Wellness and lifestyle company, QNET, has applauded Prof. Abiodun Adebayo on his induction into the Nigerian Academy of Science, NAS, in recognition of his pioneering research in biochemistry and alternative health.

Prof. Adebayo, who serves as a Scientific Advisor to QNET and a key contributor to research on the Amezcua wellness line, was honoured for advancing health and wellness innovation research across Africa.

The recognition also celebrates his lasting impact on biochemistry, particularly his groundbreaking work at the intersection of traditional medicine, phytochemistry, and alternative wellness sciences. These contributions align closely with QNET’s commitment to offering scientifically informed wellness solutions to communities across the continent.

The Nigerian Academy of Science is Nigeria’s foremost independent scientific body. Its mission is to promote the growth, acquisition, and dissemination of scientific knowledge, and to facilitate its application in solving national and global challenges. As a not-for-profit organisation, NAS comprises distinguished fellows elected through a highly competitive process and is uniquely positioned to inform national policies and drive science, technology, and innovation.

Globally, chronic stress and non-communicable diseases are increasingly associated with environmental and lifestyle factors such as air pollution, poor diet, and sedentary urban living. According to the World Health Organization, WHO, 2024, lifestyle diseases now account for over 70 percent of global deaths. In sub-Saharan Africa, stress-related ailments such as migraines, fatigue, and digestive issues are widespread due to limited access to preventive healthcare. In Nigeria, a growing number of such symptoms have been linked to electromagnetic field exposure, highlighting the urgent need for holistic wellness solutions (PubMed Central, 2021; 2022).

Regional Manager for Sub-Saharan Africa at QNET, Mr. Biram Fall, stated: “As a company driven by innovation, QNET is honoured to have Prof. Adebayo serving on our Scientific Advisory Board.

“His recent induction into the Nigerian Academy of Science validates the depth of his scientific integrity and contribution. At QNET, we remain committed to offering integrative wellness solutions that resonate with communities across Africa. Our continued research collaboration ensures that products like the Amezcua BioDisc 3 and Chi Pendant 4 meet the evolving health needs of individuals, especially those experiencing lifestyle-related discomforts that are too often overlooked.

“Prof. Adebayo’s research in phytomedicine and biochemical toxicology has been instrumental in evaluating the impact of Amezcua’s wellness products, including the BioDisc 3, Chi Pendant 4, and BioLight 3, which harness structured water, infrared light, and positive electromagnetic fields, EMFs, to support natural healing and cellular balance.

“These products are known to promote overall well-being by reducing stress, improving sleep, alleviating joint pain, and aiding digestion, critical concerns in many African households.

“With structured research protocols and independent validation, Prof. Adebayo has helped establish a scientific basis for these innovations, bridging the gap between alternative wellness and academic credibility.”

In his own remarks, Prof. Adebayo said: “Innovative and evidence-based approaches to wellness are more crucial now than ever. My research has consistently explored the biochemical foundations of plant-based medicine and alternative health technologies. Through my work with QNET’s Scientific Advisory Board, particularly on the Amezcua product line, we are uncovering how subtle energy science can offer impactful solutions to everyday health challenges faced by millions in Africa.”

This latest recognition goes beyond a ceremonial honour; it underscores the shared vision of QNET and Prof. Adebayo to promote scientific discovery that serves people. With over 80 peer-reviewed publications, extensive mentorship of postgraduate researchers, and international accolades, including fellowships from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the African Academy of Sciences, Prof. Adebayo exemplifies research excellence. His leadership in evaluating non-conventional wellness approaches, including the use of infrared and blue light in pain relief and sleep enhancement, continues to expand the frontiers of preventive health.
