Dosing Calendars
There is no right or wrong dosing protocol and we understand that sticking to a schedule can be difficult. That's why we usually recommend choosing a strategy that works for you and your lifestyle. Thankfully microdosing is forgiving and taking days off is incredibly beneficial for maximizing their full potential. Remember that even though you may not be "feeling" the effects on either on or off days, we can assure you the mushys are working hard behind the scenes!
Below are two calendars developed by top Mycology Gurus, as well as a beginner strategy that we have developed to help guide you on your journey. After experimenting many people prefer to customize their own unique schedule and since you know your body best feel free to experiment with what works best for you!
It it always however recommended to take days off to give your body a chance to rest, recover, and heal in order to get the most out of your microdosing journey.
