We are Your Natural Health Product (NHP) Experts
Helping your NHP brands claim their place on Canadian shelves since 2004
In Canada, dietary supplements are referred to as natural health products (NHPs).
As a population, health-conscious Canadians are increasingly turning to NHPs to improve their health and well-being.
NHPs must be shown to be safe, effective, and of high quality, and must attain a product license with Health Canada prior to sale. Importers, manufacturers, packagers, and labellers of these products must maintain a current Health Canada site license in order to conduct these activities.
Numerous types of natural ingredients can be incorporated into NHPs, including:
- Vitamins and minerals
- Herbal remedies
- Homeopathic medicines
- Traditional medicines like traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic (East Indian) medicines
- Probiotics
- Amino acids
- Essential fatty acids
Our regulatory affairs specialists are experts in the Canadian NHP regulatory framework and associated policies. We can assist you with any or all aspects of NHP regulations, including licensing, clinical trials, and post-market compliance. And because branding is a priority for NHPs, our graphics team will ensure your current labels and artwork are compliant and compelling.
