Quality Standards & Control

Genestra’s excellent reputation comes from putting quality first. Genestra has set a high standard for quality by investing in precision manufacturing. From start to finish, they ensure the highest-quality products by utilizing rigorous manufacturing standards for raw materials, preparation, bottling, and storage processes. Their top-quality supplements are made to meet the high standards of Canada, Europe, and the US. Here's how they do it:

• Formulation: Genestra has over 300 professional-grade supplements developed by a team of natural health care practitioners, academic institutes and medical schools, independent researchers, and scientists. Genestra's speciality formulas are developed to meet a variety of people's individual needs, whether it is chemical or allergen sensitivity.
• Manufacturing: All Genestra products meet the FDA's Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) and Health Canada's Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements.
• Testing: It's not enough for a company to make great products. They must ensure that the product is up to their high standards as well. Genestra has an extensive quality control process that ensures each and every batch of supplements meets these standards before it goes out the door. Genestra ensures all raw materials follow the same strict guidelines and testing protocols as their finished products. All of their products are tested a minimum of three times by third parties for contaminants (including microbial, heavy metals, and pesticides), efficacy, and potency.
• Research: Genestra's formulas also undergo clinical human trials, and the company has participated in research studies to ensure its products are compliant with their clinical values. They also have a research study at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine for HMF Microbiome research for their HMF probiotic line.
• In 2011, the Seroyal group of companies, including the Genestra brand, were sold to Atrium Innovations, a supplement manufacturer based in Quebec. This has helped the company grow on a global scale.

Genestra Products

Genestra's products are made from natural ingredients and are free of gluten and dairy allergens. Many of their products are free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Genestra offers a variety of formats for its professional-grade products. From capsules to liquids to tablets and powders, Genestra has products for you.

Their formulas are recommended and often used in patient protocols by naturopaths, holistic nutritionists, and medical doctors practising alternative medicine.

Here are some of our favourite Genestra products:

HMF Probiotics

Genestra's HMF Probiotic line is one of the most popular in our store, offering formulations for a range of needs, including digestive maintenance, post-antibiotic support, and formulas for kids. The HMF line is made up of high-potency human strain probiotics that are a blend of four strains of probiotics that have been effective in clinical studies. Plus, the HMF formulas are vegan, non-GMO, and free from dairy and gluten.

D-Mulsion

In Canada, we need to take a daily vitamin D supplement to ensure we're getting sufficient amounts of the "sunshine vitamin." We need vitamin D for bone health, immune health, and so much more, which is why many practitioners recommend we take anywhere from 1000 to 10000 IU per day. Genestra's D-Mulsion 1000 contains emulsified vitamin D and can be taken on its own or mixed into a beverage. Each drop contains 1000 IU and has a great-tasting berry flavour, making it easy to use.

Super EFA

Super EFA is another popular choice, providing high levels of EPA and DHA fatty acids from small fish. But unlike some fish oils that taste fishy, Super EFA is fresh and clean and comes in flavours that make it easy to take, making this product popular among practitioners and NN customers alike.

Magnesium Glycinate

Genestra's Magnesium Glycinate Powder is a pure and potent magnesium supplement that supports proper muscle function, nutrient and energy metabolism, and the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. This formula not only provides 205 milligrams of bioavailable magnesium per scoop but is a dairy-, gluten-, and GMO-free powder that's suitable for vegans.

Popular Naka Platinum Products For Good Health

Naka makes a wide range of supplements that will help you reach your goals. At National Nutrition, we have been working with Naka Platinum for many years, carry a wide-range of their products, and are always adding more.

Here are the top-selling Naka products at National Nutrition, which all happen to be in liquid format, which is ideal for anyone who doesn't like to swallow pills:

• Naka Vital Greens: If you're looking for more energy and to help your body cleanse and detoxify, reduce cravings, and aid in digestion, you will love Vital Greens. Our customers love Vital Greens because it makes it simple for them to get their daily dose of fruits and veggies. Made with more than 40 herbs and superfoods, including chlorophyll, aloe vera, and spirulina, Naka's Vital Greens brings you vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in an easy-to-take liquid format that tastes fresh and minty.

• Hubner Silicea Gel: These days, everyone's crazy for collagen. Silica is one component of collagen, which can help replenish your body's collagen for youthful and hydrated skin, hair, and nails. Silicea Gel is derived from quartz crystals and provides 196 milligrams of silicic acid per serving. Best of all, Silicea Gel can be taken internally or applied topically as a soothing face mask, as a spot treatment for blemishes, or on the skin to heal minor wounds. Some of our customers even use Silicea Gel as a hair mask to help slow the greying process.

• Hubner Milk Thistle Liquid: Your liver is your body's most important organ, and it's responsible for processing nutrients from food, regulating blood sugar levels, and removing toxins from your body. Unfortunately, our hectic lives can cause us to neglect our livers, which can lead to a whole host of health problems. Hubner Milk Thistle Liquid contains naturally occurring silymarin from milk thistle seeds, a natural liver tonic that helps your body detoxify itself. This product is an excellent addition to any diet or lifestyle change that aims to improve overall health. Recommended by doctors and pharmacists in Europe, this milk thistle contains a clinically effective dose of active ingredients. Hubner's Milk Thistle is ideal for anyone on cleansing programs or with liver conditions, as its fast-acting liquid format helps deliver ingredients to the liver quickly.

• Nutri-Joint: A large percentage of Canadians suffer from some form of joint pain, whether it is arthritis, knee, back, or neck pain, or just pain and stiffness from sports injuries. Nutri-Joint can help to immediately relieve joint pain and inflammation while offering long-term joint protection and cartilage regeneration. This unique formula is made from MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) with the addition of glucosamine sulfate, amino acid-rich hydrolyzed gelatin, turmeric, devil's claw, and bromelain to synergistically address pain and inflammation. Nutri-Joint offers effects similar to some NSAID drugs with a dose of just one tablespoon per day. The easy-to-absorb formula tastes good mixed with water but can also be mixed with juice.

These are just some of the most popular supplements from Naka Platinum. Our customers also love Naka's Pro Collagen, Naka Magnesium Bisglycinate, and Probiotics.

Explore Naka Supplement Format Varieties

Most supplements available today are in pill (capsule or tablet) format. While this format works for many people, some people don't like or can't swallow pills. Naka Platinum understood this predicament early on and invested a great deal in creating liquid formulas that are not only effective but are uniquely suited to the liquid format. Naka's liquid products are designed to dissolve quickly, so you don't have to wait for them to digest before moving on with your day. They can be taken at any time of day and still provide the benefits of traditional, pill-based supplements.
