The journey of creating something from nature’s goodness to improve mental clarity.

An all-inspiring chat with Angus Brown, Co-founder of Arepa, a New Zealand-based startup best known for its performance-enhancing drink, along with capsules and powders derived from similar ingredients. They fall under the emerging category of “nootropics”, or supplements and substances that claim to improve cognitive function. 

These guys really stand out with their innovative use of plant-based ingredients native to New Zealand. And in Brown’s words, it’s: “to make brains work better”.
