Can I take Qualia Mind® in addition to Qualia Focus®?
Research does not suggest any safety concern in taking Qualia Mind® and Qualia Focus® together, though we think of them as being “either/or” rather than “both together” products for most people. Part of the reason we think of them in this way is that each of these products was formulated to stand on its own as a nootropic. Another part of the reason is that each contains caffeine. And, the last part of the reason is that they have an overlap in several other ingredients (e.g., Celastrus, Ginkgo, L-theanine, some B-vitamins). Taking a full suggested serving size of Qualia Mind with Qualia Focus, as an example, would deliver 200 mg of caffeine, which is within the 50-200 mg range where caffeine performs exceptionally well as a nootropic. For people who are not sensitive to this amount of caffeine, we don’t believe that there is any reason why Qualia Mind and Qualia Focus can’t be used together.*

Is it okay if I have my child or teenager take Qualia Mind®?
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).*
