Organika has been making high-quality natural health supplements and foods right here in Canada for the last 30 years. They are a favourite brand of our customers here at National Nutrition (we've been carrying their products for the last 25 years). And it's for good reason: Organika's products are made to exacting quality standards and are available at a great price.
Keep reading to learn more about Organika, including their humble beginnings, how they meticulously formulate their products, and which products you may want to discover here at National Nutrition.
Organika's Brand History
Organika Canada is a second generation family business operating out of beautiful British Columbia. They are passionate about making products that meet you wherever you are on your health journey, and support your overall health and wellbeing.
Organika has had a long history of manufacturing high-quality supplements since 1990. The company began with a small line of supplements sold out of the back of Thomas Chin's van.
Today, Organika is run by Thomas's son Aaron. The company has expanded rapidly, now manufacturing over 200 natural health products, including Organika Enhanced Collagen, Canada’s #1 selling collagen powder.
At National Nutrition, we are proud to have a longstanding relationship with Organika. We have been selling Organika products for the last 25 years.
Quality Manufactured Supplements in Canada: The Organika Way
Organika formulates its supplements with ingredients that are non-GMO, high-potency, third-party tested, and organic where possible. All its products are free of artificial ingredients and fillers.
Organika products are manufactured at Organika's own facility in Richmond, British Columbia, with the highest standards, from non-GMO ingredient selection to voluntary third party testing.
Organika's products contain non-GMO, high potency, third-party tested, and organic ingredients whenever possible. Organika uses IGEN, a third party that verifies that ingredients are truly non-GMO.
Organika products are free of artificial ingredients and fillers. To ensure safety, efficacy, and quality, Organika's products are reviewed, approved, and licensed by Health Canada before being sold. Organika goes one step further by testing all their products at Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) third-party certified labs. This level is not required by Health Canada; however, Organika chooses to go this extra step to ensure that their products are safe and effective for you.
In addition, Organika's facility has regular 3rd party quality inspections by Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to ensure that the company delivers quality products that are safe for you.
Organika also has a commitment to the environment. By 2025, the company's goal is to have 100% of their packaging transitioned to post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics, resulting in less plastic in our oceans and a lower carbon footprint. That's something we can feel great about.
Organika Products
Organika makes well-known (and well-loved) products. Of the 200 products they make, these are the most popular in our store:
- Quercetin: Quercetin is a natural compound found in onions and apples, and its extract is frequently used to reduce inflammation and allergy symptoms. Recently, quercetin has become popular for reducing the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections. Organika's Quercetin combines the anti-inflammatory effects of 400 milligrams of quercetin with 100 milligrams of bromelain, an anti-inflammatory enzyme derived from pineapples.
- Grape Seed Extract: If you are looking for high antioxidant effects, reach for Organika's Grape Seed Extract instead of a glass of red wine. Grape seed extract contains a group of powerful antioxidants called oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Studies show that OPCs are far more powerful than vitamins E and C. Additionally, they work with the body's main antioxidant, glutathione, to recycle vitamin C so it can continue fighting free radicals. OPCs are easily absorbed by the body and even cross the blood-brain barrier to provide protection to our brain and nerves. They are used for cardiovascular health because they strengthen the collagen lining of vessels, thus increasing circulation and decreasing inflammation and blood clots while keeping tissues like the skin elastic and preventing harmful cell formation. Each capsule of Organika's Grape Seed Extract contains GSE standardized to 85% to 95% Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin (OPC) in a base of citrus bioflavonoids.
- Black Cumin Seed Oil: Organika's Black Cumin Seed Oil makes an excellent addition to a natural health regimen. It helps fight seasonal allergies and asthma, supports heart health, protects the liver, and provides overall immune support. Organika's Black Cumin Seed Oil provides 500 milligrams of cold-pressed Nigella sativa (black cumin seed oil) per serving.
- Spirulina: Spirulina is a blue-green algae that is used as a natural health supplement. It is one of the most nutritious foods on earth, providing high amounts of protein, B vitamins, beta-carotene, and other antioxidants. Spirulina also contains small amounts of iron, calcium, and magnesium. Organika's 1000 mg of pure, premium-grade spirulina is packed with nutrients, including protein, vitamins, trace minerals, essential amino acids, carotenoids, and enzyme complexes. This superfood can be taken on its own or mixed into smoothies or juices.
Where To Buy Organika Supplements
As we mentioned, Organika also makes Canada's #1-selling collagen supplement. The Enhanced Collagen and Marine Collagen supplements from Organika have become best-sellers in recent years. The line includes powder and liquid collagens; Multi Collagen, which combines three sources of collagen; Electrolytes+ Enhanced Collagen, which combines hydrating electrolytes with collagen and vitamin C; Effervess tablets that combine collagen and vitamin C into handy effervescent tablets that can be taken on the go; and Beauty Enhanced Collagen to help you look younger.
All these incredible products (plus many more!) are available at National Nutrition. We can't wait to have you stop by.
I love knowing that Organika is a local and Canadian brand from British Columbia! I really appreciate learning about the background of these different supplement companies as I find it really builds trust and allows the consumer to pick one that resonates with their values and their morals. I personally have used this brand before and have really enjoyed it and it’s really cool to see it on shelves and now know the background history behind it more than before! It is also great to know that it is approved by health Canada before being sold because a lot of supplements and brands have information that you may not have access to or their test testing methods may be different than what you’re looking for and you just would never know going into a store and buying it so this is offered a lot of reassurance. Thank you so much for sharing this fun article!
