CalmCaps – Calming Microdose Blend
Ashwagandha & Magic Mushrooms
Size: 100mg / 250mg
30 Capsules Per Pack
Free capsule shipping to all of Canada
We’ve been buying Ashwagandha from our local health food store for about 8 years now, usually we put it in tea but sometimes make capsules for on the road. While we like the taste of Ashwagandha, the taste might not be everybody’s cup of tea (same goes for magic mushrooms) so we decided to combine 2 of our all time favorite natural healing products into one capsule!
Each capsule contains 100mg of dried psilocybe cubensis mushrooms and 250mg of Ashwagandha root powder.
We often take these in the morning instead of our regular microdose and sometimes in the evening if it’s been a tough day.
All of our capsules are vegan, gluten free and packed in sterile conditions, and we quality control them ourselves to make sure we’re sending you the best possible product.
Here is some information about Ashwagandha taken from Forbes.
What Is Ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha is part of a class of plants called adaptogens known for their health benefits when ingested as teas, powders, tinctures and supplements, or in their raw forms. Also known as Indian ginseng, winter cherry or by its scientific name Withania somnifera, ashwagandha is a herbal shrub whose roots and berries are used for their medicinal properties.
7 Health Benefits of Ashwagandha
Research on ashwagandha continues to evolve as scientists around the world study its efficacy against a variety of ailments.
Here are a few science-backed benefits of ashwagandha.
1. Relieves Stress and Anxiety
Ashwagandha is perhaps best known for its stress-relieving properties. Several studies highlight this advantage, observing ashwagandha’s ability to decrease participants’ stress and anxiety levels significantly. One particular study indicated that ashwagandha can benefit sleep quality as well—researchers confirmed participants slept much better with doses of the herb compared to placebo doses.
2. Lowers Blood Sugar and Fat
A couple of small clinical studies found ashwagandha to be helpful in reducing blood glucose levels and triglycerides (the most common type of fat in the blood). One study likened ashwagandha’s blood sugar-lowering effects to those of medications prescribed for type 2 diabetes.
3. Increases Muscle and Strength
Researchers continue to study ashwagandha’s efficacy in improving strength and muscle size. One study found participants experienced increased speed and strength. Another study observed an increase in muscle power, alongside a lower body fat percentage and reduced cholesterol levels when ashwagandha was consumed[8]. Some participants also experienced better sleep, but this study did not compare ashwagandha consumption against a placebo.
Ashwagandha treatments produced positive results in another study conducted solely with male participants. Compared to the placebo group, men who received ashwagandha saw significant gains in muscle strength (measured using bench press and leg extension exercises) and muscle size in their arms and chests, as well as a significant reduction in body fat percentage and post-workout muscle damage.
4. Improves Sexual Function in Women
At least one clinical study indicates ashwagandha can benefit women experiencing sexual dysfunction[10]. The administration of ashwagandha resulted in significant improvements in arousal, lubrication, orgasm and satisfaction, as self-reported by the participants. It also significantly improved the number of successful sexual encounters and improved metrics of distress around their sex lives and sexuality.
5. Boosts Fertility and Testosterone Levels in Men
Ashwagandha may also provide reproductive benefits for men. Administering ashwagandha to infertile men has shown to improve sperm quality significantly by rebalancing reproductive hormone levels. After one study, 14% of the male patients’ partners became pregnant. Separately, in a stress-related ashwagandha study, researchers found the herb increased testosterone levels in male but not female participants. Another study testing ashwagandha’s effect on muscle strength in men also measured a significant increase in testosterone.
6. Sharpens Focus and Memory
Ashwagandha may help improve cognition, memory and the ability to perform motor responses after instruction. Small studies have found that, compared to a placebo, ashwagandha significantly improved participants’ reaction times during cognition and psychomotor tests (which measure the ability to respond to instructions and perform an indicated action).
One study even found that ashwagandha significantly improved participants’ attention spans, as well as their immediate and general memory across a variety of tests.
7. Supports Heart Health
At least two studies have shown that ashwagandha can increase VO2 max levels, which is the maximum amount of oxygen you take in while physically exerting yourself. These levels are used in measuring cardiorespiratory endurance—how well the heart and lungs deliver oxygen to muscles during physical activity. Thus, higher VO2 max levels can indicate a healthy heart that performs well under those circumstances.
With that said, this one study’s results may not apply universally since it was conducted with healthy, athletic adults exclusively as opposed to a more diverse group of participants.

Microdose FAQ
Microdosing is the act of taking small amounts of magic mushrooms for health & enhancement, without making you high. Most of the work microdosing does is in the background, but you may feel more energized, quick-witted and overall improve your sense of well-being.
There are many options from once daily to 2-5 days a week. Personally, we microdose every day as a part of our morning routine but some other methods have been proven very effective. Dr. Fadiman’s Approach Dr. Fadiman recommends taking a microdose capsule once every 3 days to prevent any changes in tolerance. Workweek Approach For a boost in energy and cognition during a hard work week, this approach recommends taking one microdose capsule 5 days a week, and taking the weekend off. Balanced Approach Kind of like Dr. Fadiman’s approach, this balanced approach will help prevent changes in tolerance but instead of once every three days, you’d be taking a microdose capsule once every other day.
