Shopping Canadian and Ontario made has always been important to us, so I like to think we are experts on Canadian products here at Good Health Naturally! If you are looking to support more Canadian businesses through your health and wellness routine, look no further- we have compiled a list of some of our absolute favourite brands selling supplements, skincare, and everyday essentials to not only improve your health, but support Canadian brands.Â
Supplement Brands we Love:
1. St.Francis Herb Farm
For 2 generations, St.Francis has farmed and produced top quality herbal tinctures and skincare in the Madawaska Valley, Ontario. Look no further for a trusted source of herbals for cleansing, cold and flu season, hormonal balance, and much more. One thing that really sets this brand apart from other herbal companies is that they grow as much as possible themselves, caring about each step of production from sowing seedings to creating the products you love. Two must-have products from their line up: Deep Immune and Valericalm.
2. NIYAMAÂ
A woman owned brand out of Toronto, NIYAMA focuses on creating products that help you achieve your goals holistically. Many of their products feature ingredients that focus on multiple health concerns. For example, their creatine powder includes electrolytes and vitamin D3, helping you get these other very important nutrients to support your body through working out or every day life. As holistic nutritionists, we often say their formulations are exactly what we dreamed brands would make before we found Niyama! Two must-have products from their line: Goddess Greens and Hey Relax.
3. WomenSense
WomenSense is a line of products designed to help women reach their full health potential. Carefully and naturally formulated, these products support women from puberty to menopause and beyond for issues such as low thyroid, hormone imbalance, stress, and fatigue. Each formulation is created with a science backed approach with quality in mind. WomenSense also donates a portion of every bonus bottle to the Canadian Women's Foundation - just another reason to support Canadian! Two of our favourite products: PCOSense and ThyroSense.
4. AOR
Advanced Orthomolecular Research has long been thought of as a company creating clean, innovative, and top quality supplements. They formulate based solely on good quality research and are always on the cutting edge of creating new therapeutic products for Canadians. Two of our favourite products from AOR (although it's impossible to choose!) are Ortho Minerals and their Advanced B Complex.Â
Skincare Brands We Love:
1. Muskoka Tallow
This Woman Owned Tallow brand does everything right- from careful sourcing to increasing absorption and potency of products with synergistic herbal additions. Tallow acts as a skin barrier protector and deeply nourishes for softer, healthier skin. Some of our favourites: Healing Ointment and Golden Glow.
2. Birch Babe
Birch Babe is a brand our of Northbrook, Ontario creating powerful topicals with natural, clean ingredients. They are all about powerful yet gentle skincare for a low maintenance routine that keeps your skin glowing. We have loved seeing Birch Babe products not only change our skin but yours as well! Two favourites include their vitamin C serum and Hydrating Face Cream.Â
