Microdosing Protocols: Which is Best for You?

Finding Your Rhythm

Microdosing is a practice built on consistency, awareness, & subtle adjustment.

Different protocols offer different rhythms. The structure you choose shapes how the experience integrates into daily life.

The focus remains steady support, clear awareness & sustainable change!

The Fadiman Protocol

A structured & widely recognized approach.

Flow:

Dose day, transition day, rest day

This rhythm creates space between doses, allowing time to observe shifts in mood, clarity & perception.

It supports a measured pace, where awareness develops alongside integration.

The Stamets Stack

A more layered approach that combines mushrooms with complementary elements.

Flow:

4 days on, 3 days off

Often paired with functional mushrooms & niacin, this protocol is associated with cognitive support & long-term neural adaptation.

Consistency plays a central role, creating a steady pattern of input & rest.

note: our capsules contain Lions Mane & niacin to support this stack.

Intuitive Microdosing

A flexible approach guided by internal awareness.

Dosing is adjusted based on how the body & mind respond, allowing space to refine timing, frequency & amount.

This method supports a personalized rhythm, where observation becomes the foundation for decision-making.

Choosing What Aligns

Each protocol offers a different structure.

Some benefit from defined cycles.

Others move with more flexibility.

The most effective approach is the one that feels sustainable, consistent, & aligned with your daily life.

Integration Matters

Microdosing exists within a broader system of habits, environment, & attention.

Daily inputs shape how the experience unfolds. Sleep, movement, nutrition, & mindset all contribute to long-term results.

Small, consistent actions reinforce the process.
