Balanced High | Macrodose Capsules

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) is a carefully formulated magic mushroom macrodose supplement designed for both recreational and therapeutic experiences. It combines a potent blend of organic bioactive ingredients to provide uplifting and revitalizing effects while supporting overall brain health.

You can learn more about the origins of this formula in our article, "Scooby Snacks Mushrooms: Everything You Need to Know First."

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) contains a unique blend of natural ingredients:

• Organic Psilocybe Cubensis: Promotes neurogenesis and mood enhancement
• Organic Bee Pollen: Nutrient-rich multivitamin supporting energy, metabolism, and mood
• Organic Spearmint Extract: Refreshing stress-reliever that boosts mental focus and memory
• Organic Spirulina Extract: Mood-elevating and nutrient-packed superfood
• Organic Ginkgo Biloba: Improves cognitive function and counteracts stress hormones
• Organic Ginseng: Enhances brain function, memory, and calm focus

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) works by harnessing the synergistic effects of its carefully selected ingredients. The organic Psilocybe Cubensis improves BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factors) levels and interacts with serotonin receptors to elevate mood, enhance memory, and enhance cognitive function, while the other ingredients contribute to improved focus, reduced stress, increased energy balance and metabolism, and overall brain health.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) offers a range of benefits for users seeking an enhanced sensory experience and brain health support. These benefits include:

• Elevated mood and well-being
• Enhanced sensory experiences
• Increased focus and mental clarity
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Long-term brain health support and neurogenesis

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks), containing a macrodose of psilocybin, may potentially help with depression by positively influencing brain function, promoting emotional well-being, and enhancing the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Psilocybin works by stimulating the 5-HT2A serotonin receptors in the brain, which can lead to improved mood, emotional regulation, and a heightened sense of connection and self-awareness.

Here's how Balanced High might help with depression:

• Increasing BDNF production: Psilocybin has been shown to promote the production of BDNF, a protein that supports the survival, growth, and maintenance of neurons in the brain. Higher levels of BDNF are associated with improved brain function, reduced symptoms of depression, and enhanced cognitive abilities.
• Boosting mood: Psilocybin has been shown to increase the release of serotonin in the brain, a neurotransmitter that plays a significant role in regulating mood and overall emotional state.
• Enhancing neuroplasticity: Psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to create new neural connections and adapt to new information or experiences. This increased neuroplasticity could potentially help individuals overcome negative thought patterns and depressive symptoms.
• Improving emotional processing: Some studies suggest that psilocybin can help individuals process emotions more effectively, allowing them to better understand and work through their feelings.
• Encouraging self-reflection: Psilocybin experiences often lead to introspection and self-exploration, which can help individuals confront the root causes of their depression and develop new coping strategies.

However, it's important to remember that everyone's experience with psilocybin can vary, and its effectiveness in treating depression may depend on individual factors. While some individuals might find relief from depressive symptoms using Balanced High, others may not experience the same benefits.

If you are considering using Balanced High to help with depression, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to assess whether it is suitable for your specific situation and to discuss potential risks and benefits. Additionally, incorporating other therapies, such as psychotherapy or medication, might be necessary for a comprehensive approach to treating depression.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks), containing a macrodose of psilocybin, may potentially help with anxiety by altering brain function, promoting relaxation, and facilitating a sense of connection and self-awareness. Psilocybin interacts with the 5HT2A serotonin receptors in the brain, which can lead to changes in mood, emotional regulation, and perception.

Here's how Balanced High might help with anxiety:

• Modulating mood: Psilocybin has been shown to affect serotonin levels in the brain, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating mood and overall emotional state. By increasing serotonin, psilocybin may help alleviate anxiety symptoms and promote relaxation.
• Enhancing mindfulness and self-awareness: Psilocybin experiences often encourage introspection and self-exploration, which can help individuals better understand the root causes of their anxiety and develop new coping strategies.
• Promoting a sense of connection: Psilocybin can foster feelings of connection to oneself, others, and the world around, which may help alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness that can contribute to anxiety.
• Reducing negative thought patterns: Some studies suggest that psilocybin can help disrupt negative thought patterns and promote more adaptive ways of thinking, potentially helping to reduce anxiety symptoms.
• Encouraging neuroplasticity: Psilocybin may promote neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to create new neural connections and adapt to new information or experiences. This increased neuroplasticity could help individuals overcome anxiety-related thought patterns and behaviors.



However, it's important to note that everyone's experience with psilocybin can vary, and its effectiveness in treating anxiety may depend on individual factors. While some individuals might find relief from anxiety symptoms using Balanced High, others may not experience the same benefits.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) is made from natural, organic ingredients that are well-tolerated and generally safe to use for most individuals. However, they are also clinically studied to interact with a number of neurological and physiological pathways. As such, it's important to consult a healthcare professional before using any new supplement, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions or are taking medications.

