Thrive Under Stress

Why did Neurohacker Collective Develop a Stress Relief Formula?

Stress is like kryptonite for the brain. Research shows that high ongoing stress slows neurogenesis and synaptogenesis, impairing mental performance (focus, clarity, executive function, memory, task shifting), impulse control, emotional regulation, decision making, and even empathy.

Addressing stress and temporary anxiety with a complex science approach wasn’t easy; the development has taken years. 

Our scientific team circled around one primary question: What if you could become more biologically capable of withstanding significant stress in your day? After extensively researching the mechanisms underlying stress and mental overwhelm, and after evaluating the scientific studies on more than 90 ingredients, we fell in love with a fascinating class of dietary ingredients called neuro-adaptogens.  

Neuro-adaptogens support adaptation to stress, , optimal adrenal function, healthy cortisol response, vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system balance, and additional neuroregulatory pathways involved in helping you become more resilient to stress.*

Our formulators then factored in complementary nootropic ingredients that could balance stress management with support for peak mental performance, resulting in a confident, poised and focused mindset that can help get stuff done.*

Our main developmental goals included:

• Promote stress reduction*

• Quiet mental overwhelm*

• Support mental clarity in stressful situations*

• Promote a positive & centered mood*

• Promote faster recovery from stress*

Key insights into our formula:

• "Neuro-adaptogen”* (i.e., a formula for helping the body cope with stress while having nootropic benefits) ingredients were selected to support adaptation to stress, a healthy cortisol response, adrenal function (and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis), antioxidant defenses, vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system function, and other molecules and pathways involved with helping us be more resilient to stress.* 

• Unlike other stress products that may dull the mind, this neuro adaptogen formula provides powerful nootropic benefits that support peak mental performance under stressful conditions.* 

• The combination of Qualia Resilience at the start of the day, and Qualia Night at dinner can provide all-day and evening support for persons who are under a great deal of stress, and desire even more support for stress and calmer mood.*

After years of research and development, we are proud to bring you Qualia Resilience: fuel to help you feel calm and clear under stress.*
