NHPs LICENCING

All Natural Health Products (NHPs) that are targeting the Canadian market are subject to the Natural Health Products Regulations, which came into effect on January 1, 2004

All Natural Health Products must have a product license before they can be sold anywhere in Canada. To obtain a Natural Health Product license, manufacturers and importers must submit a product license application to Health Canada. The application must include evidence that the NHP meets specific requirements for safety, efficacy and quality. 

 Health Canada assesses all applications for NHPs on a case-by-case basis.

If your product is approved for licensing, you will be issued a Natural Product Number (NPN) which must be included on all labelling and advertising for your product.
