Methods

In April-May 2019, an unflavored and unsweetened 5-day sample of Qualia Mind Energy Shot was sent to members of our beta tester community. Participants were selected to include a mix of people who were and were not currently taking a Qualia product (e.g., Qualia Mind; Qualia Focus). Instructions were to take 1 packet of powder mixed with water or a beverage of their choice before noon for 5 consecutive days. The subgroup of participants that were current users of a Qualia product were asked to refrain from taking that product while taking these samples. Participants were asked to complete a survey questionnaire after 5 days of taking the samples. Sixty-nine persons completed the 5 days of supplementation and provided responses to the survey.

While Neurohacker Collective is encouraged by the results of this small preliminary study, further controlled, larger studies will be required to verify the findings.
