Therapeutic Potential
River Rock aims to help meet the needs of psilocybin-assisted therapy and alternative treatments for mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. Psilocybin has also been shown to have the potential to enhance spiritual experiences, increase creativity, and improve Overall Wellbeing
New to Psilocybin/PSILOCIN?
Pscilocybin/Psilocin
Psilocybin (PY, 4-phosphoryloxy-N, N-dimethyltryptamine) is the main psychoactive principle of hallucinogenic mushrooms. After ingestion, psilocybin is converted into the pharmacologically active form psilocin. Psilocin is an isomer of bufotenine, it differs only in the position of the hydroxylgroup. Psilocin is relatively unstable in solution. Under alkaline conditions in the presence of oxygen it immediately forms bluish and black degradation products. Psilocin is also present in the mushrooms, but in smaller amounts. Both psilocybin and psilocin are indolealkylamines and structurally similar to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5- hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT). Besides psilocybin and psilocin, two further tryptamines — baeocystin and norbaeocystin — could also be present but are thought to be less active than psilocybin and psilocin
