Find Your Starting Point

As seen in

YOUR BRAIN ISN'T BROKEN. IT'S IN TRANSITION.

You didn’t get this far by accident. You out-thought, out-organised, and out-prepared. But now something feels off. The symptoms are real. The impact is real.

And the part of you that built your career, that carries the mental load, that was your edge, feels increasingly out of reach.

Your brain hasn’t let you down. It just needs support. Ārepa is designed for women whose brains are still doing the heavy lifting and aren’t ready to step back.

See what's in it →

Two capsules. Your daily routine. Real cognitive support.

Ārepa Brain Capsules are formulated by neuroscientists and built around Neuroberry⁺® — a New Zealand–grown blackcurrant cultivar with peer-reviewed cognitive research behind it. Two formulas, two roles. Both designed to support your brain through one of the most demanding seasons it will ever go through.

FOR COGNITIVE SUPPORT

For the brain that built your career.

Daily capsules to support normal mental performance, focus and clarity. Formulated to help women maintain sharp thinking through every stage of the perimenopause transition.

  • Supports normal mental performance & focus
  • Formulated to support normal energy levels and reduce feelings of tiredness
  • Complementary to HRT · Caffeine-free
  • Daily use · Vegan capsules

Neuroberry⁺® · L-theanine · Pine bark

For Sleep Support

For the 3am wake-ups that don't make sense.

Daily capsule designed to support a calmer wind-down and help maintain a healthy sleep routine. For women who want to support their body's natural evening rhythm.

  • Supports a calmer wind-down
  • Helps maintain healthy sleep routine
  • Contributes to next-day mental clarity
  • Non-habit-forming · No morning grogginess

Saffron Extract · L-theanine · Magnesium

Pick the sentence that sounds most like your last week.

"I can't think straight by 2pm — and I have a job to do."

"I'm waking up at 3am and never going back to proper sleep."

"Honestly? My days and my nights are both a mess."

→ Add Brain × Gut Powder

You're not imagining it. You're not "too young." And you're definitely not alone.

This is what women are actually saying about what's happening to their brains right now:

"The lights are on, but I'm not sure I'm actually home."

"I'm moving through life perpetually confused and in a haze."

"I can't lose my job because I can't think straight."

"I forgot a colleague's name in a meeting I was running."

If any of those felt like a memory rather than a quote, keep reading.

The science practitioners don't have time for.

Built in partnership with neuroscientists and informed by published research

Neuroberry⁺® Extract

A proprietary NZ blackcurrant cultivar grown in high-UV climate. Naturally rich in anthocyanins. Investigated in peer-reviewed research in relation to cognitive performance and mental clarity. Brain Capsules - 500mg per dose

Pine Bark Extract

Polyphenol-rich extract used in our Cognitive formula, traditionally associated with supporting circulatory and cognitive wellbeing. Brain Capsules - 300mg per dose

L-theanine

An amino acid found in green tea, traditionally associated with calm focus. Daytime use supports focus; nighttime supports wind-down. Brain & Sleep Capsules - 200mg per dose

Magnesium

Supports normal psychological function and nervous system function. One of the most widely researched minerals in human nutrition. Sleep Capsules - 200mg (elemental) per dose.

We've Been Listening

The patterns we hear from women all the time:

"I feel like I'm losing my mind and my GP told me I'm too young."

You're not. Changes in focus, mental sharpness and clarity are among the most commonly reported experiences through the perimenopause transition, and they often begin well before 50.

Ārepa Capsules:
Are designed to support normal mental performance daily, while you advocate for yourself everywhere else.

"I can't take HRT, what are my options?"

Many women can't or choose not to take hormonal treatment. Daily brain health support is available to every woman, regardless of the path she's on.

Ārepa Capsules:
Are food-based, non-hormonal, and formulated to support normal cognitive function and sleep through any season of life.

"I'm forgetting words mid-sentence at work."

It's one of the most commonly shared experiences during this time of life, and one of the most under-acknowledged. You're not imagining it, and you're not alone.

Ārepa Capsules:
Support normal mental performance and focus daily, so you can show up as yourself, every day.

"I'm waiting on HRT, and meanwhile my brain is melting."

Hormone treatment can take weeks to titrate and months to settle. Daily cognitive support doesn't have to wait for anything.

