What is a Natural Health product?

The Natural Health Product Regulations, part of the Food and Drugs Act, came into Force on January 1, 2004. A Natural Health Product (NHP) is defined as follows:

“natural health product” means a substance set out in Schedule 1 or a combination of substances in which all the medicinal ingredients are substances set out in Schedule 1, a homeopathic medicine or a traditional medicine, that is manufactured, sold or represented for use in

• (a) the diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or prevention of a disease, disorder or abnormal physical state or its symptoms in humans;
• (b) restoring or correcting organic functions in humans; or
• (c) modifying organic functions in humans, such as modifying those functions in a manner that maintains or promotes health.

However, a natural health product does not include a substance set out in Schedule 2, any combination of substances that includes a substance set out in Schedule 2 or a homeopathic medicine or a traditional medicine that is or includes a substance set out in Schedule 2.

The NHP Regulations are administered by the Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD)
