Regulation of Natural Health Products in Canada

Why Should You Attend:

A growing public demand for Natural Health Products has resulted in a desire for many companies to attempt to bring their dietary supplements to Canada, where they are regulated as Natural Health Products. With Canada defining significantly different regulatory requirements for NHPs/supplements than the U.S. FDA, it is important for companies to verify that their products comply with the latest regulations and provisions if they plan to market NHPs in Canada.

This 90 minute webinar will provide a broad overview of the regulations and authoritative bodies that impact Natural Health Products in Canada and will discuss how to verify that products are compliant with published regulations. Validity of NHP ingredients will be discussed along with the monograph process and appropriate GMP requirements. It will also cover detailed requirements for registration, labeling and acceptable marketing claims and touch on any current events that may be of importance to the industry.
