Meet The Founder

Dara (she/her), the heart and soul behind SAM+LEO, and a devoted mom to two incredible teenage boys. Dara’s journey into the world of clean, supportive supplements began one summer while preparing her son for sleepaway camp. Struggling to find vitamins that were not only safe but also supportive of her son's mental well-being, she discovered a glaring need for better options.

Dara didn't jump in immediately. Instead, she took her time, mulling over her experience and reaching out to other parents. The overwhelming number of similar frustrations she heard confirmed she wasn't alone in her quest for healthier, more thoughtful supplements. Encouraged by this shared need, Dara leveraged her extensive background in global health to create SAM+LEO, a brand dedicated to filling that gap with vitamins that parents can trust and teens can benefit from.

Join us at SAM+LEO, where every product is crafted with care and your family's health in mind.
