Rose Y. reviewed Qualia Mind Essentials
At a little over 12lbs, I found I needed to reduce my dosage from 5 to 3 capsules a day. Also, if you are sensitive to caffeine or metabolize it slowly, avoid taking this too late in the morning as it may disrupt your sleep. Taking 5 capsules first thing in the morning definitely kept my focus high but I also had trouble staying asleep at night. Three capsules worked better for me including taking a two day break after 5 days on.
Good focus but may disrupt sleep - adjust dosage accordingly

It took me a few days to find the best dosing for myself. I started on a Monday as I have more of a routine M-F. The first day I took 5 capsules in the morning on an empty stomach. I didn’t drink any additional caffeine that day as it is not always a part of my diet so it was truly the only thing besides water consumed for the first hour after waking. I developed a little stomach nausea so had to eat some starches to soothe the wooziness. I also worked most of the day lying down because the entire nausea took a while to subside. The next day I ate and then took the five capsules but still felt a bit nauseous so decided the next day to eat fruit then take 3 capsules followed by the remaining two capsules 3 hours later with food again. This not only mitigate the nausea but also kicked started my own acknowledgment of the benefits. The hurdle to begin large tasks at work was minimized, the desire to break for distractions was not as apparent, and it was easier to stick with completing one task before moving on to another. This is huge for me because I normally jump around task to task because the amount of work for each subconsciously intimidates me and I resist sticking to one thing for extended periods at a time. I took two days off, Saturday and Sunday, and am looking forward to seeing if these benefits are sustained. I will say focus is the main benefit here while I didn’t experience any additional energy or stimulating effects. Which was nice to not feel like I was “on” anything, simply more willing to dedicate time to tasks and made them feel in a way more approachable.
Approachable focalization

It gives me a feeling of added alertness within 30 minutes of taking the product. Not a buzzy type of high, or anything like that, but more a a controlled alertness.
So far so good!

very easy on the stomach. at first thought taking 5 pills at a time seemed like it would be a bit much. I was wrong. there weren't any jitters or nervousness like I had expected. I did not have any trouble staying focused and on task so I would definitely say that this product works for it's intended purpose extremely well
high marks for qualia focus
