Professor of Human Psychopharmacology, Andrew Scholey (PhD, CPsychol AFBPsS) has spent over 3 decades researching the ways in which drugs, food, alcohol and nutritional supplements influence the brain and behaviour. He's led over 100 clinical studies and published more than 300 peer-reviewed journal articles which have been cited over 13,000 times, making him a leading authority on the neurocognitive effects of nutrition. Andrew joined the team at Ārepa in the early days of conception as our Chief Science Officer, creating our first patented Brain Drink⁺ formulation, and multiple successful clinical trials.
With over 7 years of research and development, our patented formula utilises plant-based ingredients with robust scientific evidence, ensuring their safety and efficacy on human brain function.
Ārepa is made from nature. We choose plant-based ingredients as they are safe and sustainable with zero artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners, or preservatives.
We operate at the nexus between nature, neuroscience and food-technology. Continuous research and ongoing improvement are at the core of our company.
Neuroberry®⁺ is a specific grade of blackcurrant that we source from the best farms around the world. We test them for a proprietary balance of three key components that supercharge this berry to make it your brain's ally⁺.
The intention of the information on this page is to indicate the research that we have undertaken to date. We will continue to add these research updates to our scientific dossier. It does not suggest or imply that Ārepa, or any specific ingredient in our products, have certain health or therapeutic benefits.