Ārepa Capsules:
Are food-based and non-hormonal. Complementary to HRT or suitable for women exploring non-hormonal options.

TRUST YOUR GUT

Optional add-on · For when your gut feels like part of the story too.

The gut–brain axis is one of the most underrated parts of everyday cognitive wellbeing. Brain × Gut Powder is our optional daily add-on: a light, mildly berry powder formulated with prebiotics and Neuroberry⁺® to support the gut–brain connection.

Designed to support the gut–brain axis · Helps maintain normal digestive function · Bimuno® GOS prebiotic · Caffeine-free · Vegan

Customer photo review of The Brain x Energy Powder⁺

I’ve been really happy with my trial of Ārepa products! After trialing a week of drinking the bottled drinks I was convinced my brain fog was lifting somewhat. Decided to order the Brain and Energy powder to try as I live with chronic fatigue and need support with both those things. I’d say between the bottled drinks and the powder, I’ve been trialling them for about 3 weeks and have noticed a significant shift in my cognitive ability and energy. I’ve been more able to focus on work tasks and have had more energy throughout the day overall. This is a massive shift considering I’ve been living with heavy brain fog most days. One thing I will say though is that the powder is a bit of an acquired taste! I’ve been mixing it with sparkling water to try and recreate the bottled drinks. I may switch to the capsules but will see if I get used to this way of consuming the product. I cannot 100% say that these shifts have happened due to this alone as I have also been taking other supplements. But I have noticed a significant shift in the last few weeks so will definitely continue on with this brand.

Absolutely love Ārepa Brain and Gut powder on my cereal and yoghurt every morning. It adds amazing flavour and the health benefits set me up for a busy day teaching. I have energy for a run in the evening and have found I’m sleeping better after a busy day.

Amazing product, I usually take it mid morning and I’ve absolutely noticed a difference in my focus, I don’t hit a wall mid afternoon any more. Love the taste, I just mix it with water only and it has become a part of my daily routine.

It has a tasty and light flavor. I personally enjoy mixing it with milk, sonetimes adding ice cubes, for more a smoothy texture. I find that it keeps me at a steady level throughout the day and less easily agitated. Definitely recommend.

Customer photo review of The Brain Capsules for Cognitive Support

I just gave this product 4 stars because taking 2 capsules was too much for me. It made my brain feel overly chatty and active, and I had trouble falling asleep. However, when I took just 1 capsule, it worked really well. It helped my brain function better, improved my focus, and gave me the benefits I was looking for without affecting my sleep.

A great addition to my 2 Aprea brain capsules that I take for my busy 12 hour shifts at work. Really delicious and refreshing. Its a good thirst quenching, pick me up, thats full of natural goodness for my gut and brain. Just what my body needs to help it function better during complex long shifts at work.

Since going ‘alcohol free’ I’m always on the lookout for tasty, ‘little bit special’ alternatives for ‘drinks o’clock’. These drinks tick those boxes. A few bubbles mixed with delicious goodness makes me happy.

Customer photo review of SALE - 12x Performance (300ml Bottle)

I started using it as a replacement for coffee when I needed a treat. I loved the flavor so I kept having it here and there. My doctor recommended using Pine Bark extract as a suplement for ADHD, so I was surprised to find out that Arepa Performance has it in its ingredients. Since it can be quite expensive to buy on retail stores I decided to buy some boxes during their middle year discount, which left them at a very good price. ♥️

I usually take the brain capsules in the morning to get the mental performance I need. Later in the afternoon I take either the brain shot or the sofa to give myself a boost. The sleep tablets provide a good night of sleep so I awake refreshed for a new day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brain fog can have many causes, and Ārepa isn't a treatment or cure for any medical condition. What our Brain Capsules for Cognitive Support are designed to do is support your brain's daily performance — focus, mental stamina, and clarity — using a neuroscientist-formulated blend of Neuroberry® Blackcurrant, L-theanine, and Pine Bark Extract (Enzogenol®). Many of our customers find that consistent daily use helps them feel sharper and more on. As with any supplement, results vary depending on your individual physiology, sleep, diet, and lifestyle. If you have ongoing concerns about cognitive function, we recommend speaking with your healthcare professional. Always read the label and use as directed. Vitamins and mineral supplements should not replace a balanced diet.

