Supporting Canadian Businesses & What That Means for Your Supplements

When the news hit about the to-be imposed tariffs, the entire dietary supplement industry was on edge. Many of these supplements involve trade with the U.S., Mexico, and China — the three countries hit with President Trump’s tariffs.  


Now more than ever, people are looking to support local Canadian businesses. How can this be done when it comes to supplements, organic grocery, and natural health products?


It can be confusing since most of these products seem imported from the States, but there are a ton of homegrown brands from across Ontario and British Columbia. 

Shop Local Organic Grocery and Vitamins with Healthy Planet Canada

The vast majority of our supplement brands, from AOR to Natural Factors (and everything in between) are Canadian and made within Ontario and BC facilities. We’ve recently added a maple leaf icon to indicate which products are Canadian. 


While we will continue to carry many U.S. and international brands, we do want to put a special focus on supporting Canadian businesses. 


Amid rising costs, shopping for locally manufactured products allows consumers to get a higher quality product for a lower price — since there will not be any associated costs with importing the product into Canada.
