What are XtraPositive organic truffles?

Themicrodosing organic truffles we offer, also known as 'philosopher's stones', are not actually psychoactive truffles but sclerotia of the psilocybe mushroom. Sclerotia are thickened sections of the mycelium that grow underground and are part of the fungus, just like the fruiting bodies (mushrooms) that appear above ground.

What is microdosing with organic truffles?

Microdosing involves taking a minimal dose of organic truffles, approximately 1/10 of the amount needed for a psychedelic experience. This dose is called a 'microdose'. According to a specific schedule, you take these truffles for about one to two months, after which you take a break of two weeks to a month to evaluate whether it has benefited you. With a microdose, you will not experience a trip, even to a mild degree. People who microdose do notice subtle effects. It works on a subperceptual level, which means that a microdose should not cause classic psychedelic effects, such as visual disturbances, and that you should be able to function normally during your daily activities and interactions.

The effects people experience most often:

• More energy
• Brighter thinking
• improved problem-solving ability
• More creativity
• Better ability to concentrate
• More positive mood
• Stronger emotional connection with the people around you
• Being more aware of your surroundings and yourself
• Be more in the 'now'; be present in the current moment
