MICRODOSING
Step into the world of microdosing: understanding your journey with reclaem°.
What is microdosing?
Microdosing is the practice of consuming a small dose of psilocybin truffles: enough to provide mental clarity and to gain profound insights, yet without being hallucinatory.
Why reclaem° microdose?
At the heart of reclaem° lies the profound belief that life works for you, not against you. We embrace the idea that life's events, even the challenging ones, are opportunities to open us up, and by doing so we allow a richer, more fulfilling experience to move through us.
At reclaem°, we’re here to facilitate you on your journey of self-discovery and growth. Our microdosing truffles are a tool to reconnect with yourself: to experience a heightened sense of awareness and discover the insights needed to find your direction.
The benefits you will likely experience from microdosing with reclaem°: enhanced focus, creativity, and energy levels. And these aren't just pleasant side effects; they're part of a more general state of heightened awareness that will help you in transitioning to a more balanced lifestyle, characterized by deeper understanding and presence.
How does reclaem° microdosing work?
Reclaem° microdosing utilizes the subtle yet profound effects of psilocybin, the active ingredient in our truffles, to facilitate a balanced journey of self-discovery and sustained personal growth.
Scientifically, psilocybin is known to interact with the brain's default mode network (DMN), the part of our brain that shapes our habitual thinking and behaviour. By modulating the DMN, psilocybin can encourage a break from ingrained thought patterns and create a space where new connections, perceptions and ideas can rise to the surface.
Spiritually, this process is about opening your consciousness, leading to a higher sense of awareness. From this state, it’s easier to connect with your deeper thoughts and feelings, as well as with the world around you.
At reclaem°, we don’t see our microdosing truffles as a magic solution. They are a tool to facilitate moments of self-discovery and to gain valuable insights that can lead to small everyday changes, that help in integrating these insights into your life. As in the end the solution sits within you. Our microdosing truffles provide a pathway, but the journey? That's truly yours. It's personal, and the insights gained will be unique to you. As are the actions and transformations that follow.
Please note - Although there is increased evidence on the effectiveness of psilocybin on wellbeing, we cannot yet make a scientifically proven claim that reclaem° microdose is effective in these tales of transformations.
How much to use?
The "sweet spot" in microdosing is that dose where you experience the subtle effects without overwhelming your senses or being too present.
New to microdosing? Begin with a half-dose of 0.5 grams. There's no rush to increase; rather, the aim is to incrementally adjust by quarter grams to find your unique dose. The goal isn't to reach a full gram but to incrementally find the dose that offers a positive shift without dominating your senses. Remember not to exceed 1 gram per dose; instead, find the quantity that brings a positive enhancement to your day without overwhelming your senses.
Your "sweet spot" might be different from others, and can also change over time or even day by day. Some days you might feel energized or experience a remarkable calm, while on others, the effects could be more subtle. It's also not uncommon to experience fatigue or a dip in mood when you first start microdosing. This doesn't necessarily mean it's not working—changes are often happening on a subconscious level, as your brain adapts and responds to psilocybin. If you notice tiredness or if your mood feels dampened, give it time. These sensations can be part of the adjustment process as your mind and body acclimate to the truffles. With continued use, many find that these initial side effects give way to the more beneficial effects of microdosing, like increased clarity and emotional balance.
Remember, microdosing with reclaem° is about the journey of self-discovery. Each experience is a step toward understanding yourself better. Trust the process, and let your insights guide you to the dose that resonates best with your rhythm of life.
How to use?
Prepare Your Dose - With clean scissors, carefully cut one microdose strip.
Taking Your Dose:- Consume your dose with breakfast, accompanied by water. For a smoother onset, avoid chewing the truffles.

Microdosing Protocols
Microdosing works most effectively when consumed with some consistency - small pauses between the days included. There are various schedules or protocols possible, but the ones below are the most common:
The Fadiman protocol
Are you new to microdosing? The Fadiman protocol, named after James Fadiman, who’s seen as one of the founders of microdosing truffles)might be a good starting point for you. This protocol uses a three-day cycle: The first day is a microdosing day, followed by two days where you don’t, to be repeated for one or two months. It works as below.
Day 1 - Microdosing day
Day 2 - Transition day - you may still feel some microdose ‘after’-effects while your body neutralises again.
Day 3 - Reflection day - a regular day to reflect on how microdosing compares to a day without any noticeable effects.
Repeat cycle for at least 1 month, to experience if it is right for you. Do make sure to always take a one-month break after 2 months of microdosing use.
The reclaem° protocol
The reclaem° protocol is an excellent one for people who have had microdosed before and want to increase the benefits of microdosing.
As you can see in the diagram below, this protocol is based on a 2-day cycle for the next one or two months. The first day you microdose, the next day, you don’t. Then, the third day, you microdose again the next day, you don’t. Follow this routine for one or two months.
Intuitive Protocol
This protocol is for people who have already tried the Fadiman and perhaps also the reclaem° protocol and are ready for a bit more flexibility and an intuitive approach. With this protocol, you choose when to microdose, simply based on when it feels right for you. The only rule is to have at least one day between each microdose. This is because after a microdose, your body builds up a bit of tolerance, so microdosing isn't as effective the next day.
Microdosing is above all less is more. It is about gaining insights during your microdosing course and integrating those insights into your life. A successful microdosing course is when you no longer need it as support. You are the main character in this story, the substance you use is the means and support.
After one or two months of microdosing, you should actively look back at what you have experienced, learned and what you still have to learn. After 2 to 4 weeks your receptors will be reset and you can start again. Psychedelics build up a tolerance quickly. So when you use it too long, it loses its power.
Ingredients reclaem° microdose
At reclaem°, our microdose truffles are more than just an ingredient; they are a culmination of years of dedicated cultivation and care. These truffles originate from sclerotia – a hardened, compact mass of fungal mycelium. Sclerotia are nature’s way of preserving the fungus, often forming a protective layer to withstand periods of environmental stress. In the right conditions, these sclerotia give rise to the fruiting bodies we recognize as mushrooms.
Our truffles are a rich source of nutrients, including fats and polysaccharides. Central to the reclaem° microdosing experience are the compounds psilocybin and psilocin, known for their potential to foster a deeper connection with the self and the world. These substances, along with other beneficial nutrients, are present in carefully measured, low doses in our truffles. We've perfected their growth to an optimum size, ideal for the practice of microdosing.
In alignment with our commitment to purity and quality, reclaem° truffles are cultivated on a rice substrate, ensuring they are 100% gluten-free. This mindful approach to cultivation reflects our dedication to providing a microdosing experience that is not only transformative but also respectful of health and well-being.
How to store?
If the truffles are still in their original, sealed packaging, you can keep them for up to two months in the fridge at 4-5C°. However, once removed from the packaging it’s important to keep them stored dry and cold (4-5C°) and consume within two weeks.
To preserve the quality, store the product in your refrigerator at 4-5C°. When sealed and refrigerated, our truffles can last at least up to 2 months after delivery.
