Are peptides legal in Canada?
Research peptides are legal to sell and to purchase in Canada when supplied strictly for research use and when no medicinal claims are made. The framework that governs this is the Food and Drugs Act and its associated regulations. Under that legislation, a product cannot be sold for human therapeutic use without authorization from Health Canada. Compounds offered for research and development use, with no medicinal claims and no intent for human consumption, fall outside the medicines authorization regime.
Healius Peptides sells research-grade chemical compounds. Health Canada does not authorize Healius to manufacture or supply medicinal products for human use, and no product in the catalog is intended for human or veterinary consumption. This research-only stance is the legal basis for Canadian supply and applies to other compliant research peptide suppliers in Canada.
Canadian customers are responsible for ensuring that their intended use of any compound complies with the Food and Drugs Act, any applicable provincial rules, and any applicable institutional rules. The position taken on this website and on every Healius product page is for research and development use only.
