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.
Did you drink alcohol with Qualia or mix it with other drugs?
Because of the GABAergic effects of alcohol mixed with Qualia, a small percentage of people could experience feeling a little spacey or trippy. Some users may also experience heightened effects of alcohol, such as feeling inebriated quicker, when taking Qualia. For these reasons, we don’t recommend taking Qualia within 24 hours of alcohol consumption.
Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis, and Alzheimers are all very different conditions and those with these or any other neuro-degenerative conditions are contraindicated. To date, we have not done any clinical trials pairing Qualia with neurological conditions, and as such, have no data to share regarding its potential impact.
If stomach upset occurs when taking the product on an empty stomach, take with a meal instead.
Optimal dosage can vary based on body weight and sensitivity.
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.
Minimal alcohol consumption, such as a glass of red wine in the evening, is generally well tolerated. Please note, however, that taking with heavy alcohol consumption is not recommended.
A small percentage of people have reported muscle tightness or soreness, particularly in the neck, shoulders or jaw. Some of those people may also report some sense of pressure in the head. This is most likely the result of choline sensitivity. People have various tolerances for choline and various choline sensitivities.
The number one reason people may not feel the effects is lack of or poor sleep. 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 or poor sleep, you will not feel Qualia working.
Though not common, a small percentage of people who have taken Qualia have noticed some increased level of anxiety when initially taken. Typically these are people who also notice an increased level of anxiety from caffeine related sources.
As you get started with Qualia you will feel more energy, motivation and drive but may also experience other feelings around your emotions.
