Microdosing with XP Truffles - How to get started?
Step 1 How to cut the portion open
The XP packs are vacuum sealed per 3 servings. The vacuum line is in the middle of the 3 by 3 portions, so use one 3 portion first, and then the other 3 portions
Cut as close to the portion as possible to avoid exposure to air at the other portions.
You can also lay the strip flat on the table with the truffle balls facing up, and then use a razor-sharp knife to cut off only the top of the plastic. This way, only air will reach the portion you use
Follow the instructions provided with the packaging!
Step 2: Find your Microdosing sweet spot
Start your microdosing journey with half a serving on a day off.
Just eat it, swallow it with water, or mix it through food (yoghurt) and eat it.
You can also put it in your tea, add fresh lemon (juice), steep for 10 to 15 minutes and drink it.
If there is no effect, you can take another dose 48 hours later, say 0.75 grams. You can continue like this up to a maximum of 2 grams.
It is very important that the effect does not dominate your day, and that you are able to do all your normal daily activities.
Step 3: Choose your Microdosing protocol
Fadiman Protocol
James Fadiman's protocol is the best basis for a first microdosing experiment. This assumes a 3-day cycle, which you follow for 4 to 8 weeks. Try it for at least a month to experience whether it's for you, whether it benefits you. If it does, you can continue your microdosing journey.
DAY 1: Microdosing day
DAY 2: Transition day
DAY 3: Normal day
DAY 4: Microdosing day
Cycle duration: 1 to 2 months
Break: 2 to 4 weeks break
Microdosing Institute Protocol
A widely used protocol is the 'Every other day' protocol developed by our partners at Microdosing Institute. Their coaching team has been working successfully with this protocol for over 3 years. Mainly for people with ADHD, ADD, depression, burnout.
Day 1: Microdosing day
Day 2: Transition day
Day 3: Microdosing day
Day 4: Transition day
Duration of cycle: 1 to 2 months
Break 2 to 4 weeks
The 'Fixed' protocol (2 or 3 fixed days a week Protocol)
If the Fadiman protocol does not suit your personal life situation, you can choose to microdose 2 or 3 fixed days a week.
Intuitive protocol
Microdosing in a more intuitive way. Feel for yourself when you feel the need to microdose. To avoid tolerance, do allow at least 1 day between microdoses.
Step 4: Observe changes in your thinking, actions, emotions and relationships
It is recommended to keep a diary and take short notes daily. For a more accurate tracking method and personalised advice, please refer to Microdosing Institute.
How to take our Microdosing XP truffles: Chew or swallow?
When the direct effect comes in too hard in the first hour or when you find the truffles taste bad, you can choose to swallow the truffles whole. This creates a kind of time-release effect (the active substances are absorbed more slowly), which some people find more pleasant. For higher doses (no microdosing), we do not recommend this. Then it is better to chew the truffles well or make a tea of them.

Shipping & shelf life
The truffles can last max 10 days outside the fridge. Should the delivery by PostNL be slightly delayed, this is not a problem. Of course, do keep them in the fridge after receipt for optimal freshness.
The fresh Psilocybe Mexicana truffle can be freely produced, traded and exported in the Netherlands. It is a legal product in the Netherlands, as long as it has not undergone any 'active processing'. This legal status of the psychoactive truffle in the Netherlands has allowed Fresh Mushrooms to build up years of experience in growing high-quality psychoactive truffles, also suitable for the therapeutic application of microdosing.
