Track your experiences in a diary or in an app if you use the microdosing. For example, write about your findings, experiences and feelings. Moreover, write down how productive you are, what mood you experience and in what state of mind you are. You will record the benefits and disadvantages for yourself. That ultimately helps you to find the ideal microdosition, from which you experience the most benefits.

How does the beginners course work?

Most of our customers start with a beginner course. It is your introduction to microdosing.
Thanks to our explanation in the step-by-step plan you can easily start. You take a microdosing the first day. In the two days that follow you take no microdosing. Take the following microdosing on day 4 and repeat that rhythm for 4 to 8 weeks.

The routine then looks like this:
• Day 1: take a microdosing.
• Day 2: do not take a microdosing.
• Day 3: do not take a microdosing.
• Day 4: repeat, so start again at day 1.

Take notes during the course and experience how it influences your productivity, creativity and energy level. Describe the (subtle) differences that you experience from day to day. That will help you later to improve your routine with microdosing.
Note: it is normal that you experience some light effects the day after the (first) microdosing. On day three they will be disappeared.

Tip: track your experiences during the days in a diary or with an app. That will provide you with more insight into the effects and about the changes in it over time. It will help you later to find your sweet spot.

Can you microdose and exercise?

Yes, microdosing can even help you perform better. You experience a boost in your cognitive functions. As a result, you will perform better in some sports. You are more aware of your own body. That makes it easier to get into a rhythm.

Top athletes who microdose experience benefits like improved:
• Concentration
• Coordination
• Balance
• Reflexes

In addition, your sporting capabilities and fatigue to be more specific will increase when you microdose.
Some customers even experience that they can enter a flow state more easily. This is a state in which you seem to float, in which time slows down and in which everything seems to go naturally. Others use their microdosing after exercise. They then experience a clear and relaxed feeling.

Can I microdose while I’m on antibiotics?

No, it is not wise to microdose if you use antibiotics. Your brain contains many neurons, which communicate through synapses. If you combine medicines and microdosings, the combination can be disrupted by stimuli and damping. This has to do with the neurotransmitters that are active. In addition, your immune system can respond to the use of microdosings. That may mean that you feel warm, sick or poor.

Different combinations will not stand in the way. Always consult a doctor if you think of microdosing, while using antibiotics or other medicines. Moreover, it is a good idea to drink enough water if you want microdos.
 

How much should I take for my first microdosing?

If you take a microdosing for the first time it is wise to begin carefully. Among other things, your weight, length, age and condition have an impact on how your body will respond to this. The Psilocybin (the truffles that we use for the microdosing) has a stronger effect if you take it on an empty stomach, just like caffeine and alcohol. So please first eat something or take a smaller microdosing if you want to start with that.

You will receive six GO Microdose strips. They account for 1 gram per piece. For some people, 1 gram is too strong to start with. That is why we recommend that you start 0.25 to 0.5 grams for the first time. That is a quarter or half of 1 dose on a strip of 6 pieces. In this way you can experience how your body responds to it. If you notice it is not strong enough for you, you can take more, even more than one gram at a time.

Tip: have you taken a little too much for your liking? No worries, nothing will happen. The (very) low dosages are not dangerous, even if you take a little more than you like. You will only notice that your focus and productivity will decrease (instead of increase).

Tip: do you doubt whether you have taken too much? As long as the microdosing helps you to be more productive and have more focus it is not too much. Start with a low dose and try to raise it a bit. You then notice for yourself when you find your sweet spot.

How should I take the microdosing?

You can easily take the microdosing that you receive from us. First you remove the microdosing dose from the package and weigh the dose you want to take. You can swallow it whole. In this way, the ingredients are gradually released throughout the day. It is  also possible to chew on it,  in this way the most substances are released but the effects will last a little less longer. Thats why we advice on not chewing it to have the best microdosing experience.

Tip: are you more sensitive to dry flavors or does it just don’t feel good to chew it? You can also choose to drink the microdosing. Make tea or mix it through your fruit or vegetable smoothie.

Tip: do not take the microdosing on an empty stomach. Instead, make sure you have eaten something, just like you do with caffeine and alcohol.

Can you microdose and drive a car?

Yes, in theory you can drive while you have taken a microdosing. It is not prohibited because the dosage falls within what is legally permitted.
Still, it is important to act responsibly yourself. Do rather not drive if you take a microdosing for the first time. Also don’t drive if you took a little too much for your feeling or if you don’t feel comfortable with your intaking.

Conversely, a microdosing will improve your focus and sight, so it can’t harm to driving. In practice you may even be sharper and so respond better to the situation around you.

Our advice is to always experiment in a safe environment to find out which microdosization suits you best. If it feels too strong, you have taken too much. It is then not wise to go driving or to participate in traffic in a different way.

What is the effect of microdosing on my brain or body?

The microdosings with psilocybin affect your state of mind, focus, creativity and, for example, your problem solving capacity. This is due to strengthening the cognitive functions, thanks to influence on the 5-HT2A receptors in the brain. These are serotonine receptors. This increases the glutamate cell activity in the frontal cortex, allowing your brain to appeal to your memory faster. As a result, you can come up with solutions faster for situations or challenges you experience.

In addition, psilocybin has the ability to reset the control systems of the cognition in the brain. Various studies have shown that psilocybin has effect on the default mode network (DMN). This system is active when the brain is at rest. In the event of increased activity you can experience introspection, daydreaming and spontaneous thought dreams. Moreover, the system plays a role in depression. The DMN is also associated with individual differences in intelligence and efficiency.

The psilocybene can reset your DMN and make you more creative and give you more spiritual insights. Microdosing dampens the DMN. As a result, you unlock more creativity.
