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.
To that end, quality sleep is actually more important than body weight when it comes to feeling the optimal effects. 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 and/or poor sleep, you will not feel it working. We recommend that prior to taking Qualia (as well as while on it), be sure to work on your sleep and get as much rest as you, ensuring proper optimization and resulting effects, no matter what your body weight.
The length of time to notice the effects can vary, but in general, you'll be able to feel the subjective, full effects as it relates to mental focus, energy and clarity within as little as 20 minutes. If you do not, and if your sleep is on par with the info outlined above, then we'd recommend increasing your dosage.
Everyone's chemistry is unique, and if the standard dosage does not match for your needs, we encourage experimenting and adjusting to find your optimal intake.
Lifestyle
Qualia is intended to support cognitive function and productive flow states as a part of a lifestyle that promotes well being and optimal performance. Good nutrition, exercise, sleep, mental engagement, emotional management, and an empowered outlook are all essential for a healthy body and brain.
A very small percentage of people have reported some kind of headache or head pressure after beginning Qualia.
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.
Are there alternative ways to take Qualia capsules or tablets and still get a beneficial effect?
Yes!
You can open the Qualia capsules and take with water or even place under the tongue for quicker absorption.
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 you get started with Qualia you will feel more energy, motivation and drive but may also experience other feelings around your emotions.
As found in our medical disclaimer, Qualia should not be taken by women who are pregnant or nursing.
Qualia formulations are designed to be taken 5 days on and 2 days off each week. This maximizes the benefits while preventing desensitization.
We’ve taken care to avoid risky ingredients and to select dosages that are unlikely to have negative effects for most people. That said, this isn’t a placebo. The supplements in Qualia have real effects and there is a lot in here. Read the instructions and follow them. If something feels wrong, stop using it.
