Radio NZ Interview: Why The Benefits of Ārepa are Being Studied by Dementia Experts
As featured on Radio NZ 

A refreshing blackcurrant drink from New Zealand is poised to challenge coffee's dominance as the go-to beverage for concentration and performance. Notably, this innovative drink is also under study for its potential benefits to individuals with dementia.

Ārepa drinks and capsules are scientifically formulated using a combination of blackcurrants and pine bark. In its early stages, the company received support from Callaghan Innovation, allowing extensive research into the bio-active ingredients powering its products. These include Enzogenol, a patented pine bark extract, and the Neuroberry blackcurrant, harnessing the potency of anthocyanins—robust antioxidants.

Excitingly, last year, the company secured a significant supermarket contract in Australia, successfully placing its products on the shelves of both Coles and Woolworths. This achievement further solidifies the market impact and demand for Ārepa's exceptional offerings.
