What is Microdosing?
Microdosing is the practice of consuming a small dose of psychedelic compounds and harnessing their effects for the sake of enhancing productivity, creativity, or other forms of personal growth.
Because you only take a fraction of a ânormal doseâ, you will not experience any âtrippyâ effects or hallucinations.
However, the effects on your creative output, intellectual capacity and general well-being can be substantial.
Many people that have incorporated microdosing into their professional routine report an overall better mood, increased awareness, higher levels of focus, deeper flow states, and an increase in creativity and productivity.
Why Microdosing?
At Microdose Pro, we strongly believe that psychedelics can play a major role in improving human performance across various domains and that this practice will grow significantly in years to come.
In the past years, many entrepreneurs, self-improvement experts, and social influencers have reported the positive effects of microdosing, which has led to an exponential increase in global interest.
We aim to provide a trusted platform and product for the start-up, creative, and self-growth communities in the Netherlands, in order to make microdosing more accessible in a safe and responsible manner.
How does it work?
We will deliver one strip containing six doses of psilocybin truffles (sclerotia) on your doorstep. Each microdose contains one gram of truffles.

Frequently Asked Questions
The method is simple and easy to follow: One day on, two days off.
Take a microdose on Day 1, and take a break on Day 2 and Day 3. Then, on Day 4, repeat the process and take a microdose again.
So, in short:
Day 1: Take a microdose.
Day 2: Do not take a microdose.
Day 3: Do not take a microdose.
Day 4: Take a microdose.
Do this for a few weeks and notice how you react. How does it affect your creativity, your productivity, and your mood?
It is common to experience some slight after-effects on the day after taking a microdose (Day 2). On Day 3, you will be back in your normal state. Try to feel the differences between each day, and be sure to take notes.
A good way to measure effects is to track your experiences in a journal or a log. This way you can get more accurate and meaningful insights into your progress over a prolonged period of time.
The Stamets protocol goes as follows: Four days on, three days off.
Take a microdose on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4 and take a break on Day 5, Day 6, and Day 7. Then, on Day 8, repeat the process and take a microdose again.
So, in short:
Day 1: Take a microdose.
Day 2: Take a microdose.
Day 3: Take a microdose.
Day 4: Take a microdose.
Day 5: Do not take a microdose.
Day 6: Do not take a microdose.
Day 7: Do not take a microdose.
Day 8: Take a microdose.
Practice this for 6-10 weeks, then take a month off.
As with the Beginner Protocol, itâs important to track your experiences in a journal or log.
A common question we often get is whether microdosing is safe or not.
First of all, it is important to discuss the legal framework around microdosing. In many countries, the use of psychedelics is illegal and therefore we do not recommend using psychedelic substances in countries or areas where the law does not allow this.
At Microdose Pro, we exclusively aim our product, sclerotia truffles, at users located in The Netherlands.
Secondly, we need to discuss the physical safety of microdosing.
It is crucial to understand the difference between a microdose and a higher dose of psychedelics. In many cases, people consume psychedelic substances for recreational purposes, to have a so-called âtripâ.
When you have a psychedelic trip, this can be an extremely intense experience for many people. Commonly, these experiences are referred to as mystical experiences, and it is not rare to see people report that their view of reality has profoundly been altered.
However, with microdosing this is not the case. You will not experience any extreme âtrippingâ effects, simply because the dose is not high enough.
You can feel different when you are on a microdose, but you should not have to be worried about experiencing heavy psychedelic visuals or distortions of reality.
In this way, microdosing is safe.
It is important to note here that there have not yet been performed any clinical studies on people when it comes to microdosing.
There have been studies of higher doses of psychedelic substances as psilocybin truffles. These studies show that the use of psilocybin is safe.
Since there have not yet been any clinical studies on microdosing, the long term effects on the body remain unclear. Because of this, it is always recommended to take a break after a couple of months of microdosing.
This âmonth offâ can also be used to reflect on the past months and to see if you experience any differences in your mood and state of being.
In many countries, the use of psychedelics is illegal and therefore we do not recommend using psychedelic substances in countries or areas where the law does not allow this.
At Microdose Pro, we exclusively aim our product, sclerotia truffles, at users located in The Netherlands.
Sclerotia do contain some of the same ingredients as mushrooms (paddoâs), however where mushrooms are illegal in The Netherlands, sclerotia are not.
The law that made mushrooms illegal in The Netherlands in 2008, was only applicable to mushrooms itself, not on sclerotia.
Being in possession of sclerotia or mushrooms is perfectly legal in The Netherlands. What is illegal, is to extract or synthesize the psychoactive chemicals that can be found in mushrooms and sclerotia.
Microdosing is not suited for everyone. Never microdose:
- If you are younger than 18 years old.
- In combination with alcohol or other drugs.
- When you are on medication.
- If you are pregnant.
- If you are breastfeeding.
- If you are susceptible to depression.
- If you suffer from any mental illness or condition.
People around the globe use microdosing for various reasons. Some people use it as a productivity hack, others to treat latent anxieties or to get more in tune with their emotions.
Our main focus with Microdose Pro is using microdosing as a tool to boost creativity and getting more work done. We ourselves have been microdosing for years and the quality of our work has dramatically increased.
Just a few reasons why we have incorporated microdosing into our lives are:
- Better focus
- Higher levels of energy
- Getting easier into a flow state
- Being more productive
