, tested regularly for quality and safety.
Do you add anything to the truffles?
No — just pure, fresh psilocybin truffles. No fillers, no additives.
How do I store them?
Keep them in the fridge, sealed in their pouch. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 months. You can also freeze them for long-term storage.
What if the vacuum seal is broken?
It happens sometimes during transit. As long as the truffles are still cold and smell fresh, they’re safe. Refrigerate them and consume within 30 days.
How much psilocybin is in a dose?
Each microdose (~1g fresh truffle) contains approximately 1mg of psilocybin, though the actual experience depends on body chemistry, diet, and sensitivity.
Shipping & Orders
Do you ship across Europe?
Yes! We ship within the EU using a discreet, tracked delivery service. Packages usually arrive in 2–7 business days.
Is this legal in my country?
Psilocybin truffles are fully legal in the Netherlands and can be shipped across the EU under the principle of free movement of goods.
(⚠️ Please check your local regulations — you are responsible for your country’s import rules.)
