Hack your brain with magic truffle microdosing
The easiest way to find out whether microdosing magic truffles works for you is to try it for yourself.
The neurochemistry of microdosing
Psilocin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms and magic truffles – i.e. sclerotia, which are viable giant spores) is structurally related to the neurotransmitter serotonin.Psilocin binds to the serotonin receptors in the brain (known as the ‘happiness hormone’). Psilocin works by altering the effects of serotonin.
Serotonin, which regulates many fundamental human functions
Serotonin influences almost every system in the body. When your serotonin levels are balanced, it can have a positive effect on your emotions, your motor skills, your physical health, your sleep and even your sex drive. Serotonin is regarded as a natural mood stabiliser. Did you know that around 90 per cent of serotonin is found in the gut and only about 10 per cent is produced in the brain? No wonder serotonin also plays a major role in your digestion and gut health. Let’s take a look at the various ways in which serotonin is utilised throughout the body.
- Mood: Serotonin is used by the brain to regulate mood. Low serotonin levels can be linked to depression and other mood disorders.
- Sleep: Serotonin stimulates the areas of the brain that control the sleep-wake cycle. This is because serotonin is a precursor (chemical building block) of melatonin. A balanced serotonin level contributes to a more restful sleep.
- Digestion: Serotonin is a hormone that benefits the gut. The body uses serotonin to regulate digestion. Your gut can even increase serotonin release to speed up digestion and rid your body of irritating foods or toxins.
- Healing: This small molecule also helps the body to heal more quickly. It promotes wound healing by slowing blood flow and facilitating blood clotting in wounds, which is extremely important for the healing process. However, serotonin may also play a role in bone density.
- Learning: Serotonin also improves learning ability, not just mood. In a recent study , researchers found that serotonin increases the speed at which we can process new information
- Libido: Serotonin (together with dopamine) influences your sexual desire. A low serotonin level can (perhaps surprisingly) lead to an increased libido, whilst a high serotonin level can reduce sexual desire.
All these factors together determine our energy levels and how we feel in our bodies.
Or, to put it simply:
- Low serotonin levels are associated with depression, anxiety, mania and other health problems.
- High serotonin levels, on the other hand, play a key role in feelings of happiness, balance and calm. Higher serotonin levels have been observed in happy and successful people.
As psilocin is similar to serotonin in the brain, it binds to the same receptors and increases the production of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). The brain activates its learning and social abilities and forms new neural connections more quickly. This is known as neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to adapt increases.
Why microdose with psilocybin?
Microdosing psychedelics (in our case, magic mushrooms or truffles) is the practice of taking very low, sub-hallucinogenic doses (which do not induce a ‘trip’).
Although further research is still needed, the study shows promising results. Adults who microdose psychedelics report health-related motivations and lower levels of anxiety and depression compared to non-microdosers. These positive effects of microdosing were observed in all participants, regardless of whether they used psilocybin alone or a combination of psilocybin and lion’s mane, or psilocybin, lion’s mane and niacin.
The effect reduces addiction
When you start regular microdosing, your brain quickly adapts to the new intake. It uses some of the extra nutrients to build new neural connections.
That’s why you can stop microdosing at any time without falling into depression! Your brain has already improved its structure and remembers how it can be happy and full of energy even without psilocybin microdosing.
Microdosing magic truffles is safe and legal in many countries (for example, in the countries of the European Union).
- These psychedelics are not addictive, so there is no risk of becoming dependent on them.
- Magic truffles are easy to microdose. Our microdosing magic truffles are packaged in extra-small portions so that they stay fresh for a long time.
- Microdosing does not get you ‘high’. You may notice very, very mild effects (especially when you first start using them), but it usually leads to you feeling more productive, more creative and less anxious in everyday situations.
- The consumption of magic truffles is legal or unregulated in most countries around the world because magic truffles are NOT MUSHROOMS, but rather viable giant SPORES, and spores have hardly ever been explicitly banned anywhere
