Our Team

Sydney McPeak

#1 Taste tester + Social media

Growing up, Sydney learned about the health benefits of fruits, vegetables, spices, and mushrooms while trying different products throughout the isles of her grandparent’s health food store. She was the number one taste tester for her family’s brand of gummy supplements, utilizing certified organic plant-based vitamins and minerals and diary-free Probiotics.

Sydney has helped the McPeak® brand develop products and flavors she believes young women and women of all ages will enjoy. The superfoods found in McPeak’s products are ingredients Sydney eats every day in her smoothies, snacks, and supplements.

Richie McPeak

 CO-FOUNDER, DAD, & CANCER WARRIOR

Richie’s passion for studying food medicine spans 20+ years. Starting in 1996, Richie stocked the shelves of his family’s health food store where he spent time studying the benefits of organic fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, mushrooms, and Probiotics. He listened to consumers and their families and the healthy goodness they were seeking. The interaction and trust that occurs while handing people products and looking them in the eyes is something he has carried with him throughout his journey to create clean, organic, plant-based gummy supplements and Probiotics.

Inspired while having lunch with his kindergarten son, Conner, in the early 2000s, Richie noticed a lack of fruits, vegetables, and spices in kids’ products. Richie and his family created the first kids and adult certified organic, plant-based gummy supplements with the USDA Organic Seal, European Union Seal, and non-GMO project verification. These delicious supplements were placed worldwide in top retailers such as Publix, Wegmans, and H-E-B, plus thousands of health food stores and households globally.
