Is there an ideal time of day to take each product for optimal results?

Yes, each formula works best at different times of the day to complement its intended effects. For Brain Buzz, we recommend taking it in the morning or early afternoon to support focus, energy, and overall wellness throughout your day. Brain Flow is well-suited for creative or introspective tasks, so mid-morning or early afternoon is ideal. For Brain Melt, which is designed for deeper, more introspective experiences, we suggest taking it in a comfortable, relaxed setting—usually later in the day or evening when you can fully engage with the journey and have time to integrate the experience afterward. However, everyone’s rhythms are different, so we encourage you to experiment and find the timing that works best for your unique needs and lifestyle.

How do Haj Botanics products differ from other mushroom-based supplements on the market?

Haj Botanics products stand out for their unique blend of carefully chosen mushrooms and natural honey, combined with a deep commitment to education and personalized wellness. Unlike many mushroom-based supplements, our formulas—Brain Buzz, Brain Flow, and Brain Melt—are designed with specific mental health and wellness goals in mind, from daily adaptogenic support to deeper, transformative experiences. Our Brain Flow and Brain Melt formulas contain psilocybin, offering benefits beyond traditional supplements and adhering to rigorous quality and potency standards. Additionally, we integrate modern research with ancient knowledge to ensure our products are both effective and accessible, providing a holistic approach that goes beyond simple supplementation.

Is it safe to use these products if I am on prescription medication?

If you’re taking prescription medications, especially for mental health, it’s important to exercise caution. Our adaptogenic Brain Buzz formula, which contains no psilocybin, is generally safe to combine with most medications. However, Brain Flow and Brain Melt, which contain psilocybin, may interact with certain medications, particularly SSRIs, MAOIs, and other antidepressants. These interactions can alter the effectiveness of both the medication and the psilocybin, potentially leading to unintended effects. We strongly recommend consulting a healthcare professional or a knowledgeable psychedelic-informed practitioner before incorporating these products into your routine if you are currently on any prescription medication.

Can I take these products with food or should they be taken on an empty stomach?

You can take our products with or without food. For Brain Buzz, having it with food can support absorption and enhance its effects, especially as part of a morning routine. Brain Flow and Brain Melt may be taken on an empty stomach for faster onset, but a light snack can be helpful if you’re sensitive to psilocybin or want a gentler experience. For Brain Melt specifically, we recommend avoiding a heavy meal right before consumption. To maximize its effects, consider waiting at least 90 minutes after a big meal before taking Brain Melt.

Are your products safe for long-term use?

Yes, our products are crafted with ingredients known for their safety in long-term use. Brain Buzz’s adaptogenic mushrooms, for instance, are commonly used daily to support ongoing wellness. With Brain Flow and Brain Melt, many people integrate psilocybin safely over extended periods, typically through structured microdosing or macrodosing protocols. However, we recommend periodic breaks from psilocybin to prevent tolerance buildup and ensure lasting effectiveness. Always listen to your body, and consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns about long-term use.

Are there any side effects I should be aware of with Brain Buzz, Brain Flow, or Brain Melt?

Generally, our products are well-tolerated, but as with any supplement, individual reactions can vary. Some users might experience mild digestive upset, especially if taken on an empty stomach. Brain Flow and Brain Melt, which contain psilocybin, may cause slight dizziness, mild nausea, or emotional sensitivity in some individuals, especially if taken in higher doses. If you’re new to these products, we recommend starting with a smaller dose to gauge your response. As always, consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns or specific health conditions.

Are there any dietary or lifestyle recommendations to enhance the benefits of your products?

Yes! Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and incorporating regular physical activity can greatly enhance the benefits of our products. We recommend a nutrient-rich diet with a focus on whole foods, as certain vitamins and minerals support cognitive and immune functions that complement our formulas. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation or yoga, can also amplify the effects, especially with Brain Flow and Brain Melt, by helping you connect more deeply with your experiences. Additionally, prioritizing adequate sleep and stress management will create a solid foundation for the wellness benefits our products provide.

What is the recommended dosage for each product, and how should I measure it?

For Brain Buzz, we recommend a single teaspoon of honey or one capsule per day to support daily focus and energy. For Brain Flow, start with one capsule or a half-teaspoon of honey if you’re new to microdosing; increase gradually based on your comfort and response, with a typical regimen of 2-3 times per week. For Brain Melt, which offers a deeper experience, we suggest starting with 3 golden spoons of honey or one capsule to initiate a more profound journey. Each honey jar includes a golden spoon for easy and precise measuring!

Can I mix and match different formulas, or is it better to stick to one at a time?

