What does Qualia mean?

Qualia is to capture the subjective, first-person qualities of conscious experience—what it feels like to see red, taste sweetness, or feel pain. They highlight the distinction between the objective, physical description of a stimulus and the personal, lived experience of it, emphasizing the "what it is like" aspect of consciousness.

Who owns Qualia?

Qualia was founded in 2015. It was co-founded by James Schmachtenberger (CEO), Daniel Schmachtenberger, Jordan Greenhall, and Venessa Hall. The founders and leadership team oversee the brand’s direction, with James Schmachtenberger serving as the current CEO.

Is Qualia 3rd party tested?

Yes, Qualia is third-party tested. Qualia is manufactured in USA FDA registered facilities, and all manufacturers have Third Party cGMP certification. Our formulations are also tested and screened for purity/potency, heavy metals, yeast and mold, microbial contaminants, and gluten and verified to be non-GMO. We also test the finished product to further ensure quality during manufacturing.


How long has Qualia been around?

Qualia was founded in 2015 with the mission of creating best in class well-being products by employing a unique methodology to research and development based on complex systems science. This scientific approach focuses on supporting the body’s ability to self-regulate, rather than overriding regulatory systems with chemicals designed to move a biomarker in a particular direction. The company began with a focus on cognitive products with the launch of its Qualia nootropic line and will continue to provide comprehensive products for overall peak performance.

What do you mean by vegan and vegetarian?

Qualia Life Sciences fully vets our suppliers to confirm that every ingredient that goes into our products is backed by an official statement about its suitability for vegans or vegetarians, and/or that it does not contain animal-derived ingredients or animal by-products, nor does it require any animal substances in production. Therefore, when we claim that one of our products is vegan or vegetarian, you can be confident that we have confirmed its accuracy. 

Vegan and vegetarian claims are not defined or regulated by the Food and Drug Administration; thus, there is no official definition that is regulated by law. In terms of manufacturing and supply chain, food ingredients, including those in dietary supplements, are declared vegan when they do not contain any substances sourced, derived, or produced from animals or animal by-products such as milk, egg, wool, honey, etc. Within the consumer goods industry, foods or supplements with a vegetarian claim imply "ovo-lacto" vegetarian, meaning that they may include dairy, eggs, and/or bee products, although in the broader culture vegetarianism may restrict one of these ingredients. As a result, a dietary supplement may accurately claim to be vegan or vegetarian when 100% of the ingredients meet the generally accepted criteria listed above. While these definitions may differ from the broader scope adopted by vegan or vegetarian organizations and/or certifiers to exclude animal-testing, we believe the general consumer consensus agrees with the industry definition.

Are you just another nootropic company that makes false claims?

The supplement industry is indeed the “Wild West” and there are a lot of snake oil salesmen out there with false claims and no ethical standards. Part of what inspired the creation of Qualia was in response to this exact problem.

We have non-proprietary formulations we publish exactly what’s in our product, with the exact amounts. We publish links to the research that support their safety and efficacy, which includes Phase II & III university and clinical trials, strong quantified self research data, and over 40+ years international research on nootropic stack formulation. We specifically designed our product with a set of ethical guidelines, so that we would avoid things like dependence or down regulation. In addition, the formulation was designed to produce long-term benefits to the brain, supporting the growth of new neurons, synaptic connections, neuroprotection, and so on.

Qualia recently began a pilot study using the CBS Health platform powered by Cambridge Brain Sciences (CBS) — a leading provider of cognitive testing tools—to help customers receive quantitative feedback on their current brain health. In the initial pilot study, customers were self-selected and offered free cognitive testing with the purchase of Qualia Mind.

Here are some of the highlights from that pilot study

The Results

The results for the 23 eligible subjects revealed meaningful improvement in core cognitive areas of reasoning, verbal ability and concentration. After 5 days of taking Qualia Mind, participants saw:

85.4% increase in scores to measure ability to concentrate/avoid distraction
37.2% increase in scores for planning skills
31.1% increase in scores for visual representation
16.9% increase in scores for verbal reasoning
13.3% increase in scores for verbal short-term memory
