Psilocybine magic mushroom capsules for microdosing
How to choose Capsules for Microdosing?
For a conscious microdosing you should calibrate your individual microdose and arrange it according to your schedule.
We recommend to check out the basic principles and recommendations for microdosing mushrooms in Mushroom Microdosing Guide.
And also the alternative option of microdosing in Mushroom chocolate section.
For convenient and fast microdosing course we recommend to prepare capsules with mushroom powder.
Before preparing capsules for microdosing with mushrooms a number of questions arise:
❓What is the capsule size needed?
❓How much powder contains in one capsule?
❓What capsules to choose? Stomach-soluble or intestine-soluble? Gelatin or Vegetarian?
The size of the capsules and approximate content of the powder in their volume are given in the table below.
Pay attention! There are capsules soluble in the stomach and capsules soluble in the intestines. For mushroom microdosing choose stomach-soluble capsules, as absorption of useful alkaloids with the stomach lining is a standard practice.
Vegetarian or Gelatin capsules is up to you. It doesn't influence on microdosing effects at all. Make a choice according to your individual preferences and lifestyle.
On the photo below you can see "0" size hard Vegetarian stomach-soluble capsules we used for preparation mushroom microdoses. This capsule size allows you to adjust the microdose up to 0.3 grams of mushroom powder in one capsule.
The weight can be adjusted based on your individual microdose. It's not hard to guess if you need 0.4 grams, then prepare 2 capsules of 0.2 grams each.

1️⃣ Dry Mushrooms. They should crumble easily, like chips. If mushrooms aren't dried enough, you won't be able to turn them into a powder.
