The Every Other Day Protocol:
This protocol designed by the Microdosing Institute is commonly used for supportive mental and cognitive balance. People exploring microdosing for focus, mood or nervous system regulation often follow an "every other day" schedule to maintain steady benefits and awareness.
DAY 1 : Microdosing day
DAY 2 : OFF
DAY 3 : Microdosing day
DAY 4 : OFF
CYCLE:
Continue for 1 to 2 months
RESET:
Two weeks rest
We recommend starting with 150 mg (1 capsule) per dose during your first cycle.
If it feels right, you may increase to 300 mg in a following cycle.
Microdosing can be done over 1, 2, or 3 months.
Between each cycle, take a 2-week break to support balance and reset.
This is a personal process move slowly, listen to your body, and adjust as needed.
