The latest nootropics beverage offering, Ārepa, has been launched in Australia.

Ārepa’s patented drink formula is made from Neuroberries – a unique variety of blackcurrant – which has exceptional properties underlying its effects as a mood and cognitive enhancer.

Developed by a New Zealand food tech company, the drink has been sold in New Zealand since 2017.

Ārepa said the drink is scientifically proven to keep you feeling calm and thinking clear under moments of pressure and stress. The functional beverages are caffeine free and plant-based to enhance mental clarity.

Clinically studied over the past seven years, with published studies under its belt.

Founder of Ārepa founder Angus Brown says the products have been clinically studied over the past seven years.

“Our number one focus is that our brain drinks deliver a noticeable and positive felt-effect of mental clarity that is backed up with world-leading neuroscience,” Brown said.

Designed to remove ‘brain fog’ and support neurological function, consumers are advised to drink Ārepa in full, 20 minutes before an important moment or task.

Ārepa‘s 300ml bottles of Performance (RRP:$6.99) & Lite + Sparkling (RRP:$5.99) are available from the chilled beverage aisle in the top 200 Coles stores across Australia.

The ACCC has instituted court proceedings against Clorox Australia, owner of GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags, over alleged false claims that bags were partly made of recycled 'ocean plastic'.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
