In a large international survey of 1,435 participants, people reported feeling better on microdosing days compared to non-microdosing days. Psilocybin microdosing was linked to higher ratings of wellbeing, focus, creativity, connectedness, and productivity. Adding lion’s mane and niacin didn’t produce extra benefits, pointing to psilocybin as the main driver of these mood and cognitive boosts.
