FAQ

IGNITION Microdosing_ truffles

What is microdosing?

Microdosing is taking a tiny bit of a psychedelic substance, around 5-10% of a regular dose,. You do this on a regular basis with the intention to improve the quality of your life.

Because you take such a small dose, you don’t experience a trippy effect. Instead, the goal is to experience subtle, often imperceptible effects that can have potential benefits for mental well-being and creativity.

How do I start microdosing?

To get started, it's important to choose a protocol that aligns with your experience level and goals:

  • For beginners we recommend e.g. the Fadiman Protocol, named after James Fadiman. This involves taking a microdose once every three days. This schedule allows you to experience the effects and observe changes over time without a significant commitment. Continue this schedule for 4-6 weeks and take a break of 2-4 weeks before starting this protocol (or another) again. 

Look at the section "Protocols" to explore other microdosing options.

How long do I microdose?

Regardless of the protocol, we suggest following it for approximately 6 weeks. This period allows enough time to assess how microdosing affects your cognitive function, mood, and overall well-being.

Taking Breaks: After completing a 6-week cycle, we strongly recommend taking a break of 4 weeks. This pause helps prevent tolerance build-up, gives your body and mind time to integrate the experience, and maintains the effectiveness of the microdosing regimen

Are there any negative side effects?

While microdosing psilocybin is reported by many to offer potential benefits, it's important to be aware of the possible side effects and risks associated with this practice. As with any substance that affects brain function, the experiences can vary greatly from person to person, and not all effects may be beneficial. 

Especially when you are new to psilocybin and experimenting to find our 'sweet spot'. When you've taken too much you experience a bit of agitation or feeling nervous, like drinking too much coffee. If that's the case, lower your dosage. 

It can also be the case that you feel really tired. This could be because you've been living a stressful life and this tiredness is coming out now. In that case we suggest you microdose in the evening, before going to bed. 

Or it could be that you've taken too much and we advice you to lower your dosage.

Can I consume IGNITION Microdosing_ after the expiration date?

Our microdosing truffles are a fresh product. We can guarantee high quality truffles when it's consumed before this date and if the truffles have been stored in the fridge. It might be possible to use them after this date, because there's a small margin. But we cannot guarantee this. If you decide to use them after, this will be your own responsibility We do highly recommend to smell them before use, since our nose is always a good indicator if something is still good ;).

Do I chew the truffles?

If you're beginning, we do not recommend to chew. When you swallow them directly with water the the psychoactive compounds are released slower, which creates a longer but less intense effect.

If you want to have a more intense effect faster, you are more than welcome to chew.

How much should I take?

In general, a microdose with truffles is between 0.5 and 2 grams.

If you're just starting out we recommend to start low, with 0.5 grams and feel what it does. Especially when you're sensitive to coffee or alcohol, take it easy!

You can slowly increase until you've found your 'sweet spot'; the dosage where you experience the positive benefits without significant adverse effects.

How many IGNITION Microdosing_ packages do I need?

That totally depends on your dosage and protocol.

Every package contains 6 x 1 gram of micrdosing truffles.

For example if you're following the Fadiman protocol, the beginners protocol, you have 14 microdosing days if you follow it for 6 weeks (42 days / every 3 days 1 MD).

So, if your sweet spot is 1 gram you need 3 packages.

In general we recommend you to buy 2 packages if you're starting out and need to find your sweet spot. Finish those packages and take then a break of 2-4 weeks before you start another microdosing cycle again.

How do I store the truffles and when do they expire

Because it's a fresh product it needs to be stored in the fridge. When unopened and cooled they are good for about 2 months or check the date on the packaging.

And no worries if your package is a bit delayed, they can be outside of the fridge for up to 10 days.

If you want to keep them longer it's also possible to dry them. Cut the truffles into small pieces and let them dry on a paper towel at room temperature. You'll notice that the truffles become smaller because they start to dehydrate. Therefore make sure that you lower your dosage, because the same weight will contain more of the active component, psilocybin.

Is microdosing addictive?

Microdosing has not been shown to be addictive in healthy individuals.

Because you can experience so many positive effects from the truffles we do advice you take a close eye on your relationship with the truffles.

Therefore we suggest to take a minimum of 2-4 weeks break in between microdosing cycles, to prevent tolerance for the substance.
