Yes, for some Qualia products, and for others, on an everyday basis, it will depend on the person. We consider Qualia Mind® to be a great complement to other Qualia products such as Qualia Life®, Qualia Night®, Qualia Synbiotic®, Qualia Senolytic®, Qualia NAD+®, and Qualia Skin®. Combining Qualia Mind with other Qualia nootropic products may be dependent on a person’s sensitivity to caffeine.
Qualia Mind, Qualia Focus®, and Qualia Energy Shot all contain caffeine, and caffeine is not a “more is better” nootropic ingredient. Combining Qualia Mind with either Qualia Focus, or Qualia Energy Shot would supply an amount of caffeine we’d consider to be at the top end of the nootropic range.
This is an amount of caffeine that some people prefer but which may be too stimulating for other individuals. As always, we recommend that you consult with your physician when adding or combining supplements.*

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).*
Most ingredients have many different forms of varying quality and potency. In every case, we chose the absolute highest grade form of each ingredient for Qualia.
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”).
