What should I do if I'm feeling heightened emotions and/or energy?
As you get started with Qualia you will feel more energy, motivation and drive but may also experience other feelings around your emotions.
Feeling less emotional?
Are you less emotional, as in numb and disassociated, or are you just more grounded, clear-minded and non-reactive?
If you’re simply experiencing less angst and anxiousness, that's great.
If you really feel numb or muted, discontinue use. This might not be the right formulation for you.
Feeling more emotional?
Are you feeling more emotional in a balanced and grounded way; feeling emotions more clearly or powerfully? If so, that's great.
If you’re feeling emotionally unbalanced in a negative or overwhelming way, discontinue use. This may not be the right formulation for you.
Feeling irritable?
You might feel edgy if the dose is too high. Try again at a lower dose.
Feeling over-energized?
The dose may be too high for you. We suggest taking a day off then trying again with a lower dose.
Feeling tired or fatigued?
Feeling some fatigue when first starting is sometimes experienced by a small percentage of users. The brain uses glucose-energy faster than muscles do, so when someone is really up-regulating their cognitive utilization (as you are when taking Qualia), just like when someone starts working out a lot, they can feel tired and need more rest and repair time.
For many, this fatigue abates as their bodies adjust within a week or 2. If it does not, and you find that this current formulation isn't the right match for your chemistry, let us know and we'll be happy to issue a refund.
Get good sleep. Eat well. Move your body. If you’re fading early in your productive workday, you can try a small secondary booster dose on an empty stomach. Also, make sure you are being realistic about how much you should actually be able to accomplish in one day.
More Frequently Asked Questions
Can Qualia be used by those who have neuro-degenerative conditions?
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.
What should I do if I get an upset stomach or nausea?
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.
What should I do if I experience increased heart rate or flushing
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.
Does Qualia cause lucid dreaming?
Is it OK to drink alcohol with Qualia?
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.
What should I do if I experience body soreness, tightness, or aches?
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.
Why don't I feel any effects from Qualia?
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.
Can Qualia increase anxiety?
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.
Can I take Qualia if I'm using CBD Oil?
While Qualia is generally well tolerated by those using CBD oil, consult with your physician to make sure the specific medical condition for which you are taking CBD oil does not contradict with any ingredients in Qualia.
What should I do if I'm feeling spacey or trippy?
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.
