Queal Flow – How often?

[christofkaelin]

I just purchased Queal Flow for the first time and I am eager to try it.
I have to go to Uni on Monday/Tuesday afternoon and evening, so I think adding in some Queal Flow on Monday and Tuesday makes total sense. For the rest of the week I work. On these days I don't think it's necessary to use it. By using Queal Flow twice a week, it would last for around 15 weeks.

But is twice a week enough? Would I still profit from the long term benefits as show here: https://queal.com/boost-introduction/?
How often do you guys mix Queal Flow to your meal?

Great questions @christofkaelin !

I see we didn't redirect our old Boost blog to the new page, but you can find that introduction here:

Flow nootropic supplement - focus better | Queal

Your schedule makes sense and I think this is a great way of using Flow.

With regards to the long-term effects, I can't say for certain that with a low dose (2x per week) that the same effects hold. For instance a study with CPD-Choline administered it 1x per day (at 500 and 250mg, and placebo). http://file.scirp.org/pdf/FNS20120600007_87495447.pdf

But most effects are more immediate/short-term (e.g. like feeling energized after drinking a cup of coffee).

For me personally, I use it every workday

Thank you very much for your reply @Floris_Queal

Your information is indeed helpful to me. I might use Flow a third time a week as well (especially Friday, when )

For me personally, I use it every workday

If you add Flow every day, doesn't your body get used to it? Compare it to coffee: If you have a cup every day, you get used to the amount of caffeine. This leads up to needing more and more cups of coffee for the effects to kick in?

[Floris_Queal]

Yes and no. It's true that caffeine (part of Guarana) prompts your body to make more adenosine and increases the number of receptors for adenosine in your body, the level of caffeine is that of one single cup of coffee (87,5mg). Most general advise argues that up to 400mg is 'safe', but it's very hard to pinpoint the exact level of habituation/tolerance.

If you're already drinking coffee, I would replace one of them to stick to the same level of caffeine.

Sorry, I'm jumping into your thread!
And is it possible to add Flow in a Ready porridge bowl? Will the boiling water destroy some of the Flow active ingredients?

Thank you for the information.

[Floris_Queal]

No problem @Raymondcal, and nice profile pic

You can best add it to Ready after you've added the boiling water (say 10sec later), this makes sure that it's below 80C and then you should be alright.

Experiment a bit.
Personally, I've never noticed a difference. Maybe my tolerance is quite high although I never drink caffeine.

Except that one time I drank ~475mg of caffeine of it But at that point Flow is way too expensive.

I've had the same experience as @Slapfish - I'm just finishing my first container of Flow and I haven't noticed any effects at all. I was quite excited at first, thinking it would give me a noticeable burst of... what? Energy? Creativity? Zest? I don't know. But I'm glad I tried it, because until you do you'll never know. And if someone says it gives them the boost they need, great for them. Everyone is different.
