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 dose of Qualia Mind with Qualia Focus, as an example, would deliver 190 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.*

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.
Calories are not a standard part of labeling for dietary supplements, because, unlike foods, or macronutrients (e.g., fats, carbohydrates, proteins), vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbs don’t have clearly defined calorie counts. While we don't have exact calorie data on any of our formulations, we’d estimate that a seven capsule dose of Qualia Mind may have about 20-24 calories.
When we formulated the Qualia Nootropic Energy we assumed regular Qualia Mind users would want to occasionally have a Qualia Nootropic Energy. So we designed them to be able to be used together on the days when you want an extra boost. However, when it comes to daily use we think of these products as being more in the either/or category. In other words, for daily use we’d generally recommend either Qualia Nootropic Energy or Qualia Mind, but not both be used.
You don’t need to wait until you have your first food of the day to take Qualia Mind. It’s fine to take Qualia Mind early in the day during your intermittent fasting window without food. It’s also okay to wait and take it when you eat your first food, as long as having caffeine at that time of the day does not interfere with your sleep.*
Qualia Mind has an expiration date on the bottle, usually on the bottom of the bottle under the lot number. Look for EXP and a number, such as EXP 04/2023, which means the expiration date for the bottle would be the end of April in 2023.
The supplement industry is indeed the “Wild West” and there are a lot of snake oil salesmen out there with false claims and no ethical standards. Part of what inspired the creation of Neurohacker Collective was in response to this exact problem.
