Description
Unfortunately, the text-based data extract is no longer accessible through the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products (NNHPD) website. We want to underline that the support for the CSV (text) extract formats has been dropped by our program area and the links to CSV files on the page will be deleted soon. However, the alternative formats XML and JSON are both available and are updated daily and will continue to be moving forward. For the most recent LNHPD extract you can retrieve either XML or JSON extracts from our API.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
The Licensed Natural Health Products Database contains information about natural health products that have been issued a product licence by Health Canada. This data extract contains information on NHP Products.
Products with a licence have been assessed by Health Canada and found to be safe, effective and of high quality under their recommended conditions of use. You can identify licensed natural health products by looking for the eight-digit Natural Product Number (NPN) or Homeopathic Medicine Number (DIN-HM) on the label.
