Lee B. reviewed Qualia Mind Energy Shot

Why is this a review, not beta feedback?

I’m really disillusioned by this feedback form. If all you wanted were positive reviews, then describe this as an early adopter program, not a beta test project. I thought I was doing this to contribute to product development, but it appears not. I feel misled. 1) this wasn’t a good product for me because I’m highly reactive to caffeine. The beta request did not say “caffeine” anywhere. It said nootropic. This seems little different than a 5-hour-energy shot. 2) the taste is horrible, like liquid tar. Is there some placebo psych going on here, like if it tastes bad, it must be powerful? Why not add some lo-han? 3) I had to micro-dose this vs using a full bottle. The effect for me was no different than taking 1/8 can of diet coke. 4) I crashed at night, and my brain shut down 2 hours earlier than normal. This is not a trade-off I’m willing to make, generally. 5) This might be great for someone with a resilient adrenal system, but didn’t work for me. I’d also submit that since anyone who can tolerate caffeine is already using it, why not make a chewable or gummy someone can consume along with their preferred amount of caffeine, vs the incredible waste , weight and cost of plastic bottles? This is very Not Green as a product. But if I could have the non-caffeine active ingredients in a pill I could have with my cup of green tea, we might be talking about something.
