All About Adiantum

To determine whether your product is classified as a food or a natural health product, examining its intended use, ingredients, and associated claims is essential. A food product primarily provides nutrition and energy for consumption. In contrast, a natural health product supports and enhances health while preventing or treating health conditions through specific components such as vitamins, minerals, naturally derived pure molecules or plant extracts. Natural health product labels often highlight health benefits with a “therapeutic” focus.

Adiantum can help you navigate regulatory requirements and ensure compliance with your product.

  • Site License from the Natural and Non-Prescription Health Products Directorate (NNHPD): Issued by Health Canada, this license ensures that the manufacturer complies with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to guarantee product quality and safety.
  • Food Manufacturing: License from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA): The CFIA license certifies the safety of natural health products at an international level. It is the only license other countries recognize as proof of a compliant manufacturer.
  • FDA Registration: Provides access to the U.S. market while ensuring compliance with strict international standards.

Working with a manufacturer with the appropriate licenses is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory standards, product quality, and consumer safety. A licensed manufacturer adheres to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and undergoes regular inspections, significantly reducing the risk of non-compliance and product recalls.

In Canada, it is illegal to manufacture a natural health product without a site license. Any product made by a facility that does not hold this license will be subject to a mandatory recall (and prohibited from sale), and the non-compliant manufacturer will be banned from producing natural health products until they meet the necessary requirements and obtain the proper license.

By partnering with a licensed manufacturer, you can strengthen your brand’s credibility. Adiantum Production is committed to ensuring that your products meet all legal requirements and the highest quality standards.

Your product must undergo testing to ensure its quality, safety, and compliance with current regulations.

For the Canadian market, all products must undergo mandatory microbiological and chemical analyses, specifically determined based on the ingredients in the formulation. These tests typically include:

  • Microbiological analyses
  • Nutritional composition evaluations
  • Contaminant testing (e.g., heavy metals)
  • Stability and efficacy tests

Products intended exclusively for export must comply with the importing country’s regulations, which may require additional testing depending on local requirements.

These analyses are essential to ensure that your product meets legal standards and consumer expectations. Adiantum Production can assist in conducting these tests by working with certified laboratories, ensuring the reliability and compliance of your products in target markets.

Adiantum manufactures capsules:

  • In various sizes (from 00 to 2).
  • Colored or natural, based on your preferences.
  • Plant-based or gelatin-based to meet the needs of your consumers.

To export your product, you must comply with the regulations and requirements of the destination country, particularly regarding safety standards, necessary certifications, and specific labelling rules.

At a minimum, the manufacturer must hold an RSAC license issued by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Additionally, certain ingredients in the formula, such as those of animal origin, may be subject to specific requirements that must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis according to the destination country’s import regulations.

Preparing all the necessary documentation, including certificates of origin, export licenses, and commercial invoices, is also crucial. Ensure your product meets international quality standards and undergo appropriate testing to prevent customs issues. Finally, selecting reliable logistics partners ensures efficient and secure delivery.

Adiantum Production can assist you throughout this process, providing the expertise and support needed to ensure your products comply with regulations and are successfully exported to international markets.
