The product, in detail
Microdosing
A cactus, dried and weighed
Each gentle capsule contains 500mg of dried San Pedro cactus powder. The stated routine uses 1 capsule on 4 or 5 days of the week, followed by 2 or 3 days off.
The cactus
A ribbed column from the Andes
San Pedro is a columnar cactus native to the Andes of Peru and Ecuador. Its botanical name is Trichocereus pachanoi, also catalogued as Echinopsis pachanoi. It grows as a thick blue-green stem with six or seven broad ribs and very short spines, sometimes none at all.
San Pedro has a long history of ceremonial use in Indigenous communities of the Andes.
The gentle capsule contains that stem, dried and milled into powder.
2 capsules
500mg, and 50mg
The gentle capsule contains 500mg of dried San Pedro powder. The moderate capsule contains 50mg of extract. The extract is concentrated, so the figures cannot be compared as if they were the same preparation.
The gentle capsule has a weekly rhythm. The moderate capsule is counted separately: the directions describe 1 to 3 capsules as light and 5 or more as stronger.
The week
A weekly capsule schedule
Take 1 gentle capsule on 4 or 5 days of the week, followed by 2 or 3 days off. Either pattern fills a seven-day cycle.
Continue for about 2 months, then pause and re-evaluate before beginning another cycle.
The gentle capsules come in a paper tube of twenty or refill pouches of twenty and five. Dried powder is also available loose by the gram.
