A 6 capsule serving size of Qualia Mind® contains 100 mg of caffeine. The nootropic range for caffeine for most people is in the range of 50-200 mg. To get the best overall nootropic experience from Qualia Mind, we recommend avoiding other products that contain caffeine in an amount that would, when combined with Qualia Mind, supply more than 200 mg of caffeine.
We do not recommend giving Qualia Mind® to children or teenagers, because (1) some of the ingredients have only been studied in adults, and (2) a 6 capsule suggested serving size contains 100 mg of caffeine, which when added to the amount of caffeine many teens consume in sodas, coffee drinks, energy drinks, etc., would place them above the amount recommended by doctors (The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests limiting caffeine intake to 100 mg in adolescents ages 12 to 18 years old and has not designated a safe threshold for caffeine in children 11 years old and younger).*
Qualia Mind® combines 32 ingredients that have been carefully selected to support mental energy, alertness, attention, concentration, focus, memory, mood, motivation, and overall cognitive performance.
Several ingredients in Qualia Mind®—Rhodiola, Ginkgo, PQQ, Lutein, Phosphatidylserine, and Nutricog®, as examples—can be thought of as more akin to the tortoise than the hare from Aesop’s fable (i.e., “slow and steady wins the race”).
