As consumers incorporate more intentional and holistic practices into their day-to-day lives, product innovation within the wellness space has followed. Among these innovations, ingestible capsules have somewhat revolutionized mood elevation routines as, unlike other methods, they are discreet, convenient, and easy to incorporate into a daily regimen. However, general wellness capsules should never be used to substitute products that contain psychedelic substances to improve one’s mood. Before making a purchase, the consumer should be informed about the composition of the product, the intended use, available information regarding the product’s quality and safety, and the surrounding legal framework.

During your search for microdose capsules in Canada, you may run into products that have come up with several claims regarding their potential to elevate your mood, focus, energy or emotional well-being. Be cautious of these claims. Health Canada has indicated that psilocybin, psilocin, and psychedelic mushrooms fall under the category of controlled substances, and therefore, the sale, production, and possession of such are illegal without an approved license. Health Canada further indicated that there are currently no approved therapeutic products containing psilocybin in Canada. As such, microdose capsules do not qualify as approved treatments for mood-related concerns.
