How to Launch a Health Canada-Compliant NPN Product
Navigating through the regulatory system

Launching a natural health supplement in Canada requires more than a great formula — you must meet Health Canada standards and secure an NPN (Natural Product Number).

Medflora helps brands through compliant development and manufacturing under our Health Canada Site Licence.

Steps to Launch NPN Products

1) Define the Health Benefit & Delivery Format

  • Beverage

  • Powder

  • Sachet

  • Functional shot

2) Select Active Ingredients

Health Canada regulates:

  • Ingredient list

  • Dosage maximums

  • Claims

3) Prepare Evidence Package

Evidence may include:

  • Clinical studies

  • Monographs

  • Safety data

4) Submit NPN Application

Documents include:

  • Product formulation

  • Recommended use

  • Safety and stability data

5) Manufacture in a Licensed Facility

Health Canada requires GMP-aligned, traceable production — which Medflora provides.

Can Brands Launch Faster?

Yes. We offer white-label NPN-approved formulations for rapid entry.
