What Does Orange Juice Have to Do With Psilocybin Therapy?

At The Center Origin, orange juice can play a role in preparing for a psilocybin experience. We use a technique known as citrus tekking, which involves combining psilocybin mushrooms with citrus juice before consumption. The citrus may help the effects begin sooner and create a more concentrated experience.

What Is Citrus Tekking?

Citrus tekking involves combining psilocybin mushrooms with citrus juice before consumption. The acidity of the citrus may help break down compounds in the mushrooms, potentially allowing the effects to begin more quickly.

Some potential benefits include a faster onset, a more concentrated experience, and a shorter overall timeline. For some participants, using citrus juice can also make the mushrooms more pleasant to consume.

Why Orange Juice?

While lemon juice is commonly associated with citrus tekking, The Center Origin uses fresh squeezed orange juice because it tastes better. We believe that making the process more enjoyable is  an important part of creating a thoughtful experience.

How Are the Mushrooms Prepared?

At The Center Origin, the medicine handler prepares the medicine to ensure accurate dosing within a supervised environment and always in accordance with Colorado's legal requirements for the preparation of natural medicine. This is one of the many details our licensed facilitators carefully follow as part of our approach.

Every Detail Matters.

At The Center Origin, we believe the psilocybin experience is about more than the medicine itself. From how natural medicine is prepared to the support provided throughout the experience, our licensed facilitators take a thoughtful, individualized approach designed to help each participant feel informed, prepared, and supported on their journey.
