The Eternus Drink Mix retired in May 2021. The same formula in capsule format is available for sale in Qualia Mitochondria+. If you loved the drink mix format, you'll be happy to know we are researching new delivery technologies for future product releases.
At the time when we first created, and later when we upgraded Qualia Mitochondria+, the company that supplies the patented form of Nicotinamide Riboside (NIAGEN®) had decided they would not sell this ingredient to other companies. Long story short, they wanted to only use it under their own company branding.
This changed recently, and we have partnered with the supplier and are able to offer this ingredient, leading us to create Qualia NAD+, a formula that takes the qualialife.complex systems science approach and applies it to making NAD+.
For people who wish to take Nicotinamide Riboside, in addition to or instead of the NAD+ support provided by Qualia Life, you'll find Nicotinamide Riboside in Qualia NAD+. Qualia Mitochondria+ also takes a complex systems approach to supporting NAD+: It contains niacin (nicotinic acid), niacinamide, and L-tryptophan to support three different ways of making NAD+.
Qualia Mitochondria+ also supplies comprehensive support for pathways and processes involved in NAD+ metabolism.* Qualia Mitochondria+ does not contain NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) because the FDA has determined that NMN is excluded from the definition of dietary supplement.
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Qualia Mitochondria+ can be taken by any adults, but the groups we had in mind when we formulated and tested it include:
Depending on health, age, and other factors, what you experience will vary. In the biohacker and quantified self communities, you’ll run across the acronym YMMV. This stands for “your mileage may vary.” It means that every person does not respond identically to the same thing. YMMV is seen with diet, exercise, sleep needs, and circadian preferences (i.e., some people are morning people; others are night people). It’s also seen with dietary supplements. Because of this, there’s a growing movement for what are called N-of-1 (or one person) experiments.
Qualia Mitochondria+ was formulated to comprehensively support the multiple interacting metabolic pathways, signaling processes, and cellular mechanisms of long-term healthy function. Better cells and mitochondrial function translates into more high-performing days and longer healthy years.
A good strategy, when starting anything new, is to start slow and gradually working your way up. This takes advantage of the body’s adaptive capacities and minimizes chances of poor response. Exercise is a great example of this. When starting a new exercise routine, the tendency is to want to do a lot right away. But this increases chances of having very sore muscles or getting injured. So, it’s better to start conservatively and slowly do more as your body gets accustomed to the new routine.
In general, we recommend taking the full dose. The full dose provides the studied amounts of many of the ingredients (this is an important part of being able to make accurate structure/function claims) and is the dose we designed the formulation to deliver and have studied in our testing.
Qualia Mitochondria+ was designed to make your cells and mitochondria (the powerhouses of cells) work better. When your cells and mitochondria are able to do their jobs better, we look, feel, and perform better.
When we designed Qualia Mitochondria+, we did so understanding people would take it with one of the other Qualia nootropic products.
