Natural Health Products

Natural health products (NHP) are derived from natural sources and are often used to either sustain or improve health. Commonly derived from plants, NHPs can also involve derivatives from animals, microorganisms, or marine origins. API empowers NHP innovators by providing services designed to meet the diverse needs of the life sciences industry.
