Health Canada wants to make significant regulatory changes to
natural health products
The natural health product sector is part of your everyday life. 71% of Canadians use natural health products like vitamins, toothpaste, sunscreen and more – as part of their proactive health and wellbeing.
This sector consists of 54,000 hardworking employees across Canada, who
contribute $5.5B to the Canadian economy, including $2.8B in tax revenue. As part of many Canadians’ proactive healthcare, it helps alleviate some of the burdens on a stretched healthcare system.
These unnecessary changes will treat natural health products like pharmaceutical drugs. This over-regulation will negatively impact how NHP brands can do business, forcing a downstream effect on retailers and consumers.
