Microdosing

Microdosing means deliberately starting with a dose well below the usual standard or manufacturer recommendation. Behind it sits the principle "start low, go slow": you first test your own reaction and tolerability and work up only in small steps, instead of beginning at the full dose. This lowers the mostly dose-dependent side effects.

As long as you stay below or between the official dose steps and do not exceed the total amount intended for the duration of use, you are deliberately staying on the cautious side of the official range. Important: microdosing is not an approved dosing scheme, an added benefit at mini-doses is not scientifically proven, and it does not replace medical advice.
