Supporting brain health: Ārepa
The World Health Organisation has stated that one in six of the world’s population suffers from neurological concerns, and with the demand on the human brain growing exponentially, the need to support that demand is huge.
A decade ago, friends Angus Brown and Zac Robinson, and world-renowned neuroscientist, Professor Andrew Scholey, worked to develop a range of clinically proven, 100% natural products to support brain health.
Today, Ārepa is now available at more than 1200 Australian retailers, and more than 1400 New Zealand outlets.
Angus says the brand’s mission is to improve brain health. Part of that is educating people about moving away from caffeinated energy drinks.
“Energy drinks pose a major health risk to our population as a whole, both physically and mentally,” he says.
In May the company launched a purple cans range, composed of the same science-backed blackcurrant brain drink and benefits found in its bottled products. We can offer a healthier alternative in a familiar format, which will encourage more people to choose brain health over caffeine and sugar,” adds Angus.
Recently, Ārepa raised $3.2million in funds, and with high profile investors, such as NBA star Steven Adams, the funds will help accelerate global expansion and further the company’s clinical studies, says Angus.
