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:
Things that can make it less effective:
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.
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.
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.
Since recreational drugs are not legal in the United States, we are not in a position to advise regarding their interactions with Qualia.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
As found in our medical disclaimer, Qualia should not be taken by women who are pregnant or nursing.
