6. Tell us about your new product!
It all started with Fran sending me a link to Arepa and their new nootropic formula. We wanted a product that worked on brain function, nervous system, adrenal glands and energy but made specially for mums. I’m a big fan of mushrooms and have always wanted to use them in a formula, cordyceps are perfect for endurance, so it was always going in there. Motherhood is an endurance test every single day!
The faba bean protein is grown and manufactured in a purpose built factory near the town where I grew up and we’re passionate about supporting amazing local farms and businesses. Fran is also from New Zealand and has a connection to Arepa, further supporting local businesses.
To summarise this amazing formula, we have Blackcurrant that is packed with antioxidants and has been known to help with cognitive performance. L-theanine, found in green tea, gives you a nice yet calm buzz without the negative effects of caffeine and has also shown to help symptoms of anxiety. Enzogenol from pine bark extract has been found to support healthy brain function, performance, mental clarity and focus. Combined with the faba bean protein, maca, raw cacao powder, mushroom and nootropics, it’s a very functional blend with real purpose.
