Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions About Regulatory Affairs
Technical clarity on supplement registration, timelines, and export documentation.
Timelines depend on the submission category. Compendial (Class 1) applications following established Health Canada monographs are generally processed within 60 days. Non-compendial (Class 2 and Class 3) custom formulations requiring specialized safety and efficacy data review typically take between 90 and 180 days. Our thorough pre-submission verification ensures complete documentation to eliminate deficiency notices.
Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), dietary supplements do not require pre-market approval from the US FDA. However, brand owners and contract manufacturers must comply with mandatory facility registration, 21 CFR Part 111 cGMP standards, accurate Supplement Facts labelling, and submit 30-day post-market notifications for all Structure/Function claims.
Yes. We prepare comprehensive export dossiers for over 40 destination markets. This includes food supplement notification files for EU member states (under Directive 2002/46/EC), product registration filings for the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP), Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) registration, and Australian TGA complementary medicine listings.
Every commercial production run is accompanied by an audit-ready compliance package: Certificate of Analysis (COA), Certificate of Free Sale (FSC), Certificate of Origin (COO), certified GMP copies, Allergen & Non-GMO Statements, and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) to guarantee efficient clearance at destination customs.
Our regulatory team evaluates peer-reviewed clinical studies and scientific literature to support targeted health claims. We verify active marker concentrations, bio-equivalent dosing, and global regulatory guidelines (such as Health Canada NHP monographs, US FDA structure/function guidance, and EFSA opinions) to ensure all marketing copy remains fully defensible.