Our Brain Capsules contain naturally derived ingredients. Ārepa is not known to interact with HRT, however because our ingredients are bioactive, we always recommend checking with your GP or healthcare professional before combining any supplement with prescription or hormone-based medications. They'll be best placed to advise based on your personal health profile. Always read the label and use only as directed.

Yes, absolutely. Ārepa was designed for anyone who wants to support their brain health, HRT or no HRT. Our Cognitive Support Capsules contain research-backed ingredients to support focus, mood, and mental stamina as part of your daily routine. Our Sleep Support Capsules are designed to help support a calmer wind-down and more restful sleep. Both products are for anyone looking to support their brain from the inside out. Always read the label and use as directed. Vitamins and minerals are supplementary to and not a replacement for a balanced diet.

Everyone's different, and how quickly you notice a difference depends on factors like your existing physiology, sleep habits, diet, and exercise. For the Cognitive Capsules, some people report feeling a difference within the first use; for others it builds over time with consistent daily use. For the Sleep Capsules, many people notice calmer evenings within 1–2 weeks of nightly use, with the best results typically seen after 4 weeks of consistent use. Clinical data from our ingredients suggests meaningful sleep-quality improvements stacking up over 3–4 weeks. We recommend giving your brain a full 30-night cycle before drawing conclusions — neurons love routine.

No. Ārepa Brain Capsules are 100% natural and completely caffeine-free. Our formula contains no stimulants. The Cognitive Capsules use L-theanine — an amino acid naturally found in green tea — which is associated with supporting calm, focused mental states without the jitteriness of caffeine. The Sleep Capsules are specifically formulated to support a natural wind-down and restful night. Always read the label and use as directed.

Our Sleep Capsules are melatonin-free and formulated with ingredients shown in clinical research to support sleep quality without next-day sedation. Rather than overriding your body's sleep systems (as melatonin can for some people), our blend of L-theanine, Magnesium Bisglycinate, and Affron® Saffron is designed to support your body's natural sleep rhythms — helping you wind down at night and wake feeling clear-headed. Think of them as a sleep sidekick, not a knockout punch. Individual responses may vary. Always read the label and use only as directed.

It depends on what your brain needs most right now:

  • If daytime focus, mental clarity, and stamina are your priority, start with the Brain Capsules for Cognitive Support. Take 2 capsules with water, about 1 hour before you need to perform.
  • If winding down at night and getting more restful sleep is your goal, start with the Brain Capsules for Sleep Support. Take 2 capsules 30–60 minutes before bed as part of your evening wind-down routine.
  • Many people use both — the Sleep Capsules at night and the Cognitive Capsules during the day — as a complementary brain support routine.

Not sure? Visit our Find Your Match page for a personalised recommendation. Always read the label and use as directed.

You don't need it — the Brain Capsules work as standalone products. That said, the Brain × Gut Powder is formulated to support the gut-brain connection, and many of our customers pair it with the capsules as part of a broader brain health routine. The right combination really depends on your personal health goals. If you're new to Ārepa, we'd suggest starting with the capsule that addresses your most pressing need, then building from there. Always read the label and use as directed. Vitamins and minerals are supplementary to and not a replacement for a balanced diet.

Ārepa contains only natural, plant-based ingredients, and our formula is designed to be food-safe. However, because our ingredients are bioactive, we strongly recommend consulting your GP or healthcare professional before taking Ārepa alongside any prescription medication, including antidepressants. They can advise based on your specific medications and health history. Always read the label and use only as directed. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescription medication, please seek advice from a healthcare professional before use.

Generally yes — many of our customers take Ārepa alongside other common supplements. A couple of things worth noting:

  • The Sleep Capsules already contain 200mg of elemental magnesium per serve (as Magnesium Bisglycinate). If you're also taking a separate magnesium supplement, be mindful of your total daily magnesium intake and check with your healthcare professional if unsure.
  • Fish oil and creatine are not known to interact with Ārepa's ingredients.
  • Our Brain × Energy Powder also contains 3g of creatine monohydrate per serve, so factor that in if you're already supplementing creatine separately.

As always, if you have specific health concerns or are taking multiple supplements, we recommend checking in with your GP or healthcare professional. Always read the label and use as directed..
