We recommend Qualia Vision be taken with a meal, because it contains several different fat-soluble nutrients: fat-soluble compounds are more bioavailable when consumed with dietary fat. Lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin—all three are found in Lutemax® 2020—and AstaPure® astaxanthin is fat-soluble carotenoids.
Saffron stigma extract and Goji fruit juice extract also contain fat-soluble carotenoids. Ginger contains fat-soluble compounds that give its characteristic pungent flavor. These ingredients would be expected to be more bioavailable if consumed with or near the end of a meal or snack that contains some fat.
If it is much more convenient for you to take Qualia Vision without food, we don’t think the bioavailability advantage should outweigh the convenience and would encourage you to take it in the way that would be easiest for you to fit into your schedule.
Yes! In fact, we consider it to be a great complement to products like Qualia Mind, Qualia Nootropic Energy Shot, Qualia Life, and Qualia Night.
