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.
If that is the case, the best advice is to stop taking Qualia and work on your sleep. Take 3-5 days and get as much sleep as you can. Rest up and then try Qualia again and see if you notice the difference.
Here is the rest of the best advice to get the most out of Qualia:
Qualia is going to be most effective in addition to a performance optimizing lifestyle, and least effective in a performance damaging lifestyle.
Things that can make it most effective:
- Follow the instructions.
- Get good sleep. If you’re not sleeping enough or well, the product will not work.
- Get good nutrition. Qualia is designed to work with additional chemistries not included in this stack that are part of any healthy diet. If you’re not eating well, this product might not work well.
- Get moving. Your body fluids need to circulate. If you’re not getting exercise and movement, it’s not going to work as well.
Things that can make it less effective:
- Not following the instructions
- Not enough healthy fats in your diet
- Caffeine desensitization
- Too small a dose
- Not drinking enough water
- Cannabis or alcohol use
- Desensitization from other past stimulants or psychotropic drugs or meds
More Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
Can I take Qualia while also using recreational drugs?
Since recreational drugs are not legal in the United States, we are not in a position to advise regarding their interactions with Qualia.
What should I do if I can't swallow pills?
Are there alternative ways to take Qualia capsules or tablets and still get a beneficial effect?
Yes!
You can open the Qualia capsules and take with water or even place under the tongue for quicker absorption.
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.
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.
Does Qualia help address anxiety or depression?
Unfortunately, the chemistry of depression and anxiety can be very nuanced. As such, we do not recommend anyone experiencing any type of psychiatric issues take Qualia unsupervised. While some have reported that they have felt a brighter mood and more calmness after taking Qualia, we recommend further discussing this with your physician. Please also see our disclaimer below:

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.
