Tabernanthe mannii (pronounced manny-eye) is an extraordinary plant from West Africa in the same genus as Tabernanthe iboga. Smoother than Iboga Micro-dosing, The mannii is a very effective tool for self inquiry and personal transformation. Many people say it is “the best microdosing”, subtle yet extremely powerful.
The 15ml bottle contains 350 drops, and provides 1 month of microdosing at 10 drops a day, or over 2 months at 5 drops a day. This amount will allow most people to get to the 4-6 week mark with microdosing.
The drops are best taken only once in the morning when you get up. 1-3 drops is what is recommended for very sensitive people to start with. 4-5 drops is going to be imperceptible to most people. As this is microdosing, it is going to work with you therapeutically. You might feel a bit more energy. 10 drops will be noticeable for most people. This is a fairly decent microdose of around 80mg of mannii root bark. 15 drops a day is as strong as could be recommended in terms of microdosing as this might affect your ability to function.
Some people are not going to feel anything until they take maybe 30 drops. Even if you don’t feel anything from this amount, it is useful to recognise it is still working with you as a profound microdosing medicine. That is why about 15 drops is recommended as a maximum for microdosing. Some people have compared 15 drops to a light dose of LSD and dosages above 15 drops may well impair your ability to function or carry out everyday tasks. The effects of mannii microdosing are also known to be cumulative over time, so if you take the drops each day the medicine will get stronger. You might want to take the drops seven days on and then seven days off, or just keep taking them until the bottle runs out. You might even want to take the drops every second day or even every third day if you find the drops bring up a lot for you. At 10 drops a day, you are going to get over 30 days of microdosing. It is really up to you how you dose with them. If you feel the cumulative effect is too intense, then give it a break until you want to go back again. There have been reports of people not being able to sleep properly after microdosing over consecutive days, so in that case, you can dose on alternate days or even every third day. The idea is not to have an experience with the drops but to experience the medicinal nature of the plant working on the psyche, mind and emotions, often at a level below conscious recognition
Some people may report an uncomfortable nauseous like feeling after taking the drops for a few days. This just appears to be a side-effect of the mannii doing its work and in most cases will go away within a day or two. The mannii seems to work a bit like LSD, but with even more intelligence, unlocking neural pathways, reprogramming and rerouting how data flows within the complex nature of the human body. The mannii tincture has a somewhat sharp taste. There is no real way to avoid this. Many very potent African plants unknown in the West have a very bitter taste, and Africans realise the more bitter the plant, the more beneficial it is for you. Within western herbalism, it is typically considered that the bitter herbs activate the vagus nerve which helps potentiate the qualities of the plant being ingested. The drops are made with high quality alcohol, although the taste may appear to be quite alcoholic, the amount of alcohol you are ingesting is very small.
