Guide
What a dose actually does, by range
Every ladder on the dosing page has five rungs, and every rung says three things: what that amount does, what it does not do, and a practical note about timing and food. This post is about why the middle field exists and how to read it.
Most dose guides are written to sell the next rung. They describe each amount in terms of what it adds, so the ladder reads like a staircase and the top step looks like the destination. We have tried to write ours so each rung reads like a room you could live in. The does-not field is what makes that honest.
Take Focus. The Low rung says clearer first hour, less rereading. It also says it does not add energy, and that if you are tired you are still tired. That second sentence is the one that stops you from taking four capsules on a bad morning and deciding the product is broken.
Depth is the category where this matters most. The Standard rung is a full evening and the Upper rung publishes no number at all, on purpose. Muscimol does not reward escalating, and the honest thing to say about higher amounts is that they are where the hospital reports start. A dash on the ladder is a decision, not a gap.
Read the ladder for the category you are considering, then read the Before you take anything list under it. If after that you still want the product, you are exactly the customer we want. If you do not, that is the page working.
