There are several traditional Chinese medicines, Ayurvedic medicines, and vitamins we recommend to support your protocol. These include Lion's Mane, which supports neurogenesis, Ashwagandha which helps with anxiety & stress, and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) which boosts blood flow. ​ These are safe and effective boosters that can be taken daily, whether you are on your microdosing protocol or not, as well as when you journey.

Your microdose is adaptogenic. Its effectiveness relies on a schedule of low dose increments over a prolonged period of time. If you choose to journey (or “macro-dose”) during your scheduled protocol window, you run the risk of increasing your natural tolerance levels, which may minimize the benefits of your protocol. As such, we recommend refraining from high-dose work until after your current protocol is complete & revisiting higher dose work once you have taken time to rest & integrate (at least two weeks after your protocol has ended).

In the morning, preferably on an empty stomach with lemon water. If you experience upset stomach, take your microdose with a food from the BRAT Food List (bananas, rice, applesauce or toast).

While both Huachuma (San Pedro) and mushrooms are powerful teachers, they offer distinctly different energetic and emotional signatures when microdosed: Huachuma (San Pedro) is often described as heart-centered, stabilizing, and expansive. It tends to promote a calm, grounded presence with enhanced connection to nature, others, and oneself. Many users report a subtle but sustained sense of inner peace, emotional resilience, and gentle clarity throughout the day. It’s especially helpful for those seeking support with anxiety, emotional regulation, or heart-based healing. Psilocybin, on the other hand, is typically more heady, neuroplastic, and introspective. Its effects can include enhanced creativity, increased emotional sensitivity, and deeper self-reflection. While wonderful for catalyzing insight, some people find psilocybin can stir up suppressed emotions or intensify internal processing—especially for those with anxiety or depression. In short: → Huachuma supports the heart and nervous system with a steady, grounded presence. → Psilocybin engages the mind and inner landscape with more dynamic shifts in perception and mood. Many people find that Huachuma provides a more calming and supportive foundation, while psilocybin may be better suited for periodic insight and emotional breakthroughs.
