From Mom to Innovator: The Panda Nutrition Story

Behind every great product is a story, and Panda Nutrition’s story is one of passion, perseverance, and a mother’s love.  Meet the Mom Behind the Brand:  Leandré van Antwerpen is a mother of two who, like many parents, struggled to meet her children’s nutritional needs. With her B.Pharm degree and over a decade of experience in health and product development, she combined her professional expertise with her personal challenges to create Panda Nutrition.  Leandré has worked at renowned institutions, including The Royal Marsden Hospital, and has specialized in compounding medicine. Her dream was to make a product that offers parents an affordable, high-quality alternative to imported supplements.

How Panda Nutrition Stands Out

  • Affordable & Comprehensive: Combines quality and value.

  • Designed by a Mom: Tailored to meet the needs of children and parents.

  • Locally Developed: Made with South African families in mind.
