 It's Alex here from alexfugus.com and today I'm going to take qualia mind The new formula from the neurohocca collective. I've got the caffeine free one I'm gonna take this for the very first time and document my first impressions and any reactions or noticeable improvements that this highly regarded Neutropic supplement brain supplement is known for so you may have seen my other video on the original qualia where I did The same thing I talked with those and I reported any review hours with how I was feeling And then I did a big review on this this time around what I'm going to do is this first video Which is just going to be my first impressions and then later on after a month. I'm going to do a full review Look at the comparisons between the qualia mind products and the original one why they changed it Formula differences, etc. And now I'm actually doing a big experiment Where I'm doing some cognitive testing. I've been doing that the last few weeks To get a baseline of memory, you know memory recall Just all round cognitive ability. That's our independent lab and they're gonna take this for the full term That's like three or four weeks and I'm gonna redo those tests to see if it actually does Do what it's claimed to do and that's improve brain function cognitive function Help with or help fight procrastination apparently just help you get things done So anyway, stay tuned for that be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel channel to see that video And hit over to Alex face calm because that's where I'll be posting the blog and the full update on all that So anyway, let's um, let's take this. I Don't know why supplements containers are always so hard to get into anyway Um, so this new formula one of the best main differences with the original formula is there's only one bottle now There's only one supplement. So the other the original qualia had step one and step two So you have take step one on an empty stomach and then an hour or two later You had a meal and then you take step two and of course what happened is a lot of people take step one And then forgot to take step two In fact, a lot of people asked if you just buy a step one again because now we're going through that so much faster than step two So well, I probably have done all the neurohacker collective have done it as is combined at all into one one One step one product, which is great the downside though is you still have to take a lot of tablets Our recommended dosage is seven sizes seven capsules. So it's a lot of capsules and then on the Serving or suggested use it says take seven capsules with water first thing in the morning So I've just got up so that I'm doing that before eating if stomach upset occurs take the breakfast instead Optimal dosage can vary based on body weight and sensitivity don't take more than 10 at once or 12 total in a day So I'm just going to go with seven and see how I feel so one two three four five six seven All right, wish me luck Report back soon They kind of they kind of smell like fishy. There's DHA in it. This is from L. We're not for sure They don't smell like that just when you put in your mouth you get that like Weird fishy taste not too pleasant. You know, I'll report back in so All right, so it's been about an hour and a half since I first took those seven a qualia mine supplements I've just been out doing a few farm and garden chores With my little boy strapped to me here. He's a fast asleep So feedback from the air and a half. I know with the first cut qualia like two years ago Like I was pretty feeling a bit weird at this point I don't feel like that on the quality of mind I don't know if I mentioned but this is the caffeine free version I just been going low caffeine for the past six months or so So I figured there's no point using the full caffeine version because You know that is gonna give me a bit of a buzz so I wanted to rule out that variable So anyway, yeah feeling pretty normal pretty good a few Feedback few bits of feedback one. Um, I Definitely think that DHA in it. The algae is Rancid because I I burped up that horrible Oxidized fish oil smell a few times which was very unpleasant and also a little bit concerning because I have written extensively about the risks of Oxidized buffers polyunsaturated fatty acids. You can Google Alex Fergus buffers PU FA to read that article So that is a little bit concerning because I don't want to be supplementing with something that could be Inflammatory to the body. So I'm actually gonna contact qualia about that. So, um, maybe it's a bad batch I haven't heard any other feedback Around that but anyway, I'll try to keep you updated on that second thing is I did feel a bit of a warming sensation But I just recalled that there is nice and in here 50 milligrams. So it could have been from that. I'm not too sure. I have just finished the nice and Detox and free protocol. We were doing a write-up. I like speakers.com to check that out. So we're else taking like Five, six, maybe more grams of that a day. So I'd like to think 50 milligrams is not causing that But anyway, just just give my feedback. Um, as I'm reading this I feel a little bit better with word recall with a few of those words there, but hey, it's so early and I haven't really been doing anything Brain taxing I guess I'm gonna start that very soon I'm just gonna have some food and then I'll get into my day on the computer researching and writing articles That'll be the true test actually. No, the true test will be in three four weeks We're not after I've been taking this for the whole duration and then I do the follow-up cognitive test They'll be the true test. This is just a bit of a, you know, first impressions sort of clip So, you know, I'll report back in a few hours. Hey, so it's now three o'clock in the afternoon It's been, well, six, seven hours since I took a quality of mind. I