Yes we are. Although the Herbal Magic weight loss centres closed in 2015 and 2016, Herbal Magic weight loss plans and supplements have remained available to Canadians coast to coast through our national coaching centre in Mississauga, Ontario.

You can expect to lose an average of one to two pounds per week on the Herbal Magic weight loss program. That can vary depending on your age, history, body composition, fitness level, and your overall motivation. Our coaches factor in all these elements in designing a personalized program for you.

You are welcome to visit us here in Mississauga or in the remaining two Herbal Magic locations in Burlington, ON and Stettler, AB. However, we no longer operate retail locations around the country. All our Programs are conveniently provided over the phone with your dedicated Personal Health Coach. Your personalized meal plans are sent via email and we deliver your Program supplements via Canada Post with free shipping. Our new remote delivery approach has been proven even more effective than the in-person format! Call us at 1-800-852-5401 or send us an email to get started.

Herbal Magic personalizes each program to the individual needs. Total investment is a maximum of $298.00 per month and a minimum of $278.00 per month (for longer term programs). The monthly price includes unlimited coaching, tailored meal planning, and all of the Core products, which are also tailored to the health of each client.

Just like a personal trainer, our coaches are armed with knowledge and experience that help keep you on the path to success and in turn you’ll see results that last. Losing weight changes your body—outside and inside—and we make sure your body gets extra support to keep all your systems running smoothly with our natural health products. Finally, we customize your menu to cater to your body and your taste buds. Each person's weight loss journey is unique. We understand this where as other weight loss programs use the same method for everyone. We get personal!

Yes, Natural Health Products (NHPs) work at delivering health benefits. Most ingredients used in NHPs have been studied scientifically and the ones that haven’t have a long history (thousands of years!) of use in traditional medicine. On top of this, before any health benefits can be listed on product labels, Health Canada must first review the evidence associated with the product combination and approve the claims.

Herbal Magic products do not contain any controversial ingredients like ephedrine or sibutramine. In order to be sold in Canada, Natural Health Products (NHPs) require licenses (NPNs) issued by Health Canada.

All of our products are made using high-quality ingredients and have been third-party tested to ensure this. They only contain ingredients found to be safe and effective by Health Canada. Further, before any of our products are released for sale, our manufacturers’ testing documents are thoroughly reviewed and approved in house.

No! We offer real food, for real people, living real lives. You don’t need to buy special food on the Herbal Magic program. We’re not selling processed or frozen meals.

Our product line has been curated to ensure that you get the support you need, while staying in the appropriate dosage ranges for each ingredient and preventing negative ingredient interactions. Our products each act in a different way to help you achieve your goals. Please be sure to let your PHC know if you are taking any NHPs that aren’t made by Herbal Magic so that they can let you know if it is safe for you to continue to take those on top of your Herbal Magic products, or if it is best that you discontinue those products while you are on Program. To ensure your safety, no additional non-Herbal Magic NHPs should be taken while on Program unless this is specifically advised by your doctor or health care practitioner.

Detailed information on each of the ingredients in Herbal Magic products can be found on our Product Monographs. Please ask your PHC for a monograph if you would like to learn more about our products and ingredients.

As per Health Canada regulations, each ingredient in NHPs must be clearly listed on product labels. Canadian NHP labels cannot use vague terms like “blend” without also listing each ingredient individually as well. Every consumer can know exactly what is in each product by reading product labels. Ingredients in licensed NHPs are definitely safe. In order for products to receive licenses in the form of NPNs, companies must submit evidence to Health Canada proving that each ingredient is safe at the products’ recommended daily dosage.

At Herbal Magic, diabetics are welcome to follow our programs and eat real food. When you lose weight, you can improve your blood pressure, blood sugars, and overall cholesterol and lower your risk for heart disease. Some type 2 diabetes sufferers are even able to come off insulin and diabetes pills once they lose weight. Like any other weight loss program, you should always talk to your health care provider before starting.

We’ll help you eat healthy while you feed your baby – to get you out of your pregnancy clothes and into your skinny jeans in no time.

As part of the Health Products and Food Branch of Health Canada, the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate (NNHPD) is the regulating authority over all NHP sales in Canada. Their role is to ensure that Canadians have ready access to natural health products that are safe, effective, and of high quality while respecting freedom of choice and philosophical and cultural diversity. The NNHPD assesses all NHPs before letting them be sold in Canada. They also check that NHPs are properly manufactured (without contamination or incorrect ingredients), and conduct post-market monitoring to make sure that NHP Regulations are being followed.

An NPN, or Natural Product Number license, is granted to products that meet Health Canada’s strict standards for safety, efficacy, and quality. Natural Health Products cannot be sold in Canada unless they have received NPNs. In order for products to be granted NPNs, Health Canada must review and approve submitted supportive evidence. This review process often takes 6 months!
You can identify licensed natural health products by looking for the eight-digit Natural Product Number (NPN) or Homeopathic Medicine Number (DIN-HM) on the product label. To learn more about Natural Health Product regulation in Canada, click here.
