Is it okay to drink alcohol with Qualia Mind®?
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans cautions against mixing alcohol with caffeine. The reason for the caution is that when alcohol is mixed with caffeine, the caffeine can mask the effects of alcohol, making drinkers feel more alert than they would otherwise. The CDC's Alcohol and Caffeine Fact Sheet gives more information on their concerns. Since Qualia Mind® contains caffeine, we recommend it not be taken immediately before or at the same time as alcohol is consumed.

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).*