Wanted to give you another update probably my final update. Um, So one thing that happened when I took the original qualia if you've seen that video I had a wall like mid-afternoon to three o'clock like really bad just got really drowsy and stuff And for those that have been following my work for a while You'll know I'm quite passionate about sleep and I had some issues with Adrenal fatigue. I don't like that term, but you know, I was pretty ruined Many years ago and I have changed a lot of my life to overcome that and prioritize my sleep Was one of the biggest remedies and that brings true today So I guess what I'm saying is I sleep well and I have good energy most of them 99% of the time saying I am a new dad So it's dropped off a little bit. But anyway, and for those that have seen my ordering data, you'll know I'm still getting really good sleep. So it was kind of interesting today I actually forgot all about that are hitting the wall issue that happened with the original product So, you know, about half an hour ago 45 minutes ago. I was sort of on my computer and I felt the same thing I was just like, oh, I just felt like a slump just overcome Um, the energy sort of I don't know what the word is, but you know, you just sort of hit a wall and um I haven't felt that for a long time and it's different to that whole like I was up three times last night Um, you know with the crying baby sleep deprivation feel it was just this full body Like I think I'm gonna go have a quick nap. It wasn't as severe as The original qualia and I wonder because I know they'll reformulated it And I wonder if the lack of caffeine has also helped with that crash Um, but still I mean it kind of sucked. So what happened with the original qualia when I spoke to the guys at neurohacker collective about this They told me to cut the doses dose age back And that's what I did and yeah, I I continued to use the product for a while But then they came out with this quality of mine. So I was I actually haven't taken quality for a while I was waiting to do this experiment. Just keep getting pushed back and back and back. So, um, I don't know what I'll do with this. I mean, I'll give it another shot again tomorrow But obviously if I hit that wall again, then I'll have to consider cutting the dosage Which sucks, but anyway, uh, and the other thing is, um, the That visual sort of issue, which is kind of me bothering me the more I think about it. Um, so I've emailed The neurohacker guys qualia qualia is Produced by the neurohacker collective group. So I emailed them about it and I'm waiting to hear back from them. Um, I'm hoping they'll just be like, look, it was a bad batch here. We'll see in your replacement I do have another bottle here. It was the same manufacturer date. So If it was a bad batch chances are this other bottle will so be bad Um, I had a quick search online. Haven't heard or seen anyone else having those issues. So maybe it was just me I don't know. Um, but it does suck and it does consume me a little bit Anyway, uh, I'm going to wrap this video up because it was just meant to be my first impressions And I think you've heard all of them. Be sure to um, subscribe over at alexfurgus.com to my newsletter because when I've done my full review Um, I'll update you on all these points and what happened. Uh, a few quick things Yeah, this was never meant to be a true review or like does it work sort of video It was just going to be my first impressions with the product Um, the true review and the does it work reveal will come and probably Well, we're into my recording. That's the first of april of 2019. So Excuse me. It'll be about may or june after I've had um A full cycle of it and then my follow-up cognitive test and then I've looked at all the science behind the product and uh, she had my feedback So stay tuned. I made 2019 for that full review All right, and the best way is to subscribe to my youtube youtube channel or alexfurgus.com for updates Another thing is if you want to do this experiment, uh, or if you want to try quality of mine, um, go purchase it And uh into code alex alex and I think you get a bit of a discount I get a bit of commission it helps me pay for my camera and It just gives me some cash. So you don't have to do that. But uh, you do get a discount. So anyway do that. Um The other thing I should I should mention is they do have another product I think it's qualia focus, which I haven't used and that's like a lower cost a little bit more basic version of qualia mind. Um Obviously I wanted to try the the big stuff the proper stuff But I I think the qualia focus doesn't have dha, which which is interesting because I'm to be honest I'm not the biggest fan of supplemental dha. I know there's a ton of research behind it, but Yeah, so I am tempted to look at that after qualia mind and even Um, consider taking that myself instead of qualia mind, especially if I keep having these slumps So who knows maybe there'll be a qualia focus review after this qualia qualia mind review If you want to do your own experiment with qualia mind Share your updates below in the comments or email me if you're watching this like one of the first few days I've been posted I've posted it updated it email me because um, I've got a few cognitive assessments with a company called cogneyfit.com And uh, I'd love to get a few more people doing this experiment with me. So you go and do the test Take qualia for a few weeks and then redo the test And I'm happy to uh to hook you up with a few of those assessments. They cost 50 bucks each So you get two of them. So it's 100 bucks. Um, of course, you've got to buy a qualia mind though, so But that's only for the next few days or week even so if you're watching this like in 2020 Um, yeah, don't even bother asking about that. All right. I'm gonna go alexfrigus.com My battery's gonna die anyway. So peace
