Natural Health Products Directorate

The Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD) is a part of Health Canada responsible for regulating natural health products like vitamins, herbal remedies, and supplements. Its goal is to ensure these products are safe, effective, and properly labeled for consumers. The NHPD reviews product formulations, manufacturing practices, and labels before they reach the market. This helps protect public health by ensuring that natural health products meet quality standards and provide accurate information about their use and benefits.
