Microdosing – THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO PSILOCYBIN
Paul Stamet’s –
Psilocybin / Niacin/Lion’s Mane Protocol:
Good News, It Works!
Jpeg of Stamet’s protocol:
Stamet’s comments. Stamets believes that the optimal microdoesing regimen is 5 days on 2 days off (to avoid psilocybin tolerance), and the optimal lion’s mane dose is daily (based on Host Defense product recommendations). Optimal niacin dosage, should be high but not daily due to the possibility of tolerance destroying the flush effect and the risk of side effects. 3–5 days per week seems reasonable. Finally, lion’s mane and the microdose can be taken in at the convenience of the “NPLS”er and the niacin should be taken ten minutes later, so that the flush coincides with the effects of the other two substances. In my opinion the above and its variations, can safely be called the Stamets NPLS protocol.
