#NHPsAreNotDrugs – Your Access to Natural Health Products Is At Risk!

Your Right to Wellness is Under Threat: Here’s How You can Take Action!

Did you know that 77% of Canadians make use of Natural Health Products (NHPs) in their efforts to maintain good health – and that those efforts are now under threat, thanks to proposals by Health Canada that could reduce your access to safe, natural health products?

Here’s the issue:

Health Canada has recently proposed changes to the ways that NHPs are regulated – an effort to ‘fix’ a system that is not broken. Instead, these changes will make it harder for you to obtain the products you and millions of other Canadians rely on to stay well.

Current regulations work. They take into account the unique properties and safety offered by these products, while respecting your right to exercise the freedom of choice when it comes to your health care decisions. Proposed changes will disrupt this delicate balance, and put your right to choose into jeopardy.

If you care about your access to high quality, proven effective NHPs (including Vitamins, Supplements and Herbal Products), we strongly urge you to take action – by taking a minute or two to send your concerns to your member of parliament by clicking on the link below.
