The Science Behind Microdosing
Research suggests that microdosing psilocybin influences the brain's serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2A receptors, which play a crucial role in mood regulation and cognitive function.
Studies have shown increased connectivity between brain regions that don't typically communicate, potentially explaining enhanced creativity and problem-solving abilities.
Psilocybin also appears to promote neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—and may help "reset" neural pathways associated with depression and anxiety.

Recommended Dosage & Protocols
Understanding proper dosing is crucial for a safe and beneficial microdosing experience
Our Stamets Stack Microdosing Capsules
Each capsule contains:
- 120mg of psilocybin mushrooms
- 280mg of lion's mane fruiting body
- 100mg of niacin (Vitamin B3)
How the Stamets Stack Works
The Stamets Stack, developed by renowned mycologist Paul Stamets, combines three powerful components that work synergistically:
- Psilocybin enhances neuroplasticity and promotes new neural connections
- Lion's Mane supports nerve growth factor (NGF) production for brain cell regeneration
- Niacin helps distribute the compounds throughout your body and may enhance their effects
This combination is designed to support cognitive function, emotional balance, and neurogenesis. The recommended protocol is 4 days on, 3 days off, allowing your system to integrate the benefits while preventing tolerance buildup.
Important Note About Macrodosing
Our Deep Journey Macrodosing Capsules contain 500mg of psilocybin and are intended for experienced users only. Macrodosing produces profound psychedelic experiences and should be approached with caution:
- Always have a trusted sober sitter present

Popular Microdosing Protocols
The Fadiman Protocol Beginner
Developed by Dr. James Fadiman, this protocol involves taking a microdose every third day (Day 1: Dose, Day 2: No dose, Day 3: No dose, repeat). This schedule helps prevent tolerance buildup while allowing you to observe subtle effects. Ideal for first-time microdosers as it provides clear days to notice differences.
The Stamets Stack Intermediate
Created by mycologist Paul Stamets, this advanced protocol combines psilocybin with lion's mane mushroom and niacin (Vitamin B3). The dosing schedule is 4 days on, 3 days off. This more intensive approach may enhance neurogenesis but requires more experience with microdosing effects and body awareness.
