What should I do if I experience sleep disturbance?
Some people experience a re-regulation of sleep patterns after the first week on Qualia. Some users may find they fall asleep later, or sleep less, or have more vivid dreams. If those experiences occur, they generally normalize within a week of regular use.
Because the product contains a small amount of xanthines (caffeine, theophylline, theobromine), we recommend taking Qualia at least 8 hours before bed, depending on how sensitive you are to xanthines and how quickly you metabolize them.
More Frequently Asked Questions
Is Qualia product safe to take with a/o as a replacement for Adderall?
We do not recommend taking Qualia with any other psychoactive medication, such as Adderall.
You should consult your physician when discontinuing use of any psychoactive medication prior to using any product you are intending to replace the use of a psychoactive medication.
Can I take Qualia while pregnant or breastfeeding?
As found in our medical disclaimer, Qualia should not be taken by women who are pregnant or nursing.
Why is cycling important?
Cycling maximizes the benefits while also preventing desensitization. As such, our products are designed for regular use, with cycling: 5 days on and 2 days off each week. It does not matter if the 2 "off-cycle" days are consecutive or apart, so long as they happen each week.
Why don't I feel any effects from Qualia?
The number one reason people may not feel the effects is lack of or poor sleep. Qualia works along the same pathways in the brain that move your memories from short to long term storage when you are in deep sleep.
If those pathways are blocked or unavailable due to lack of or poor sleep, you will not feel Qualia working.
What will I experience with Qualia?
The most common effects people report from Qualia Mind and Qualia Mind Essentials are increased focus and attention, increased memory and cognitive capacity, increased drive, motivation and positivity, and increased emotional resilience.
Can Qualia increase anxiety?
Though not common, a small percentage of people who have taken Qualia have noticed some increased level of anxiety when initially taken. Typically these are people who also notice an increased level of anxiety from caffeine related sources.
Is Qualia dose-dependent based on body weight?
Typically the standard recommended dose is applicable across the board except for a small percentage of people. Body weight can be one factor that requires dosage adjustment, as can highly sensitive or de-sensitized systems. With this in mind, we recommend starting with the standard dose, and then, if needed, making any adjustments from there.
Can Qualia cause headaches?
A very small percentage of people have reported some kind of headache or head pressure after beginning Qualia.
Can Qualia be used by those who have neuro-degenerative conditions?
Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis, and Alzheimers are all very different conditions and those with these or any other neuro-degenerative conditions are contraindicated. To date, we have not done any clinical trials pairing Qualia with neurological conditions, and as such, have no data to share regarding its potential impact.
What should I do if I experience increased heart rate or flushing
If you are particularly sensitive to having heart rate increase because you have a heart condition or tachycardia, Qualia might be contraindicated. Please refer to our medical disclaimer and consult with your doctor.
If it’s only mildly elevated, stop use for a day or two, and try again at a lower dose, if you like.
