Sue L. reviewed Qualia Mind Essentials
I have tried several products to improve focus and mental clarity. I have had a variety of responses. In some form, all of the different products did provide an increase in focus. However, some also increase anxiety, while others created a real let down effect, on the first day or two after I stopped their product. So far, with Qualia, I have not experienced any of the negative effects that I have experienced with other products. Qualia recommends the product be taken only 5 out of 7 days. During the 2 days I didn't take it, I did not experience any let down, or extra fatigue. So far, for me, this product works well. The focus and clarity is noticeable, but without anxiety or nervousness. YaY!!! for Qualia.
The one that works best for me
I have tried most of the Qualia products over the past year or so and Focus has by far worked the best for me. My awareness becomes clearer, and negative thoughts seem to vanish. I work shift work, which obviously is not the optimal sleep cycle. But even when working night shift I take it when I...
It took me a few days to find the best dosing for myself. I started on a Monday as I have more of a routine M-F. The first day I took 5 capsules in the morning on an empty stomach. I didn’t drink any additional caffeine that day as it is not always a part of my diet so it was truly the only thing besides water consumed for the first hour after waking. I developed a little stomach nausea so had to eat some starches to soothe the wooziness. I also worked most of the day lying down because the entire nausea took a while to subside. The next day I ate and then took the five capsules but still felt a bit nauseous so decided the next day to eat fruit then take 3 capsules followed by the remaining two capsules 3 hours later with food again. This not only mitigate the nausea but also kicked started my own acknowledgment of the benefits. The hurdle to begin large tasks at work was minimized, the desire to break for distractions was not as apparent, and it was easier to stick with completing one task before moving on to another. This is huge for me because I normally jump around task to task because the amount of work for each subconsciously intimidates me and I resist sticking to one thing for extended periods at a time. I took two days off, Saturday and Sunday, and am looking forward to seeing if these benefits are sustained. I will say focus is the main benefit here while I didn’t experience any additional energy or stimulating effects. Which was nice to not feel like I was “on” anything, simply more willing to dedicate time to tasks and made them feel in a way more approachable.
Approachable focalization
The first two days I was on it noticed moderate improvements in my focus and impulsive responses/control over them. Lowered rate of changing thoughts and ability to attend to one stimuli for longer periods of time (approximately 15 minutes without switching gears. I noticed on day 3, a change in my overall mood as well, I felt more appreciative of the things around me and more curious and excited to learn.
An amazing first 3 days!
Great jitter-free focus. Seems to be much more effective than high dose caffeine
