Natural Health Products / Supplements
In Canada a product licence (Natural Products Number (NPN)) is required to sell a natural health product whether the product is made in Canada or imported for sell into Canada. In addition, a site licence is required for the physical site in Canada where any persons (business or individual) wishes to manufacture, package, label, and/or import a Natural Health Products (NHP) for sale.
Any person (business or individual) that brings into Canada a finished NHP for the purpose of sale is considered to be an importer including those that ship a product directly to the retailer without first storing the product require a site licence and, must be compliant with all the GMP requirements relating to the site licence. Retailers selling products that they themselves have imported are considered the importer and, therefore, require a site licence and, must be compliant with all the GMP requirements relating to the site licence.
Whatever, your model is, GNHP Consulting has a team of professionals to help you comply with product and site licencing requirements.

Natural Health Product Consulting Services in Canada
Bringing a natural health product to the Canadian market involves strict rules set by Health Canada. Global NHP Consulting offers dependable natural health product consulting in Canada that businesses can rely on, guiding manufacturers, importers, and distributors through product classification, formulation review, and licence submissions. Our team simplifies a process that often overwhelms newcomers and established brands alike.
Every vitamin, herbal remedy, homeopathic medicine and probiotic sold in Canada needs proper authorization before reaching shelves. Working with an experienced NHP consultant reduces delays, rejected applications, and costly rework. Our consultants handle documentation, safety evidence and labelling requirements, giving your brand a clear path toward a compliant, market-ready product.
Why Health Canada Compliance Matters
Health Canada evaluates every natural health product before granting market authorization. Products lacking a valid Natural Product Number cannot legally sell within Canada, exposing companies to seizures, fines and reputational harm. Securing an NHP product licence in Canada requires accurate ingredient sourcing, evidence-based health claims and properly formatted labels, which Canadian authorities recognize. Many businesses underestimate submission complexity, resulting in avoidable delays. Our specialists review formulations against the Natural Health Products Regulations, correct gaps before submission, and communicate directly with reviewers when clarification arises, keeping your application moving forward instead of sitting in review queues.
