Deadhead Chemist's Microdose Magic Mushroom Capsules come in a pack of 24 pills, with a recommended microdosing protocol suggested by Paul Stamets. The protocol involves taking a microdose every day for four days, followed by three days off.Each capsule contains 300mg of dried Psilocybe and 50mg of Ginger Root Extract. Psilocybin, the primary active ingredient in magic mushrooms, stimulates the serotonin receptor "5-HT2A" in the prefrontal cortex. This stimulation leads to the production of "Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor" (BDNF), a protein that promotes brain growth and activity, and increased transmission of "Glutamate," a neurotransmitter essential for cognition, learning, and memory.
