How much caffeine is in Qualia Mind®?

A six capsule serving size of Qualia Mind® contains 100 mg of caffeine (there’s about 17 mg of caffeine per capsule) from a combination of organic Coffeeberry® whole coffee fruit extract, guarana seed extract, and anhydrous caffeine. This 100 mg amount of caffeine is found in about an 8 ounce cup of coffee. We chose this amount of caffeine because caffeine’s nootropic (i.e., brain performance) range is generally from 50-200mg, while 100-600mg of caffeine are used for ergogenic (i.e., exercise/sports) purposes. So the amount of caffeine in Qualia Mind is in the lower part of the range most commonly used for mental and physical performance support purposes.*

More Frequently Asked Questions

What is Qualia Mind®?

Qualia Mind® combines 32 ingredients that have been carefully selected to support mental energy, alertness, attention, concentration, focus, memory, mood, motivation, and overall cognitive performance. The word “thinking” can be used as a way to describe the brain’s primary function—taking in, processing, transmitting, and using information. The brain performs these functions using cognitive skills, which collectively allow us to perceive, reason, understand, learn, and remember. Related cognitive skills are grouped together into bigger cognitive domains including complex attention, executive functions, and memory. In the simplest sense, Qualia Mind was formulated to support an array of cognitive skills in these different domains.*

Who should not take Qualia Mind®?

Women who are pregnant or nursing.

Children and teenagers under the age of 18.

Check with your doctor before taking Qualia Mind® if…

  • you are currently taking any prescription medications.

  • you have a diagnosed medical condition.

  • you are concerned about taking it for any reason.

The suggested serving size for Qualia Mind® is 3-6 capsules a day.

Is it okay if I have my child or teenager take Qualia Mind®?

We do not recommend giving Qualia Mind® to children or teenagers, because (1) some of the ingredients have only been studied in adults, and (2) a 6 capsule suggested serving size contains 100 mg of caffeine, which when added to the amount of caffeine many teens consume in sodas, coffee drinks, energy drinks, etc., would place them above the amount recommended by doctors (The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests limiting caffeine intake to 100 mg in adolescents ages 12 to 18 years old and has not designated a safe threshold for caffeine in children 11 years old and younger).*

Why is Qualia Mind so expensive?

Most ingredients have many different forms of varying quality and potency. In every case, we chose the absolute highest grade form of each ingredient for Qualia.  

Additionally, the quantity of ingredients in Qualia vastly exceeds what is typical for nootropic products. Our raw ingredients cost is actually higher than the market cost of many of our competitors. We encourage you to research the ingredients in our product, the forms of those ingredients, the dosages, and then compare that information with other nootropics on the market. We think you will then agree that Qualia is at the top end in price because it is at the top end in quality.

Yes. It’s perfectly fine to take fewer capsules than the suggested serving size. We encourage you to work with your physician to find an amount of capsules that you feel best supports the cognitive performance results you expect from a nootropic product.

What should I do if I notice a side-effect and think it might be because of taking Qualia Mind®?

If you notice something you think may be a side-effect, please stop taking Qualia Mind® and let us know by email or by calling or texting (855) 281-2328.

Can I take Qualia Mind® in addition to Qualia Focus®?

Research does not suggest any safety concern in taking Qualia Mind® and Qualia Focus® together, though we think of them as being “either/or” rather than “both together” products for most people. Part of the reason we think of them in this way is that each of these products was formulated to stand on its own as a nootropic. Another part of the reason is that each contains caffeine. And, the last part of the reason is that they have an overlap in several other ingredients (e.g., Celastrus, Ginkgo, L-theanine, some B-vitamins). Taking a full suggested serving size of Qualia Mind with Qualia Focus, as an example, would deliver 200 mg of caffeine, which is within the 50-200 mg range where caffeine performs exceptionally well as a nootropic. For people who are not sensitive to this amount of caffeine, we don’t believe that there is any reason why Qualia Mind and Qualia Focus can’t be used together.*
