The Formulation Strategy Behind e’Pap

The main goal of e’Pap is to help create a nutrient replete human being, by addressing what has now become known as ‘hidden hunger’ (vitamin and mineral deficiencies).  One in three people in the world suffers from hidden hunger today.

Victims of low health, poverty and disease can begin to cope better with their own poverty and health challenges once they are ‘nutrient replete’, i.e. physically and mentally able human beings. In the case of highly malnourished poor people, the reality is that ‘part solutions’ are ineffective: people will remain dysfunctional if their nutritional deficits are increasing daily.

Our challenge was to innovate a nutrient-dense food matrix with the following qualities:

• Must contain the essential nutrients missing from the target groups’ diet

• Must be affordable, easy to use, palatable and culturally acceptable to target groups

• Must be presented as a single-step portion of real food (i.e. not a tablet)

• Must contain the most efficacious, food-state nutritional supplements available

• Must be carefully balanced so that nutrients do not ‘block’ or conflict with each other

Fyi here is a table with some of the micronutrients in e'Pap and some of the benefits of those vitamins and minerals...

WHY I RECOMMEND E’PAP TO VARSITY STUDENTS

Dear Dr Basil Kransdorff 

The life of a Varsity student can be extremely stressful and demanding, from adapting to a new environment to keeping up with hectic work load of assignments and studying for an upcoming test or exam. This leads to students trying various kinds of ways to keep up with this new demanding lifestyle they have just entered into, from waking up early in the morning from a night of staying up late studying for a test and having to rush off to an early lecture.

So what could help students cope with all this? Well most students turn to energy drinks to increase their energy levels and to remain active during lectures. Some students even use expensive supplements to help them receive those needed nutrients which they need to expand their concentration during important lectures. These become heavily expensive to purchase to both the parents and students which leads to a number of things being cut out of monthly budgets in order to afford the essentials that an average student need to live a stress free varsity lifestyle. Some students even come across the problem of not having enough money to purchase enough food which would last for Semester or month which leads to them going back to their own accommodation/varsity Res without anything to eat or cook and that also contributes to fatigue and lack of concentration between lectures because of an empty stomach.

I believe that a healthy student achieves the best out of him/her selves as they work better and efficiently to achieve their goals through a healthy stress free lifestyle. 

How can a student achieve all this? Well I recommend a simple bowl of instant e’Pap a day. Why I recommend e’Pap? Simple, Because as a former varsity student I too went through all sorts of challenges that a student studying towards their career. e’Pap helped through these challenges as I had a hard time adapting to this new kind of lifestyle and at times couldn’t cope with the workload given to me by lectures and having to concentrate during lectures as I didn’t have the energy to concentrate after a night of studying or being busy with a stressful assignment. 

My mother soon started purchasing vitamin supplements which helped me when I had to study for upcoming exams but these soon ended being an extra expense. I soon started trying out e’Pap and had a bowl of it in the morning before going to school, I didn’t actually enjoy having instant porridge as a young boy as compared to having a bowl of Corn Flakes or Coco pops, I started realising that the vanilla flavoured e’Pap tasted so good and become an instant fan of in the morning before having to rush off for my morning early lectures. I then read the packaging and noticed that an adult had to take 4 table spoons which is equivalent to 50 grams per day, with this I soon saw results from this dosage as I went to all my morning lectures and still felt full by my midday break. This then meant that I didn’t have to buy lunch and used that time to go to the library and catch up on notes I missed in the previous lectures. 

I soon noticed that my concentration span grew and I didn’t find it hard to concentrate during lectures or when studying, I found that e’Pap increases your energy and concentration as it helps to addresses the body’s nutritional requirements such as iron. It also helps with fatigue which played a major role when I had to attend lectures in the morning and when coming home from a late lecture where you’re just exhausted and feel like sleeping or taking a nap. 

With taking e’Pap on a regular basis I also then refrained from drinking energy drinks which we all know have negative consequences which are created by refined sugar and caffeine. 

I believe e’Pap made my time in varsity a whole easier as it helped defeat a whole lot of challenges I experienced as a student studying towards my qualification and truly believe it would help a lot other students the same way it helped me. 

As young adults we all love following trends and need to start making wise decisions for ourselves whether popular or not and e’Pap proves that a healthy student achieves excellent results for their future careers and lives as young future adults and parents to the next generation which will be taught the same....IT ALL STARTS WITH JUST A BOWL OF “e’Pap.
