WHAT IS MICRODOSING?
With microdosing, you take a very small dose of the organic truffles on a regular basis. Many people add it to their routine to fully experience the many positive effects. Research and experience show that microdosing can positively affect your daily functioning and overall well-being.
IS THERE A MINIMUM AGE FOR USING TRUFFLES?
There is no legal limit, as with alcohol. But XtraPositive recommends that you be at least 18 years old before microdosing.
WHAT ARE XTRAPOSITIVE ORGANIC TRUFFLES?
The official name for truffles is sclerotium. Where mushrooms grow in abundance, there is an extensive underground network of mycelium. Some types of mushrooms produce truffles in this mycelium. These truffles are compact masses of hardened mycelium, in which food and water are stored for when growing conditions are not optimal. The active ingredient produced in the truffles is psilocybin, which is responsible for the positive effects of the product.
CAN I TAKE MY ORGANIC TRUFFLES ABROAD?
To answer this question, we must distinguish between the different types of foreign countries. If you travel within the EU, then you can take the organic truffles on a trip without any problems. Organic truffles are considered food supplements in the EU. You can therefore take them with you wherever you go. Keep in mind the temperature! If you go to southern Spain, Malta, Greece or Cyprus, the truffles may spoil because of the heat. So make sure you can keep them cool.
There are also a number of countries that the EU has treaties with, such as Switzerland, Monaco, Liechtenstein and Andorra, among others. Again, the free movement of people and goods applies and you can take the truffles with you. In the rest of the world, it varies from country to country. Many countries (including the EU!) do not want you to import fresh products from abroad. They are afraid that this way new plant and animal species can enter the country that can displace local species. The best way to find out if you can bring the truffles is to contact the local (customs) authorities and ask.
Ennuh...have a nice trip!
CAN YOU MICRODOSE IF YOU ARE ON MEDICATION?
Many people wonder if microdosing can be combined with medication. This is one of the most frequently asked questions to researchers and experts in the field of microdosing.
Therefore, Dr. James Fadiman and his colleague Sophia Korb have compiled a list of medications, supplements and drugs that are so far known not to cause adverse side effects when combined with microdosing. This list is based on data collected from their long-term study of hundreds of subjects who independently microdosed with (primarily) LSD, 1P-LSD or psilocybin.
We want to emphasize that this list does not guarantee that you can microdose safely and responsibly while taking any of the listed medications. Therefore, always consult your physician first if you plan to combine, stop or taper microdosing with medication. It is important to remember that at this time no one has sufficient expertise in microdosing to advise you specifically on how to stop taking medication. If you want to taper off because you suspect microdosing is a better alternative, consult with your doctor and research the pros and cons.
CAN I EXERCISE IF I HAVE MICRODOSE?
Yes, exercising and microdosing is a good combination. You have more energy, and can get into a good flow.
CAN I DRIVE A CAR IF I HAVE MICRODOSE?
Yes, you may. At the right dosage, your focus and vision improve. But beware: if you sit just a little higher than proper dosage, those effects are gone and it can be unsafe to drive. Always check with yourself if you feel good and it is responsible to hit the road.
WHERE DO THE ORGANIC TRUFFLES FROM XTRAPOSITIVE COME FROM?
XtraPositive's organic truffles come from an organic farm in the Netherlands. The product is grown and packaged with care to ensure its excellent quality.
WHO IS MICRODOSING FOR?
Microdosing is done by various people because it offers a wide range of benefits, such as an energy boost, improved mood, added focus, inner peace, increased creativity and a good work flow. These benefits appeal to a wide audience. One distinct trait that users share is their drive to be the best they can be. Our clients are self-confident people who want to change something in their lives.
CAN I DRINK ALCOHOL IF I HAVE MICRODOSE?
To maximize the benefits of microdosing, we recommend avoiding alcohol. There is no harm in having the occasional drink, but keep in mind that the effects of microdosing may then be less noticeable.
HOW DO I START MICRODOSING?
Our manual is designed to guide you step by step through the process. We show you how to start microdosing safely and effectively, and how to personalize your experience as you become more familiar with the practice. In this guide you will find recommended schedules to help you implement microdosing responsibly into your daily routine.
WHO SHOULD BE CAREFUL WITH MICRODOSING?
We do not recommend microdosing for people with mental health problems, pregnant women and people under the age of 18. Do you fall into any of these groups and still want to try microdosing? Then consult with your doctor first.
HOW DO I DOSE MY MICRODOSE?
Every body is different and reacts differently to microdosing. The standard dose works well for about 70% of users. How you react to the dose taken depends on your body shape, age, condition and whether you have a full stomach, among other things. For a first time user we recommend to do this at a time when you have no obligations and that you can get used to the feeling. The truffles are packed per gram. If you are slightly taller or smaller than average, check how you react to the dosage. If the dose is too high, don't worry. You will only notice that you have more or less focus because the effect of the truffle is slightly too strong for a microdose. This effect will disappear within 30 minutes to 2 hours. The effect of the truffle is meant to help you, which is why it is important to stick to the prescribed amount and then carefully assess whether you want to adjust the dosage. It is always possible to increase or decrease the dose again next time. It is important that after 4 to 8 weeks of microdosing, you take a rest period of 2 to 4 weeks.
HOW LONG DO ORGANIC TRUFFLES WORK
The immediate effect of truffles is about 5 to 7 hours. People often also experience a so-called afterglow effect. After a high dose, this afterglow is 2 to 6 weeks. After a microdose, people often experience a mini-afterglow of about 2 days. This is one of the reasons it is best to keep at least 1 day between each microdose.
IS MICRODOSING ADDICTIVE?
Microdosing organic truffles has been proven not to cause physical or psychological addiction. It is wise to reflect and evaluate how you feel from time to time. It is important that after 4 to 8 weeks of microdosing, you take a rest period of 2 to 4 weeks so your body can reset. Habituation to the product may cause you to need more to achieve the desired effect.
HOW MUCH PSILOCYBIN DO ORGANIC TRUFFLES CONTAIN?
Psilocybin is the active ingredient in organic truffles. One gram of truffles contains between 0.85mg and 2.5mg of psilocybin. This varies per truffle.
WHEN SHOULD I STOP MICRODOSING?
To fully enjoy the benefits of microdosing, we recommend following a schedule and incorporating it into your routine. We recommend following a schedule for 4 to 8 weeks and then stopping for 2 to 4 weeks. This helps prevent your body from building up resistance to the active ingredient. If you find that you are no longer getting the desired effects from the truffles, it is also wise to stop temporarily.
HOW SHOULD I STORE THE ORGANIC TRUFFLES?
Keep the packaging in the refrigerator at a temperature of 4 to 5ºC. This will keep the organic truffles fresh and guarantee the quality of the product.
HOW LONG DO THE ORGANIC TRUFFLES KEEP?
The organic truffles are packaged airtight and individually, giving them a shelf life of at least 2 months. It is important to keep them in the refrigerator at a temperature of 4-5ºC. An opened pack can be kept for up to 14 days if kept in the refrigerator.
CAN IT HURT IF THE PACKAGING BULGES?
It sometimes happens that the vacuum packaging bulges. Fresh truffles give off CO2, which causes the bulging. So it is not oxygen, the truffles are still vacuum packed and safe to ingest. This further does not affect the quality and shelf life of the organic truffles.
