You will likely recognize their logo and packaging on our shelves; however, you may be surprised to learn that Natural Factors Canada is one of the largest manufacturers of natural health supplements in North America. In fact, Natural Factors was founded in the 1950s and is still family-owned today.

Natural Factors was created by Roland Gahler, a pioneer in the natural health industry who has been recognized many times for his contributions to natural medicine. To this day, Gahler is still the owner of Natural Factors and has been recognized for his philanthropy.

Natural Factors Canada: Mission, Vision, and Values

The company is guided by a strict set of values and cares deeply about the origin and quality of its products, creating harmony between ourselves and nature, and being good stewards of the earth.

Ingredient Sourcing and Agriculture

Natural Factors is committed to sustainable farming practices. Many of Natural Factors’ products are sourced from their own crops, grown from non-GMO and heirloom seeds on their lush 2000-acre farm in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. Over the years, Natural Factors has created a seed bank of their own heirloom seeds.

Crops are grown using regenerative farming practices. These farming practices help restore soil fertility and improve the local environment while supporting communities that depend on agriculture for livelihoods.

Product Purity and Safety

Natural Factors was born in an industry that was largely unregulated and driven by profit, not people. But founder Roland Gahler saw a different path for his company. He believes that everyone deserves to have natural health products that are clean, pure, and safe for them. Natural Factors can own the entire process from farming to manufacturing by making products in their own dedicated facility in British Columbia.

The company holds its products to strict pharmaceutical standards. Where no standards exist, Natural Factors uses other standards set out by the Council for Responsible Nutrition or the World Health Organization.

Natural Factors is obsessed with testing its final products and invests in four rounds of testing once products are manufactured. The industry average is two rounds of tests. Furthermore, Natural Factors goes above and beyond by using ISURA to third-party test their products; such testing is not required by Health Canada. The ISURA certification process tests for more than 800 contaminants like pesticides, heavy metals, and more. When you see the ISURA seal on Natural Factors labels, it means that the product is non-GMO, safe, pure, and potent.

Commitment to the Environment

Natural Factors is proud to be a certified B-corporation, which means they're committed to minimizing its impact on the planet while maximizing its positive social and environmental impact. And it's because of this vision that they have become carbon neutral.

Passion for Helping People

Natural Factors believes in paying it forward and is involved in several charitable organizations. Natural Factors are supporters of the Plant a Seed and See What Grows Foundation. These organizations help to educate children on how nurturing the earth is important for us.

Since 2007, Natural Factors has been involved with Vitamin Angels, an organization that provides vitamin A to children in need. Vitamin A is crucial for children's development, and through this partnership, Natural Factors provides 6 million children with this important nutrient every year.
