These results are all significantly better than the findings of Qualia Mind’s study, though Qualia Mind looked at a much shorter window of time than Mind Lab Pro, so it’s hard to directly compare them. Nootropics aren’t convenient supplements, often requiring you to take a handful of pills a day. Qualia Mind isn’t very convenient even for a nootropic: there are seven moderately-sized capsules in every serving, and taking three or four mouthfuls of pills to get the full effect of the nootropic is a pain. Qualia Mind also recommends that you cycle their nootropic, taking it for five days and skipping it for two days every week to ensure you don’t end up reliant on it for basic functioning. This is a great safety measure but but becomes more complicated when you’re trying to remember if you’re at day four or day five in your weekly cycle, or if you have a particularly long work week and need a boost to get through it and your weekend.

However, because nootropic supplements don’t have the same dosage consistency, clinical trials, or oversight as prescription medications, they have a higher potential to be dangerous with ingredients like huperzine A. Having too much acetylcholine accumulate (called cholinergic toxicity) can cause a plethora of unpleasant symptoms, including: 44

Metaphysics Research Lab, Stanford University. There’s one other ingredient in Qualia Mind that affects acetylcholine: huperzine A. Huperzia serrata, or Chinese club moss, produces one of the most potent compounds in Qualia Mind’s formula. Discovered in the 1980s, huperzine A limits the amount of acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, meaning that you’ll get more acetylcholine in your brain for longer. It’s potent, and the general consensus among researchers is that it’s fairly safe when used correctly. Increased acetylcholine levels have a direct effect on your learning and memory, and studies consistently show that huperzine A has both antiepileptic and neuroprotective effects on top of that. 42 It’s also being studied as a potential Alzheimer’s medication. 43This nootropic is more transparent about its formula than others. Only some nootropic manufacturers are willing to share their full ingredient list or dosage instead of hiding behind proprietary blends (which group ingredients under a shared dose). Even fewer have thought through the problem of the blood-brain barrier, ensuring that everything you take gets where it needs to go. 4

Alpha-glycerophosphocholine, also known as alpha-GPC, is a kind of choline that’s commonly used in nootropics because it’s thought to cross the blood-brain barrier more than other forms of choline. However, there’s very little research that supports its use as a cognitive enhancer. Qualia Mind advertises Celastrus paniculatus seed extract as their crown jewel. Sometimes known as the intellect tree or “the elixir of life,” it is a rare ingredient in nootropics with a lot of hype. It supposedly has a huge range of pharmacological activities, from wound healing to mood regulation. 38 In some ways, it seems too good to be true. We don’t know if it is or not yet, as there’s relatively little research on its effects. Most adults need 15mcg or 600IU of vitamin D, though adults above age 70 need slightly more (20mcg or 800IU). 1,000IU is a reasonable dose of vitamin D3 for a vast majority of people. Pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium (PQQ): 10mg Artificial intelligence researcher Marvin Minsky thinks the problems posed by qualia are essentially issues of complexity, or rather of mistaking complexity for simplicity.Qualia Mind contains three ingredients you might also find in a cafe mocha without the sugar: theobromine, caffeine, and whole coffee bean extract. These three ingredients are alkaloids (have a basic pH), and while we know caffeine is a potent nootropic, theobromine and coffee extract can play a role in your neurology too. Alter, Torin.

This company exclusively produces nootropic supplements in six different formulas: Joseph Levine's paper Conceivability, Identity, and the Explanatory Gap takes up where the criticisms of conceivability arguments (such as the inverted spectrum argument and the zombie argument) leave off. Levine agrees that conceivability is a flawed means of establishing metaphysical realities, but points out that even if we come to the metaphysical conclusion that qualia are physical, there is still an explanatory problem.