Yes, you can mix and match our formulas based on your needs and desired effects! Many customers enjoy using Brain Buzz for daily energy and focus, while incorporating Brain Flow for creative projects or Brain Melt for deeper, introspective experiences. However, it’s often best to start with one formula at a time to understand its effects on your body before combining. Mixing formulas can create a complementary experience, but it’s always recommended to start gradually to find the balance that works best for you.

How long does it take to feel the effects after taking your products?

The onset time varies based on the formula and individual factors like metabolism. Generally, with our honey products, effects are typically felt within 15-30 minutes as they are absorbed quickly. Capsules may take a bit longer, usually around 30-45 minutes, as they need time to dissolve and be processed by the body. For Brain Flow and Brain Melt, you may notice a slight rush within the first 5 minutes of consumption before settling into the distinct experiences each formula provides. For deeper experiences with Brain Melt, you may notice more profound effects after the initial onset.

Are your products safe to take daily, or should I space out usage?

Our Brain Buzz formula, made with adaptogenic mushrooms, is designed for daily use to support overall wellness. However, for our psilocybin-based formulas—Brain Flow and Brain Melt—we recommend spacing out usage. Microdosing protocols for Brain Flow often suggest using it every 2-3 days, while Brain Melt is best reserved for more intentional, spaced-out experiences. For more details on specific regimens and guidelines, please visit our Microdosing 101 page. Always listen to your body, and if in doubt, consult a healthcare professional to find a routine that works best for you.

Can I take your products with other supplements or vitamins?

Yes, our products can generally be taken alongside other supplements or vitamins. Adaptogenic and psilocybin mushrooms tend to work harmoniously with other wellness routines. However, we always recommend consulting with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are on specific medication, to ensure the combination is right for you.

What are the differences between Brain Buzz, Brain Flow, and Brain Melt formulas?

Each formula is designed to support different wellness goals:

• Brain Buzz: This blend of non-psychedelic adaptogenic mushrooms like Lion's Mane, Turkey Tail, Tremella, and Cordyceps supports daily wellness. It’s ideal for boosting energy, focus, immune health, and overall vitality.
• Brain Flow: Featuring a microdose of psilocybin, Brain Flow is crafted to enhance creativity, focus, and mood in a subtle, manageable way. It’s perfect for users interested in the benefits of microdosing to support mental wellness.
• Brain Melt: Brain Melt is our higher-dose psilocybin formula, intended for deeper, more introspective experiences. This formula is suited for those looking to explore the therapeutic and transformative potential of psychedelics.

Each formula comes in both honey and capsule formats, so you can choose the type that best suits your lifestyle and preferences.

How do I decide between honey and capsule versions of your products?

Choosing between honey and capsules depends on your lifestyle and taste preferences:

• Honey: Our honey blends offer a touch of sweetness and can be enjoyed directly from the jar or added to drinks like tea or smoothies. Honey itself has natural health benefits, such as soothing sore throats, boosting immunity, and providing antioxidants, making it a nourishing choice for those who enjoy its added perks.
• Capsules: Capsules provide a convenient, easy-to-carry option with precise dosing in every serving. They’re ideal for those looking for a quick, no-prep way to incorporate adaptogens and psilocybin into their routine, especially when on the go.

Ultimately, both forms deliver the same core wellness benefits. You can select the option that best aligns with your taste and daily habits!

How long do the effects of each formula typically last?

The duration of effects varies depending on the formula and individual factors like body chemistry and tolerance:

• Brain Buzz: As an adaptogenic blend without psilocybin, Brain Buzz provides subtle, steady benefits over the course of the day. Users often report increased focus, energy, and overall wellness for about 4-6 hours.
• Brain Flow: With a microdose of psilocybin, Brain Flow’s effects are gentle but noticeable, typically lasting between 4-6 hours. Many users experience enhanced creativity, mental clarity, and emotional balance throughout this period.
• Brain Melt: Brain Melt, with a higher dose of psilocybin, is meant for deeper, more introspective experiences. The effects generally last around 6-8 hours, with potential for introspective insights and emotional processing that may continue even after the main effects subside.

Remember, individual experiences can vary. We recommend starting with a smaller dose to understand how each formula interacts with your body.

How should I store the honey and capsule products to ensure maximum shelf life?

Honey Products: Our honey doesn’t have an expiration date and can remain effective and strong for a year or more. To keep it at its best, store it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Refrigeration isn’t necessary and may cause crystallization.

Capsule Products: For optimal potency, we recommend using the capsules within 90 days of purchase. Store them in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and sunlight. Be sure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to maintain freshness.
