Before making capsules for microdosing many questions arise. Let's look at the most common!

The weight can be adjusted based on your individual microdose. It's easy to guess if you need 0.4 grams, then prepare 2 capsules 0.2g each.

What capsules to choose for mushroom microdosing?

Stomach-soluble or intestine-soluble? Gelatin or Vegetarian?

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.
