In other words, food supplements aim to bolster an individual’s nutritional profile.

Who Needs Whole Food Supplements?
A quality food supplement may be recommended to address an individual's specific nutrient deficiencies, support overall health and wellness, promote certain bodily functions, and/or enhance physical and mental performance. In addition, food supplements may be recommended to bolster immune function, improve joint health, boost energy and stamina, and aid in weight loss.
It’s important to note that food/superfood supplements are classified as « food » rather than « dietary supplements,» so they likely have far fewer indications or less extensive "recommended uses" than other supplements on the market because they are regulated differently by Health Canada.
Trustworthy Brands For Your Food Supplement Needs
Selecting the right food supplement for you is a personal decision that should be based on your specific health status, needs and goals. Look for supplements from reputable brands that adhere to strict quality control standards and do third-party testing for full transparency. Some of the most trusted food supplement brands available in Canada include:
- AOR
- A Vogel
- Beekeeper’s Naturals
- Botanica
- CanPrev
- Ecoideas
- Flora
- Garden Of Life
- Host Defence
- MegaFood
- Natural Factors
- Progressive Nutritional
