Rushton W. reviewed Qualia Mind Essentials
I've been taking Qualia since there was only the Original Stack. I'm currently taking Q. Focus and love it! 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 less for general work days. Qualia is by far the best nootropic I have ever had since I started exploring them 6-7 years ago.
I take 5 capsules of Focus first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with water. I then meditate for about 40 minutes. Since I started using this product I have noticed that it is much easier to maintain my focus on my breathe while meditating. I also don't need much time to 'wake up' my brain after waking. I notice a much easier transition into my work in the morning. I do not get jittery or feel anxious on this product even when I take it on an empty stomach (sometimes but I drink coffee on an empty stomach I get uneasy). I notice that it doesn't have any noticeable effect on my sleep.
Focus wakes me up and preps my mind for morning mental work