You can take Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) as advised by your healthcare provider, as is, or by breaking them open and Lemon Teking their contents. Lemon Teking helps to intensify the trip and reduce the nausea, which you can learn more about in our guide to Lemon Teking.

Before combining Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) with other supplements or medications, consult your healthcare professional to ensure that no interactions may occur. This is particularly important if you are taking medications for mental health conditions, as interactions could affect the effectiveness of your medications. However, clinical trials indicate that psilocybin may be as or more effective than conventional medications at treating mental health conditions for the long-term, without the need for daily or consistent dosing. We recommend you discuss your options with a healthcare professional, particularly one that has received training with psychedelics or is well-versed on their effects.

Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) is specifically formulated as a macrodose supplement to provide a more pronounced experience, though many of our customers do report using it for their microdosing regimen.

Alternatively, consider using one of our microdose Stacks, which are specifically designed for a fine-tuned microdosing experience. They are available in 3 blends: Brain Stack, Energy Stack, and Vitality Stack.

If you are using Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) to macrodose, it's important to wait at least 1 week between magic mushroom macrodoses to avoid building a tolerance. If you are microdosing, stop microdosing at least 1 week before you intend on macrodosing, and wait at least one more week after your macrodose before microdosing again.

If you are microdosing with Extended Release, we recommend following a microdosing protocol. We cover 7 different protocols in this article here.

Other than that, the frequency of use depends on your goals and preferences. Always follow the recommended dosage guidelines and consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance. You may prefer occasional use for special events or experiences, or you may choose to incorporate Balanced High more regularly into your routine for therapeutic purposes. It's essential to listen to your body and adjust usage patterns accordingly.

Regular use of psychedelics, including Balanced High, can lead to a development of tolerance. It is recommended to space out usage and follow recommended dosage guidelines to avoid building a tolerance.

When considering taking Balanced High (AKA Scooby Snacks) while on antidepressants, it's essential to understand the potential risks and benefits. Serotonin Syndrome (SS) is a concern when combining drugs that increase serotonin levels, such as SSRIs and psilocybin. However, Kelan Thomas, Associate Professor at Touro University California College of Pharmacy, says that the risk of SS with psilocybin is low due to its psychedelic partial agonist properties at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.

Dr. Erica Zelfand, a licensed family doctor and psychedelic facilitator, has worked with patients taking psilocybin while on antidepressants. She believes there isn't enough scientific evidence to support asking patients to discontinue their antidepressants before using psilocybin. She notes that "severe cases of serotonin toxicity with psilocybin are rare."

A recent study showed that SSRIs combined with psilocybin are safe, and SSRIs may even have a protective effect against negative drug effects like anxiety, nausea, headache, and fatigue. The study concluded that "stopping escitalopram treatment before psilocybin administration may not be warranted."

Some people on SSRIs report reduced effects of psilocybin. Dr. Zelfand found that people using SSRIs long-term might need 30-50% higher doses of psilocybin. However, Dr. Matthias Liechti, the Principal Investigator of the escitalopram study, did not see an impact on psilocybin's effects in the group taking the SSRI.

It's important to remember that experiences can vary among individuals. If you're considering taking Balanced High while on antidepressants, consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.

The best way to store magic mushrooms is to keep them in an air-tight container that minimizes their exposure to oxygen, heat, UV light, and bacterial or fungal spores. That's why we use amber glass jars, which we cover in more detail below.

Most experts recommend the jar and cupboard method over common practices like storing mushrooms in the freezer. This method can preserve dried mushrooms for at least a year if you store them in a dark, dry, cool place, like a cupboard.

We use amber containers for a few reasons:

• Glass comes from nature: Glass is made from naturally occurring ingredients abundant in nature. The transformation of these ingredients results in one sole material. No other material or chemical layers are needed to complete it.
• They protect light-sensitive products: One of the main benefits of using amber glass is that it provides the best protection against UV light, blue light, and other light wavelengths under the 450-nanometer range. UV rays can cause what is known as photooxidation, which reduces the efficacy of the ingredients by breaking them down.
• They provide a safer interaction: This means that there won’t be any chemical interactions between the glass and product inside, unlike plastic which is latent with chemicals that break down fairly easily and interact with the stored product.
• They are recyclable and can be reused: Not only is glass a safe packaging for food, it is also environmentally sustainable! Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly with no loss in quality or purity. Glass recycling is a closed loop system, creating no additional waste or by-products.
