What are “Natural Health Products”
Natural health product (or NHP) is a term used in Canada to refer to a range of health products including: vitamin and mineral supplements, herbal and plant-based remedies, traditional medicines (such as Traditional Chinese Medicines), homeopathic medicines, omega and essential fatty acids and probiotics. In addition, many everyday consumer products, such as certain toothpastes, antiperspirants, shampoos, facial products and mouthwashes are also classified as NHPs in Canada because of their medicinal ingredients and intended uses. NHPs are products which are used and marketed for a variety of health purposes, such as for the prevention or treatment of an ailment or condition, the reduction of health risks, or the maintenance of good health.
