New Roots In Canada

History

New Roots Herbal is a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)–compliant, manufacturer, of natural health products (NHPs). Peter Wilkes, the founder of New Roots Herbal, began working in the health-food industry in 1973, at the first natural foods co‑op in Montreal. Then in 1977, Peter opened a very successful health-food store in Calgary, which was the largest store of its kind in North America at that time. In the mid-1980s, Peter took a new path and founded New Roots Herbal. This name symbolizes a rejuvenation of the body and mind, a changing of lifestyles from old harmful habits to healthy new beginnings. From the very start, the company endeavored to produce the most therapeutic nutraceutical formulas available on the market. These formulas were designed to contribute to the prevention and cure of disease at their core.

New Roots Herbal originally began with only one product—the Body Rejuvenation Program. It has since grown into a multinational company that offers over 335 different natural health products, sold in over 16 countries and 8,600 locations.

Testing

Our products undergo testing:

All incoming ingredients are tested to meet our strict high-quality specifications:
We do not trust any supplier in the world, we test everything in-house.

•  Identity
  Identity is tested to ensure that the ingredient matches the species it is claimed to be; for example, this is borage oil seed and no other seed. Our testing always ensures that the ingredient matches the label.
  
  
•  Potency
  Potency is tested to ensure the ingredient is at the strength it is claimed to be; for example, grape seed meets the 95% proanthocyanidins indicated on the label.
  
  
•  Oxidation
  Testing for oxidation absolutely ensures our products maintain the highest levels of quality and freshness, as well as the lowest level of peroxide, all the way through to expiration.
  
  
•  Disintegration
  Capsules, softgels, and tablets must dissolve in the stomach; on the other hand, GPS enteric-coated capsules, such as those on our Probiotics, must only dissolve in the intestines. Our disintegration testing mimics the human digestive system to ensure all products dissolve at the right place and at the right time.
  
  
•  Purity
  Purity is tested to ensure all our ingredients are free from contaminants. These contaminants include:
  
  
  • Heavy metals
    Heavy metal testing guarantees the safety of our products from such elements as cadmium, copper, lead and nickel.
