About us
Our mission
Trophic's mission is, and always has been, to provide Canadians with premium-quality, natural nutritional supplements, as close to nature as possible, at an affordable price.
100% Canadian
We are proud to be a 100% Canadian company. Trophic manufactures, packages, and distributes all Trophic products at our state-of-the-art facility in Penticton, B.C., at the south end of the lovely Okanagan Valley. The warm, dry climate and clean air and water provide an ideal location for one of Canada's largest health supplement manufacturers.
Our history
In 1967, Sloan Alma "Al" Smith founded Trophic in Toronto as "Meta-Trophic Formulas." For three years, Al saw his company gain an increasing foothold in the Canadian health food market. Then in 1970, while vacationing with his family in the Okanagan, he realized that Penticton was where his company could flourish and grow.
How we make Trophic products
Our manufacturing procedures meet or exceed the "Good Manufacturing Practices" (GMP) guidelines set out in the Natural Health Product Directorate by Health Canada.
Purity and quality is foremost in the mind of every Trophic employee. Our manufacturing plant houses a fully equipped laboratory for on-site analysis of our supplements.
All Pure. All Quality.
Expert in researching and sourcing, we buy the best possible raw materials from the most reputable suppliers worldwide. Once the raw materials arrive at our warehouse, they are quarantined. Only after rigorous sampling and testing by our Quality Control chemists are the materials released.
During manufacturing, stringent testing continues from the mixing stage through to the finished product: Purity, quality, potency stability, size, weight, and color are all checked. Even after packaging is complete, more quality control tests are performed before products are released.
Because it's your health
For over 40 years, Trophic has stayed true to Al's mission. And we plan to keep serving Canadians with the very best in health supplements, long into the future.
