Sire Bioscience Inc.: Fusion Nutrition Inc. Files Four New NPN Applications with Health Canada
Mississauga, ON, August 24, 2020 – Fusion Nutrition Inc. (“FUSION”), a leading sports nutrition company founded in 1998 and a recent acquisition of Sire Bioscience Inc. (“SIRE”) (CSE:SIRE) (OTC:BLLXF) (FSE:BR1B) (“Sire” or the “Company”) has filed four new NPN applications with Health Canada, strengthening an already-robust development pipeline.
What is an NPN?
To be legally sold in Canada, all natural health products, which includes the sports nutrition category, must have a product license before they can be sold. To secure a license, applicants must provide detailed information about the product to Health Canada, including medicinal ingredients, source, dose, potency, non-medicinal ingredients, and recommended use.
Once Health Canada has assessed a product and decided it is safe, effective, and of high quality, it issues a product license along with an eight-digit Natural Product Number (NPN), which must appear on the label. This number lets the public know the product has been reviewed and approved by Health Canada. In a market flooded with health supplements – some legitimate, some not – it is also an added assurance of quality.
FUSION currently holds 30 NPNs, which are on the market today. The addition of these four will greatly support the brand strategy and architecture.
Formulated by Ben Pakulski, Mindset & Physical Performance Expert
These recent filings were formulated by SIRE’s Director of Science, Ben Pakulski. Ben’s profile as an IFBB professional and his pursuit of cutting-edge supplementation have strengthened FUSION’s research and development department.
“These high-specification products will provide an ultra-premium supplement offering in the field of optimal human performance,” Pakulski states. “When Health Canada approves these offerings for sale in Canada, I’ll share my rationale for their development and how they’ll help athletes outside the current market offerings.”
Adapting to Meet Evolving Consumer Needs
FUSION’s customer base is ever growing and evolving. To stay relevant and keep pace with its audience, FUSION is continually researching new products and ingredients. With these recent NPN filings, FUSION will expand its already-comprehensive portfolio to include more supplements with unique properties – i.e. greater choice for consumers.
For people who already use and love FUSION products, this will drive even greater brand loyalty. Meanwhile, the buzz around the new offerings will also help FUSION reach new audiences looking for safe, effective products legally backed by Health Canada.
In short, FUSION’s expanded portfolio will be a win-win; beneficial for both consumers and the company. Its focus on innovation helped establish FUSION in 1998, and will continue to set the brand apart in the years to come.
