Standardized botanical extracts engineered to align with Health Canada's rigorous quality requirements.
The Canadian marketplace presents a unique, high-barrier landscape for functional ingredients. Under the stewardship of the Health Canada Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD), any substance categorized as a Natural Health Product (NHP) requires a rigorous product licensing process to obtain a Natural Product Number (NPN) before commercial distribution. This regulatory framework demands absolute trace-level transparency, strict verification of botanical species, and validated quantification of active markers.
As a leading partner serving Canadian manufacturers across Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, and beyond, Chengdu Chenlv Herb Co., Ltd. supplies premium botanical extracts that systematically fulfill these quality benchmarks. We ensure that our processes align with the stringent standards for raw material authentication, solvent limits, pesticide residues, and heavy metal profiles required to compile a successful Product Licence Application (PLA) in Canada.
The Canadian consumer segment is increasingly "clean label" driven. Brand owners must authenticate the origins of their ingredients to satisfy clean-label claims, Non-GMO Project verifications, and Organic equivalence certificates.
Established in 2012, Chengdu Chenlv Herb Co., Ltd. (Chenlv Herb) is an industrial-scale, high-tech enterprise dedicated to the research, development, cultivation, extraction, and global distribution of bioactive botanical ingredients and natural pharmaceutical compounds.
Headquartered in the botanical-rich Sichuan province, our state-of-the-art facility covers over 2,711 square meters of specialized extraction, concentration, purification, and drying infrastructure. We focus on active compound isolation, offering standardized and customized ingredients to the pharmaceutical, functional food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries globally.
Ensuring compliance, scalability, and performance at every stage of the formulation pipeline.
We supply plant extracts with standardized concentrations of active compounds (e.g., Sanguinarine, Salidroside, Oleuropein), ensuring batch-to-batch consistency and therapeutic efficacy.
Our technical team assists with solubility, stability, and organoleptic profiles, ensuring smooth integration into capsules, tablets, liquids, and topical creams.
Our facility operates under rigorous quality controls, offering full trace documentation, Certificate of Analysis (CoA) batches, allergen profiles, and technical datasheets.
Translating botanical molecules into target-driven market solutions for Canadian healthcare, cosmetics, and agricultural sectors.
With the grow of "food homology" and preventative wellness, our botanical extracts serve as functional raw materials for NHP dietary supplements, supporting cognitive health, immunity, metabolic balance, and stress adaptation.

Detailed technical answers addressing quality control, importation protocols, and active marker standards.
We provide complete documentation packages, including raw material specifications, Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for consecutive production batches, allergen statements, Non-GMO declarations, and BSE/TSE-free certificates. We also offer detailed process flowcharts and residual solvent reports (complying with USP <467> and EP limits) to support your Natural Product Number (NPN) licensing dossiers.
Consistency is achieved by sourcing botanical raw materials from established cultivation regions and standardizing parameters at every stage of extraction. We employ modern extraction technology, computerized low-temperature concentration processes, and automated spray drying. Every batch undergoes validation using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) or UV-Vis spectrophotometry to verify active marker compounds against established specifications.
We screen for heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) via Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), ensuring compliance with Health Canada limits. Pesticide residues are tested using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) to align with USP <561> and EP standards for clean ingredients.
Our standardized dry powdered extracts generally feature a 24-month shelf life from the date of manufacture. To preserve assay levels and minimize clumping, products should be stored in their original double polyethylene bags within sealed drums, in cool (below 25°C), dark, and low-humidity environments.
We export to major Canadian logistics hubs, including Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, utilizing sea, air, and express transport options. Our export team coordinates customs requirements, phytosanitary certificates, and tracking documents to ensure efficient clearance.
