About IHR Magazine — Canada’s Natural Health Trade Magazine
IHR Magazine is Canada’s natural health trade magazine, serving the retailers, brand managers, buyers and manufacturers who drive the country’s natural health, supplement and nutraceutical market. We cover the business of natural health — the regulatory decisions from Health Canada that reshape what brands can claim, the merchandising strategies that turn shelf space into sales, and the deals, launches and appointments that signal where the category is heading next.
Written for the trade rather than the end consumer, IHR Magazine translates clinical research, NNHPD policy and market data into practical intelligence that independent health food stores, pharmacies and grocery buyers can act on. Our business news and health news coverage spans ingredient science and emerging categories, retail execution and store operations, and the competitive moves shaping Canada’s independent and banner retail landscape.
As Canada’s natural health trade magazine, our mission is simple: give the people who sell natural health products the intelligence they need to buy smarter, merchandise better and stay ahead of regulation. Learn how the IHR retailer network connects independent stores into a single fulfilment platform, or consult Health Canada’s Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate for the regulations behind the headlines.
