Consultation & Quality Services
NPN Documentation & Submission Support
CPC supports clients through the full scientific and regulatory process required to obtain a Natural Product Number (NPN).
NPN submission is treated as a structured, evidence-based process that integrates formulation
science, quality data, and regulatory requirements from the outset.
Scientific & Technical Preparation
CPC provides formulation and R&D support to align products with regulatory expectations before submission.
• Review and optimization of formulations to align with accepted medicinal and non-medicinal ingredients
• Dose, potency, and format validation based on Health Canada monographs and evidence requirements
• Technical guidance on ingredient compatibility, delivery format, and stability considerations
Early alignment reduces the risk of refusals, clarification requests, or late-stage reformulation.
NPN Application Documentation
CPC prepares and manages the documentation required for NPN submission on behalf of clients.
• Ingredient lists, source details, and specifications
• Product formulation details and dosage rationale
• Manufacturing and quality information aligned with GMP expectations
• Supporting documentation for safety, efficacy, and conditions of use
Applications are prepared to meet the requirements of Health Canada and the NNHPD review process.
Regulatory Submission Support
CPC supports the submission and review process through to decision.
• Submission of NPN applications on behalf of clients
• Technical support for information requests or clarifications during review
• Documentation updates or adjustments when required
This hands-on support helps shorten timelines and reduce regulatory back-and-forth.
Compliance & Audit Support
CPC provides ongoing regulatory support beyond initial approval.
• Documentation support for audits and regulatory reviews
• Change assessment when formulations, suppliers, or formats are updated
• Guidance on maintaining NPN compliance throughout the product lifecycle
This service is particularly valuable for brands entering the Canadian market, expanding product portfolios, or transitioning products from development to compliant commercialization.
Quality Testing & Quality Services
CPC provides in-house quality testing and quality support services to verify product safety, consistency, and compliance.
These services are available to support product development, manufacturing, regulatory submissions, and ongoing quality verification.
Raw Material Testing
Incoming materials are evaluated prior to use.
• Identity testing to confirm correct ingredient selection
• Impurity screening to assess contamination risk to control safety
• Potency or specification verification where applicable
These tests help ensure only qualified materials enter production.
In-Process Quality Controls
Quality controls are applied during manufacturing to monitor performance and consistency.
• Blend uniformity and fill or weight checks to support accurate dosing
• Process parameter verification during granulation, encapsulation, tableting, liquid filling, and packaging
• Environmental monitoring where required
In-process controls allow corrective action before batch completion.
Finished Product Testing
Finished products are tested prior to release.
• Identity confirmation to verify product composition
• Potency testing to support label claim accuracy
• Microbiological testing to confirm product safety
• Physical testing such as disintegration, dissolution, or viscosity, depending on format
These tests confirm products meet predefined specifications before market release.
Stability Testing
CPC supports stability programs to evaluate product performance over time.
• Real-time and accelerated stability studies based on format and formulation
• Monitoring of potency, physical characteristics, and microbiological status
Stability testing supports shelf-life determination, expiry dating, and regulatory documentation.
Quality Systems & Documentation
Quality services are supported by structured systems aligned with GMP requirements.
• Batch records and controlled documentation for traceability
• Standard operating procedures for testing, deviations, and corrective actions
• Change control processes to manage updates and improvements
These systems support consistent application of quality standards across products and production runs.
