What doses to start with when taking Amanita muscaria

We recommend starting your first acquaintance with fly agaric with whole caps or powder. According to the instructions that we put in the package, we start microdosing with 0.4 g of the mushroom and increase it by 0.1 g every 3 days to allow your body to get used to the effects of fly agaric.

We remind you that fly agaric is a psychoactive mushroom, therefore, we approach the selection of the dosage with the utmost responsibility. Most often, the difference between dosages of 0.1 g solves everything. Therefore, when you first buy capsules that contain 0.4 g of dry mushroom, it often happens that 1 capsule is not enough for you, and two are already too much and you can get unwanted side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness and general effects of intoxication.

Once you have passed at least the first month and found your comfortable dosage, then for convenience you can switch to taking capsules.
