• Systematic review of 44 studies involving microdosing
• Analysed a vast range of mental and physical factors
• All evidence indicated clear improvements in cognition, mental health, and a change in conscious state
• Self-report studies also found improvements in creativity, attention, wellbeing, positive personality changes, greater connection to nature, mood, sociability, and emotional processing
• Self-report studies were considered to be more reliable, as reports came from the long-term effects of microdosing, in contrast to lab studies analysing effects only after a single microdose
• Recommendations were also made for future microdosing studies in regards to dose, placebo control, safety and study designs
