Health Canada is warning Canadians not to purchase or use ‘LifeGive’ health products, which claim to treat diseases such as cancer and dementia. These goods are not authorized for sale in Canada, as they have not been reviewed by Health Canada for safety, quality or effectiveness.
Health Canada believes ‘LifeGive’ health products have been or will be promoted by Hippocrates Health Institute at several events held at locations in Ontario this month. Currently, the organization is working with the Canada Border Services Agency to stop the importation of any shipments of ‘LifeGive’ health products from entering Canada. Should this company continue to sell unauthorized health products, Health Canada will take appropriate action.
Before use, always verify that products have been assessed by Health Canada for safety, effectiveness and quality. Health products that have been authorized for sale by Health Canada will have an eight-digit Drug Identification Number (DIN), a Natural Product Number (NPN) or a Homeopathic Medicine Number (DIN-HM) on the label.
Additionally, you may verify whether products have been authorized for sale by searching the Drug Product Database and the Licensed Natural Health Product Database on Health Canada’s website.
