Nootropics: The Intelligence & Design Behind Qualia Formulation

Qualia nootropics were designed to promote a sustained improvement across the whole pallet of objective capacities and subjective states that contribute to optimized, creative, productive flow states, including:

  • Memory
  • Focus
  • Fluid Intelligence
  • Thinking Effectiveness
  • Emotional State

Human capabilities and subjective experiences—including flow state—are mediated by biological processes in our brain and physiology. Many nootropics are focused on only optimizing neurochemistry for short-term effects. At Qualia, we’re interested in going several steps further.

While delivering immediate short-term effects, we take a longer-term approach and support cognitive health benefits, including neuron and synapse development, mitochondrial fitness, cell structure integrity, and neural complexity.

To do so, we took into account:

  • Neurochemistry
  • Neural Structure and Function
  • Systems Support

We mapped all of the physiological pathways and process known to correlate to such states. We then explored the complex interactions between these pathways to better understand the meta-regulatory system as a whole. Finally, we mapped all the nutrients and biochemical interventions known to positively and sustainably enhance any (and every) aspect of that metasystem, factoring for synergies between those nutrients and chemicals. The result is our Qualia nootropic product line.

What does the Prop 65 warning mean?

You may have seen the following warning associated with our products, as well as on other products purchased from other manufacturers:

WARNING: Reproductive Harm – www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

This warning is the result of a law passed in California in 1986, referred to as the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, or more generally referred to as "Proposition 65."

How is Qualia different in its approach to science and product development?

Because of the complexity and importance of human neurology, we have taken a whole systems approach that takes into consideration end to end pathways, multiple pathways, and the complicated interactions of many different supplements with one another, and applies a variety of ethical principles that are sorely needed in this space.
