Instructions for Qualia Mind
Mind Instructions:
Qualia Mind’s effects are dose-dependent, varying with chemistry, body weight, general sensitivity and desired level of effect. The standard dose for most people is 7 capsules. Take Qualia Mind first thing in the morning, preferably on an empty stomach.
If stomach upset occurs, take with breakfast instead. Optimal dosage can vary based on body weight and sensitivity. Don't take more than 10 capsules at once or more than 12 in a day.
Everyone's chemistry is unique, of course, and some users find that increasing or decreasing the standard dosage is key to optimizing the effects for their individual needs. If the standard dosage does not match your needs, we encourage experimenting and adjusting your dosage in order to find your optimal intake.
Cycling Your Use:
Qualia Mind is designed to be taken 5 days on and 2 days off each week. This maximizes the benefits while preventing desensitization. It does not matter if the “off-cycle” days are consecutive or apart, so long as they happen each week.
For Best Effects:
Qualia Mind was designed to work for those getting adequate sleep, in generally good health, and practicing good self-care. Please read our full medical disclaimer on our website to make sure Qualia is right for you. Good/adequate sleep is the number one issue preventing users from getting the desired effects from Qualia. If you are not getting the results you were expecting, stop taking Qualia and work on getting enough sleep and try Qualia again.
Medical Disclaimer:
You should not take Qualia if you are on any SSRI or MAOI medication, nor is Qualia intended to treat or cure any medical condition. You should consult a physician prior to taking Qualia if you have any questions or concerns regarding Qualia as it relates to your unique medical history and prescribed medications. Please read our full medical disclaimer prior to use.

Is Qualia a scam or snake oil?
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.
Is it okay to split the dose of Qualia Mind between different meals?
Yes. If you want to take several capsules of Qualia Mind with breakfast and several more with lunch that would be fine. But, because Qualia Mind contains caffeine, we don’t recommend taking it with dinner.
Can I take Qualia Mind in addition to Qualia Life?
Is it okay to drink alcohol with Qualia Mind?
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans cautions against mixing alcohol with caffeine. The reason for the caution is that when alcohol is mixed with caffeine, the caffeine can mask the effects of alcohol, making drinkers feel more alert than they would otherwise. The CDC's Alcohol and Caffeine Fact Sheet gives more information on their concerns. Since Qualia Mind contains caffeine, we recommend it not be taken immediately before or at the same time as alcohol is consumed.
How soon will I notice some nootropic benefits from Qualia Mind?
Several ingredients in Qualia Mind—caffeine, L-theanine, velvet bean seed extract, as examples—are fast-acting nootropics.
How much caffeine is in Qualia Mind?
A seven capsule serving size of Qualia Mind contains 90 mg of caffeine (there’s about 13 mg of caffeine per capsule) from an organic Coffeeberry® whole coffee fruit extract. This 90 mg amount of caffeine is found in about an 8 ounce cup of coffee.
