100% Canadian products
All our products are 100% made in Canada. We work with local suppliers to support the Canadian economy.
Available in most pharmacies and natural health stores in Quebec and other Canadian provinces, and on our website.
Step 1
Collecte
The Arnica Montana flowers we use are picked in the mountainous region of Spain. This flower thrives in fertile, acidic and very moist soil, which allows Arnica Montana to draw all its benefits from it. It is then cut and dried before being ground into a very fine powder, which is then infused to effectively extract the plant's active ingredients.
Step 2
Transformation
Santrel works closely with the manufacturer Les Plastiques J.E.T.S., who is part of the same subsidiary, to ensure the traceability, consistency and high quality of all the products it distributes. This alliance means we can be more proactive in meeting market demands and continue to innovate.
Step 3
Distribution
Our sales team continues to work hard to increase the presence of Novarnica on the shelves of your favourite stores. Available in most pharmacies and health food shops in Quebec as well as many other Canadian provinces.
Arnica Montana
The Arnica Montana flowers we use are picked in the mountainous region of Spain. This flower thrives in fertile, acidic and very moist soil, which allows Arnica Montana to draw all its benefits from it. When picking, it is important to pick only flowers that are fully open, as it is at this stage of flowering that its active ingredients are most concentrated.
It is then cut and dried before being ground into a very fine powder, which is then infused to effectively extract the plant's active ingredients. The infusion creates a very fine powder of Arnica, which is then meticulously filtered to remove all impurities and obtain a pure, concentrated tincture. It is in this form that Arnica Montana can share its soothing and repairing properties with you.
The fine powder manufacturing process is carried out right here in Canada, so we have complete control over this rigorous process and can guarantee optimum quality for each of our products.