Most of the work microdosing will do for you is in the background, it may be a little challenging to know if microdosing is working for you. The compounds in magic mushrooms are proven to help rewire the brain, however, this takes time and because of that, the effects might not seem super dramatic. If you look a little deeper you should notice some major changes in your outlook, emotional and mental health, creativity and more. You should notice an overall change in perceived well-being, possibly less bothered by things that would normally really bug you, you could find yourself worrying less and enjoying the world around you more. Microdosing isn’t a magic “cure-all” but it’s a very powerful tool for changing your outlook on life and allowing you to be a more well-rounded you.
They're possibly our favourite product! We’ve been buying Ashwagandha from our local health food store for about 8 years now, usually, we put it in tea but sometimes make capsules for on the road.

General Magic Mushroom Info
Magic mushrooms are any psilocybin/psilocin-containing mushrooms. These compounds make them hallucinogenic and have been used by people for thousands of years in ceremonial practice, for medicinal reasons and recreation. Psilocybin mushrooms; commonly known as magic mushrooms, mushrooms or shrooms, are a polyphyletic informal group of fungi that contain psilocybin which turns into psilocin upon ingestion.
Absolutely! Many studies are proving how beneficial psilocybin mushrooms are for mental health and we can speak from first-hand experience that it is true! Our reviews section is filled with people speaking about the benefits of magic mushrooms, in particular to their depression.
If you’re consuming them on a regular basis, yes. You should always wait 2-4 weeks between larger doses of magic mushrooms to reset your tolerance and take advantage of the long lasting effects on your emotional well-being.
Microdosing (Up to .25g)
A small dose isn’t enough to “trip” in the traditional sense, but can lead to subtle yet profound internal shifts. Improvements in mood, productivity, or creativity, enhanced focus, less reactivity, and the possibility of relief from depression, anxiety, cluster headaches, and a variety of other symptoms.
Level 1 (0.25-1 gram)
This level produces a mild “stoning” effect, with some visual enhancement (i.e. brighter colours, etcetera). Some short-term memory anomalies. Left/right brain communication changes causing music to sound “wider”.
Level 2 (1 to 2 grams)
Bright colours, and visuals (i.e. things start to move and breathe), some 2-dimensional patterns become apparent upon shutting eyes. Confused or reminiscent thoughts. Change in short term memory leads to continual distractive thought patterns. The vast increase in creativity becomes apparent as the natural brain filter is bypassed.
Level 3 (2 to 3.5 grams – medium to high recreational dose)
Very obvious visuals, everything looking curved and/or warped patterns and kaleidoscopes seen on walls, faces etc. Some mild hallucinations such as rivers flowing on wood-grained or “mother of pearl” surfaces. Closed eye hallucinations become 3 dimensional. There is some confusion of the senses (i.e. seeing sounds as colours, etcetera). Time distortions and “moments of eternity”.
Level 4 (3.5-5 grams – heavy recreational to spiritual dose)
Strong hallucinations, i.e. object morphing into other objects. Destruction or multiple splitting of the ego. (Things start talking to you, or you find that you are feeling contradictory things simultaneously). Some loss of reality. Time becomes meaningless. Out-of-body experiences and e.s.p. type phenomena. Blending of the senses.
Level 5 (5+grams – heroic/spiritual dose)
Total loss of visual connection with reality. The senses cease to function in the normal way. Total loss of ego. Merging with space, other objects, or the universe. The loss of reality becomes so severe that it defies explanation. The earlier levels are relatively easy to explain in terms of measurable changes in perception and thought patterns. This level is different in that the actual universe within which things are normally perceived, ceases to exist! Satori enlightenment (and other such labels).
The short answer is maybe, and you should NEVER consume recreational amounts of mushrooms before you work or operate any kind of vehicle. However, most drug tests do not test for psilocybin/psilocin, almost all of them test only for cannabinoids, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates and PCP. Always use mushrooms responsibly.
Yes, Canadian doctors can now legally prescribe psilocybin treatments but not all are open to it just yet.
Magic mushrooms are not addictive. You can Microdose daily with no addiction issues whatsoever. Our bodies build up a tolerance though so while microdosing daily is fine, you would need larger and larger doses to get the same experience. We recommend taking a break of 2 weeks or more between trips for efficiency.
If you store your mushrooms in a cool, dry, dark place and they’re sealed in a zipper bag, Tupperware, or mason jar, they will retain potency for a long time. If they get damp there is a possibility of them growing mould, so always store them sealed with the desiccant/silica packet we provide.
Lemon Tek is a way of consuming magic mushrooms efficiently. Lemon Tek converts the psilocybin in your shrooms to psilocin before consumption which means the effects are noticeable quicker but your trip time is slightly decreased.
Simple Lemon Tek Instructions:
1. Grind your dried mushrooms into a powder.
2. Squeeze enough fresh lemon juice to completely cover and saturate.
3. Wait 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
