Wellness and lifestyle direct selling firm, QNET, on Tuesday convened a Science Dialogue at Covenant University in Ogun State to spotlight the scientific research behind its products.

The event with the theme: “Demystifying the Science Around QNET Products”, showcased research led by Prof. Abiodun Adebayo, Director of Research, Innovation & Discovery at Covenant University, Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Science, and a member of the QNET Scientific Advisory Board.

According to Adebayo, whose expertise lies in phytomedicine and biochemical toxicology, his evaluation of QNET’s Amezcua wellness products, including BioDisc 3, ChiPendant 4, and BioLight 3, confirms their potential efficacy.

He said: “These innovations leverage structured water, infrared light, and positive electromagnetic forces (EMFs) to promote natural healing and restore cellular balance.”

Adebayo noted: “The products are designed to support holistic well-being and have demonstrated potential benefits such as stress reduction, improved sleep quality, relief from joint discomfort, and enhanced digestion, issues particularly relevant to households across Africa.”

He added: “QNET’s continued investment in scientific research reflects its commitment to integrating traditional wellness wisdom with modern innovation to achieve optimal health outcomes.”

Speaking before the event commenced, Adebayo said: “This dialogue represents a pivotal moment in bringing together academic research and real-world application. My research has long focused on the potential of structured water and light-based therapies to enhance cellular health and restore energetic balance.

“I am particularly excited to share the science behind QNET’s Amezcua products with the next generation of scientists and entrepreneurs, and to contribute to a more informed conversation about wellness in Africa.”

Meanwhile, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), over 74 percent of global deaths are caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and chronic respiratory illnesses — many of which are closely linked to lifestyle and environmental stressors.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, increasing urbanisation and limited access to preventive healthcare are intensifying these challenges. This growing burden of lifestyle-related ailments underscores the urgent need for innovative, science-backed wellness interventions.

Commenting on the event, QNET’s Regional General Manager for Sub-Saharan Africa, Mr. Biram Fall, said: “This dialogue underscores QNET’s unwavering commitment to offering science-backed wellness solutions that empower individuals to lead healthier, more balanced lives.

“By bridging the gap between innovation, research, and everyday well-being, we continue to demonstrate that quality and credibility are at the heart of everything we do. Collaborations with esteemed researchers like Professor Adebayo allow us to deepen trust in our products and reaffirm our purpose — to improve lives through holistic, evidence-based wellness.”

The Dialogue was hosted by the Vice-Chancellor of Covenant University, Professor Timothy Anake.

The event also featured keynote remarks by Theodocia Naana Quartey, QNET’s Senior Legal Counsel, SSA. Designed primarily for students of the institution, the event offered attendees a firsthand opportunity to engage with QNET’s wellness technologies and gain meaningful insights into the company’s product portfolio, business model, and entrepreneurial opportunities in the direct-selling industry.
