What Is Ibotenic Acid and Why Should Your Gummies Be Free of It?
If you’ve been exploring mushroom microdosing for wellness and sleep, you may have come across the term ibotenic acid. But what is it—and why does it matter that your mushroom gummies are ibotenic acid-free? In this article, we’ll explore what ibotenic acid is, why it’s removed from our functional mushroom products, and how Regalis Microdose Gummies from The Trusted Lab support a safe and soothing path to deeper sleep.
Understanding Ibotenic Acid
Ibotenic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in certain mushrooms, including Amanita Muscaria and Amanita Pantherina. While it’s part of what gives these mushrooms their unique properties, it’s also known to cause:
- Nausea and stomach discomfort
- Unpredictable psychoactive effects
- Sleep disturbances or overstimulation
For wellness-focused microdosing—especially for sleep—ibotenic acid is something you want less of, not more. That’s where detoxification comes in.
What Does “Ibotenic Acid-Free” Really Mean?
When a mushroom product is labeled ibotenic acid-free, it means the compound has been removed or converted into muscimol—a gentler, calming compound. This detoxification process makes microdosing safer and more effective, especially for beginners or those using mushrooms for rest and mental clarity.
Benefits of Ibotenic Acid-Free Formulas
- Calmer, more predictable effects
- No nausea or unpleasant digestive reactions
- More suitable for relaxation and sleep support
