EXPERIENCED BACKGROUND
UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH
Biochemistry
Reapian Medical founders have an extensive partnership history with the University of Stellenbosch Biochemistry department. The Department of Biochemistry has a number of active research groups, each making a significant contribution to biochemistry and science as a whole. Their research laboratories house state of the art research instrumentation and facilities and are managed by highly trained technical staff, all essential for maintaining a high standard in biochemical research. The Department is also hosting a Research Chair in Mechanistic Modelling of Health and Epidemiology as part of the South African Research Chair Initiative (SARChI). Reapian envisages continuing its future operations in close relationship with this highly accredited institution.
BIOCHEMISTRY
What is biochemistry?
Biochemistry is the application of chemistry to the study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels. It emerged as a distinct discipline around the beginning of the 20th century when scientists combined chemistry, physiology, and biology to investigate the chemistry of living systems. It is the branch of science concerned with the chemical and Physico-chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. With an assessment of blood and urine as part of a multi-compartment assessment (e.g. blood test), Reapian can advise and assist with an effective supplement program and recommend the most suitable medical insurance plan, to help prevent and manage current and future disease.
NUTRITIONAL BIOCHEMISTRY
An Applied Scientific Study
Nutritional biochemistry is an applied scientific study, which is based on biology and chemistry, put together with the science of nutrition. Through the understanding of the metabolism of living organisms and chemical analysis at the molecular level, they were able to discover the nutritionally beneficial materials from which functional foods are derived alongside their chemical application and development. Specifically, they examined scientific research publications where mechanisms through genetic cell-line experiments were used and also apply biochemical analysis where animal and human research were utilized in order to analyze the components and effects of newly found material.
OPTIMUM HEALTH
360 Health Protector Program
Our founder firmly believes that establishing and maintaining optimum health requires a new approach to how health services are delivered to members of a health and medical insurance plan. From this philosophy, the 360 Health Protector Plan™ was born and developed to deliver a state-of-the-art scientifically developed online health assessment and diagnostic solution, called 360 Reapian Health-iQ™, to evaluate each individual's health status. This solution will measure and monitor each member’s health progress over time with scheduled interval 360 Blood-iQ™ testing. Health is not merely the absence of illness, but optimal physical and mental function.
FASTER & BETTER.
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT.
ABOUT US
OUR STORY
SINCE 1999
Since 1999, our founders have conducted a series of projects involving nutritional biochemistry and molecular biology, which lead to the formulation and development of nutritional supplements utilizing applied behavioral theory-based research to access the mechanisms of how attitudes and beliefs relate to diet and how health influences behavior in general.
