Microdosing Paul Stamets Protocol
If you're going to microdose magic truffles or mushrooms for a daily dose of creativity without hallucinating, we've put together this special bundle for you. You'll get convenient pre-packaged microdosing truffles, lion's mane, and the right form of vitamin B3 (niacin). Why this combination? Mycologist Paul Stamets, known from The Joe Rogan Experience, discovered through research that there is a synergy when you combine psilocybin with lion's mane and vitamin B3*. This combination has become known as the Paul Stamets stack, because you "stack" these three supplements.
*This claim has been made by Paul Stamets himself and not approved by the EFSA. For this reason, we can't tell you more about any effects than what microdosing itself means.

Lion's Mane Mushroom in Brief
The hedgehog mushroom, as we call lion's mane in the Netherlands, is a large and bizarre-looking mushroom you might find in the forest. The mushroom grows on trees and has long, hair-like threads, making it look like a lion's mane. In Japan, the giant is also known as the priest of the mountains because the creamy mushroom is said to offer divine wisdom. Lion's mane is loved in traditional Eastern medicine for its positive effects on the mind. Lion's mane contains non-linear polysaccharides and active ingredients that are said to improve concentration and memory*.
This lion's mane extract is special because it is not just a powder in a capsule. Grown on a natural substrate with organically mixed sawdust (78%), organic wheat bran (20%), organic sugar cane (1%), and natural lime (1%).
- Stimulates NGF (Nerve Growth Factor)*
- Supports cognitive functions*
- For the normal functioning of nerves and the immune system*

Forms of Vitamin B3
Vitamin B3 comes in two main forms: niacinamide (nicotinamide) and nicotinic acid. Niacinamide is most common in supplements because it does not cause redness. Nicotinic acid, on the other hand, can cause a "flush" effect. This is a temporary redness of the skin with a warm feeling caused by vasodilation.
The Flush Variant: Nicotinic Acid
This jar contains 100 tablets, each with 100 mg of nicotinic acid. Although the flush effect is considered uncomfortable by some, this reaction also has benefits. Among other things, the proven placebo effect. You feel that nicotinic acid has an effect, making you aware that you have taken it. The combination of nicotinic acid with microdosing and the Lion's Mane mushroom is an innovative approach. The synergistic effect of nicotinic acid with these two supplements is promising.
Why Microdosing Truffles?
Microdosing couldn't be easier! A dose of 1 gram of fresh Magic Truffles is an ideal starter amount for microdosing. It's not enough to trip, but it will safely and effectively boost your focus or creativity. These pre-measured and pre-packaged Magic Truffles make microdosing super simple. You don't have to weigh, dry, or grind anything into powder.
Note that microdosing truffles are natural products. Therefore, there may be a minimal difference in psilocybin per dose. After all, it is an unprocessed natural product. Thus, one dose may have a different effect than another.
Microdosing is Not Tripping
Because you take very low doses of microdosing truffles, it is impossible to trip from them. You simply need more for that. It is not advisable to take all six doses at once. If you want to experience what it's like to trip, a larger pack of Magic Truffles is more advantageous. Below, we explain the effects of Magic Truffles so you understand what fascinating and potent substances you are dealing with.
The Effects of Magic Truffles
The active substances in Magic Truffles are psilocybin and psilocin. These substances from the tryptamine family are structurally very similar to DMT - a powerful, natural hallucinogen that is directly broken down by our bodies. Psilocybin is broken down more slowly than DMT. In the meantime, this substance plays all sorts of bizarre games with our brains. How bizarre your trip experience will be largely depends on the dose. Never take more than one pack and take the entire dose at once. So never take more if you think after an hour that it doesn't work.
Up to 5 grams of Magic Truffles
A low dose of Magic Truffles offers mild visual effects and gives you a relaxed feeling. Colors and sounds become more intense, and philosophical thoughts come to mind.
5-10 grams of Magic Truffles
With an average dose of truffles, objects seem to move on their own. With closed eyes, patterns automatically appear on your eyelids. Normally, your thoughts go through a kind of filter that determines what is normal and what is not. Since 5-10 grams of magic truffles disable this filter, you become more creative, and the world seems different from usual.
10-15 grams of Magic Truffles
Expect kaleidoscopic effects, even with open eyes. Faces and objects have constant wavy movements. Mild hallucinations occur, and you lose the sense of time. With your eyes closed, hallucinations become intense and immersive. Let yourself be carried away and feel like figures are talking to you. Sometimes, it seems you can hear colors and taste sounds. This is called synesthesia; senses merge. Speaking of merging, you will feel like you are one with the couch or bed you are sitting on.
15+ grams of Magic Truffles
Note that only experienced psychonauts can consider eating a whole pack of magic truffles. Everything around you begins to completely change with 15 grams of magic truffles. Emotions merge, so you can be angry and ecstatic at the same time. Time loses its meaning, and reality no longer exists. You might leave your body, and senses are no longer distinguishable from each other. At this dose and with strong truffle varieties like Hollandia, Mushrocks, or Dragon's Dynamite, you will feel like you are merging with the universe, and the past and future seem to happen simultaneously.
Microdosing (0.5 - 1 gram of Magic Truffles)
Now that we have described the usual dosages for you, we also want to tell you what to expect if you take very little magic truffles. So little that you won't trip, but side effects still occur. This is called microdosing. If you take a gram of magic truffles, you can expect to feel clearer and colors and sounds become more intense. Still, it is definitely not advisable to operate machinery, and even with a microdose, it is forbidden to participate in traffic.
Do not combine Magic Truffles with medication, mental disorders, or alcohol. Not even microdoses!
