Andrew C. reviewed Qualia Mind Essentials
I experience very minor short lasting headaches throughout the day on 5 pills but I haven't exercised in a few days. I also feel more dehydrated than without taking the pills and require more water at the end of the day upon realizing I forgot to drink enough. I believe after a couple more weeks of use I'll know when I should cut to 3-4 vs 5 depending on my exercise schedule and other factors like drinking coffee (which I prefer not to) but socially slips itself in. I do take quite a bit of l-theanine in my morning smoothie which obviously diminishes the real intensity I would feel from QFocus but I just always feel better with theanine regardless of when I take QFocus. The only reason I take Qualia vs coffee is the general sense of well being and more optimism vs just a jittery anxiety inducing coffee. The mental clarity between the two is similar. Overall, I'm happy with this cheaper Qualia version as there is no obvious reduction in benefit to me.

It has a more intense focus effect than the O.S. so I find I don't need it everyday; I like the full dose for a day I know I need to be honed in and I usually take a half dose or a little l...
Does the trick
I've found that the combination of Qualia Focus and exercising first thing in the morning gives me that sustained edge and attention throughout the day that otherwise may come and go. Good product.
