Some people experience a re-regulation of sleep patterns after the first week on Qualia. Some users may find they fall asleep later, or sleep less, or have more vivid dreams. If those experiences occur, they generally normalize within a week of regular use.
Because the product contains a small amount of xanthines (caffeine, theophylline, theobromine), we recommend taking Qualia at least 8 hours before bed, depending on how sensitive you are to xanthines and how quickly you metabolize them.
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.
