How To Micro-Dose Amanita Muscaria Tinctures

Amanita Muscaria is a federally legal, psychoactive mushroom that is about to explode on the U.S. market as popularity keeps expanding.  Its rise in demand has led to the development of all kinds of exciting amanita-infused products that allow consumers to easily enjoy the effects for which the mushroom has been renowned for centuries.  Known for its psychedelic effects, people often talk about having a profound experience when taking amanita mushrooms, which can include, depending on the dose, hallucinations, insights, and creative inspiration.

Now that amanita mushrooms are popping up on the market like never before, we want to go over dosage guidelines for one particularly sought-after type of amanita product: amanita tinctures.  Because the effects of the mushrooms can be quite strong, getting the dosage right is of particular importance.

What is Microdosing and Why are Tinctures Good for Micro-Dosing?

First, let’s talk about microdosing.  Micro-dosing refers to the act of taking a very small dose of a psychoactive product each day, as part of a routine, with the milligram strength being below the threshold for intoxication.  This is really common with psilocybin mushrooms, and amanita mushroom enthusiasts are catching on to its benefits.

Microdosing allows us to experience cognitive and mood benefits by taking just enough muscimol daily for it to act on GABA receptors.  Small doses of muscimol can, through interacting with GABA receptors, offer potential relief from things like stress, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and more, while improving creativity, mood, and cognitive functions.  The benefit to micro-dosing is getting these benefits throughout the day without being impaired due to intoxication.

And, amanita tinctures are absolutely perfect for micro-dosing.  That’s because tinctures consist of just amanita extract diluted in a carrier oil and are sold in bottles with dropper caps.  You consider the number of milligrams in the bottle, and then fill just enough of the dropper with oil to take in the ideal microdose, in terms of milligram amounts.

So, what is considered a microdose?  Let’s go over the 4 main pillars of amanita mushroom dosage by the milligram.

Microdose (200-300mg): A microdose of amanita mushrooms likely won’t give you a noticeable high, but you may notice improvements in mood and stress levels for several hours as you go about your day, which can be extremely valuable.

Low Dose (300-400mg): A low dose is going to give you a subtle high – maybe comparable to something like delta 8 – in which you might notice that you feel relaxed and less stressed out than you were before you took the tincture.

Moderate Dose (400-500mg): A moderate dose of amanita tinctures is not recommended for beginners, as it can be quite strong.  This type of dose can give you more “trippy effects” like introspection, feelings of enhanced spirituality, and changes in perception, in terms of how we perceive situations in our lives, and how we identify with our beliefs, values, and relationships. 

High Dose (500mg+): A high dose of amanita mushrooms can give you an actual trip, in which you experience changes in perception when it comes to things like time and the space around us, and visual hallucinations.  

Amanita Muscaria Dosage vs. Amanita Muscaria Strength

Now, we just want to offer a quick refresher on dosage vs. strength, as both factors come into play when figuring out the perfect dose of an amanita tincture.

Dosage: Dosage reflects the amount of product that we take, such as 1 whole dropper of oil.

Strength: Strength reflects the number of milligrams of Amanita Muscaria extract in the tincture, which is going to determine how potent each piece is.  For instance, 1 tincture could contain anywhere from, say, 100mg to 500mg amanita, and that can produce drastically different results.

What Might Influence the Exact Microdose Amount of Amanita You Want to Take Per Serving?

Before we get into suggested dosage guidelines for microdosing with amanita tinctures, we want to mention that ultimately, the amount that’s right for you can depend on several different variables.  Let’s explain.

#1: Your Tolerance to Amanita Muscaria

One thing that we know is that each person’s tolerance and sensitivity is unique.  We also know that those who are totally new to the psychoactive compounds of the mushroom are likely to have a very low general tolerance.  If you’ve never consumed amanita mushrooms before, you probably have a very low tolerance, which means that any dose will feel more potent in your system the first few times. 

#2: The Product Formula 

Some amanita tincture formulas contain 100% pure amanita extract, and others on the market combine amanita extract with different cannabinoid distillates – like delta 8, THC-P, etc. 

You might have different dosage goals if there are also cannabinoids in the product, and the cannabinoid itself can make a difference too.  For example, THC-P is such a strong intoxicant compared to a milder one like delta 8 that you’d want to take a smaller dose because of how high you could get off of THC-P, in addition to amanita.

#3: How Old the Product is 

Keep in mind that an amanita tincture is its most potent for the first 12 months, after which point it starts to degrade and become weaker.  If you have an old bottle lying around, you may need to take more product to make up for this.

Sublingual Dosing vs. Cooking/Baking with a Tincture

While tinctures are most commonly taken sublingually (below the tongue), keep in mind that some people prefer to cook or bake with a tincture formula, to dose their meals.  The amount of milligrams for micro-dosing doesn’t change regardless of the delivery method. 

But, you will need to take into account the number of portions in what you’re cooking or baking.  For instance, if you’re making a recipe that yields 10 brownies, you’ll want to put 2000-3000mg of amanita tincture into the recipe, so that each brownie contains 200-300mg.

A Final Reminder

Now, one thing we need to reiterate is that each tincture formula on the market is going to have its own specific milligram strength per tincture.  This means that instead of going by how many tinctures to take, you should go by the number of milligrams you’re taking.  For instance, if you wanted a moderate dose, that could mean 1 dropper tincture, a half dropper, or just 5 drops, depending on the number of milligrams in the bottle based on that particular product formulation.

Get Your Microdose Game on with Amanita Tinctures!

When it comes to microdosing with amanita tinctures, just 100mg can make a big difference in terms of how high you get off of the popular mushroom.  Because of that, we urge you to follow dosing directions on product labels, and also remember this guide to identify how the amount you ingest can take you from a micro-dose experience to a total trip that lasts for a few hours. 

The amanita tinctures available at Binoid come with dosing directions so you’ll know that you’re taking just the right amount to get the milder effects that you were seeking out.
