About Us
This is why we do what we do!
We've had a long journey of walking through isles of medicine and looking at the labels. As time went on we realized (with much research) that most of the products available to us had some questionable ingredients. We got fed up with products that had more bad ingredients (mostly sugar) than healthy natural ingredients, hence we started making our own supplements.
Our supplements worked so well that we started to give them to family and friends to try out. Eventually, we realized that we need to make this available to anyone who also wants to walk the path to health and wellness with no-nonsense products. We invite you to engage with us and our products, as we believe they will be as beneficial to you as they are to us. Our product range currently consists of Natural Herbal Supplements, Nutraceuticals, and Herbal Teas.

From our founder
Sanmari Pienaar
Thinking about it, the Skinny Maverick story actually began in 1997 when I met the love of my life. We were in school together since grade 8 but never really talked much until fate would have us meet up towards the end of our grade 10 year, and as they say, the rest is history. We have been together ever since then and it is now a massive 25 years later.
Fast forward a couple of years, when we started living together, I started to realize that Reon did not share the same healthy constitution as I did. And after more than one midnight trip to the ER for fever, and being on countess antibiotics all the time, when the doctor prescribed him the 10th round of antibiotics for the year, Reon got up and just walked out of the consultation room. I decided to take the matter into my own hands because surely this couldn’t be a done deal, you can do something to become a healthier person, and revive your own immune system.
After some in-depth research (and cross-checking facts and reading mountains of books, and studying and studying) I quickly learned that what you put into your mouth plays a big part in your overall health and quality of life. I fell in love with the world of nutrition and the miracle of food, and what it actually means to our bodies.
Fast Forward another few years, I have actually just had enough of the food and pharmaceutical industry always hiding sneaky ingredients in their products. Also, there were things I wanted to supplement Reon with, but just couldn't get myself to buy the products because of the ingredients that they were made with. I simply and finally decided to just make them myself.
Having a passion for mixing and scientifically combining concoctions and powders and all sorts of things since I was little, making my own supplements came to me naturally and I started making my own line of 100% pure supplements and food products, without sugar and nasty ingredients, bulking agents, etc, and the list goes on.
Needless to say, Reon is now in the best shape of his life, and he sure knows how to test my food strategies well. After a broken finger that healed perfectly (after the doctors strongly recommended it should have been amputated and actually couldn't believe it healed so well), we knew eating the right food matters without a doubt. We have since not been inside of a Doctors room in many many many years
It is my quest in life to keep my husband as healthy for as long as I can and to make as many memories in this wild ride called life with him. While I am at it, I decided that I would like to bestow the same gift of genuine health products to as many people as I can along the way, so that they can also make as many memories with the people they love for as long and as healthy as they can.
Wishing you health in abundance,
From my family to yours.
