SCIENCE MADE SIMPLE
Turning Science into Supplements
Sure, we make science look simple, but behind each of our products we have implemented a highly complex, evidence-based production process to ensure we safely and effectively distil and deliver nutrients to help you thrive.
Take a peek at how our products are made, quality checked, certified by Health Canada, checked again, and delivered to you:
Step 1: Gather All Ingredients
Inspired By Research
Current research with proven clinical results inspires and informs the products we create.
Premium Ingredients
Our team combs through suppliers and finds the highest quality, ethically sourced, and accessible ingredients.
Finding our Formula
We design formulas for effective nutrient delivery with inactive ingredients only when needed to help with stability or cellular absorption.
Health Canada Approval
The natural health industry is regulated in Canada. A Natural Product Number (NPN) is a product license issued by Health Canada to verify the potency and usage of the product’s ingredients.
Step 2: Putting it All Together
Materials Arrive at Factory
WHOLISTIC sources effective and sustainable raw materials from locations around the world. These materials are delivered to our own manufacturing facility.
Test Raw Materials
We test raw materials to confirm their identity, potency, heavy metal, pesticide and microbial content.
Mixing Up Raw Materials
We blend raw materials applying our advanced knowledge of ingredients, how they interact with each other, and use meticulous manufacturing processes.
Test for Potency
Final testing for potency, product uniformity and label claims issued by Health Canada regulations are conducted in house and later by verified third parties.
Step 3: Delivered with Care
Final Product
Alongside our own strict quality standards, WHOLISTIC is guided by the Canadian Good Manufacturing Process (cGMP) in its best practices to ensure that our quality assurance and quality control meet the highest standards.
Bottling & Labeling
Our processes maximize the safety and efficacy of the natural health products we manufacture and distribute.
3rd Party Testing & Quality Control
WHOLISTIC completes third-party testing in ISO certified laboratories to ensure the purity, potency, stability and safety of the raw ingredients used in our formulas.
