There are no ingredients that should conflict with any standard corporate drug test, nor is there any ingredients that is a controlled narcotic.
Other regulatory bodies such as sports organizations and collegiate associations have their own rules and lists of banned or prohibited substances. We strongly encourage you to research which substances are banned by any regulatory body that you participate under and check those against the ingredients in Qualia listed on our Formulation page before taking Qualia.
There are a few ingredients in Qualia that could have a foreseeable conflict. These ingredients are caffeine and phenethylamine. Some regulatory bodies also ban any substance that is chemically related to the class, even if it is not listed as an example on their documentation, so please consult with that organization if you have any questions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A very small percentage of people have reported some kind of headache or head pressure after beginning Qualia.
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.
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.
