ALL ABOUT PSYCHEDELICS & MICRODOSING
No, but they do reduce in potency, about 15% per year. So if you normally eat 1 capsule you may need to eat 2-3 to get the same effect as before as they age. But they dont become toxic and are completely safe to eat even after a long time.
To extend their shelf life we suggest keeping them in a cool, dry place, not the freezer.
Beginners should start with a low dose. If you are sensitive to substances, start with a 50mg capsule. You can double up to try 100mg if needed. Our most popular dose is 100mg, and our most popular blend is Enhance, made with Golden Teacher mushrooms and Lions Mane mushrooms. If you're unsure which blend is right for you, we offer collections of all three blends at both 50mg and 100mg doses. Check out our beginner dosing calendar for guidance.

There are also various suggested protocols including the Stamet Stack, read more about it here. https://www.nootropedia.com/paul-stamets-epigenetic-neurogenesis-stack/
There are differing opinions on how often to microdose. To begin with, we recommend eating one or two caps or as needed and then skipping one or two days before consuming another one. Continue like this for up to one month or as prescribed. Optimal effects are obtained if you do not take them on consecutive days to allow integration of awareness and ideas gained on microdose days. However, if you are addressing moderate to serious symptoms of depression, it can be helpful to do a concentrated period of one every day for a week and then take a break, or a 3-day on, 1-day off schedule for a period of time. It's really up to you and what works for your lifestyle and your mental health goals.
