In a world often divided between prevention and protection, true health demands a broader lens. What we ingest (supplements) and what shields us externally (PPE) are two sides of the same coin: the care of the individual, society, and planet. At JY Care, we believe health innovation must be holistic, bridging our deep competence in natural health products (NHP) with our leadership in sustainable personal protective equipment (PPE).
This integration isn’t abstract, it’s operational. You can see it in our ISO-certified facilities, Health Canada NPN and MDEL compliance, and the efficiency gains of producing within Canada - faster approvals, shorter logistics, and fully auditable documentation. Whether it’s a vitamin gummy or a medical mask, every product is built for one standard: proof over promises.
This commitment, to regulatory integrity, environmental responsibility, scientific rigor, and public trust, is what connects everything we make and everything we stand for.
JY Care doesn’t just do supplements and masks. We build them side by side, leveraging shared infrastructure, cross-disciplinary R&D, and unified values.
Because of this holistic approach, we can talk about provenance, compliance, claims, and lifecycle impacts across both sides of the business.
Holistic innovation isn’t a slogan, it’s the way our operations work. When product development, compliance, and production are aligned under one roof, quality moves faster, traceability runs deeper, and trust scales further.
If supplements are made with weak transparency and PPE is developed without lifecycle thinking, you get half-solutions, and risk undermining trust. We believe the future demands integrated systems that speak with coherence, not silos.
PPE waste has become a mounting global challenge. Conventional disposable masks can persist for centuries, which is why our move into biodegradable and bio-additive masks represents a meaningful step forward. On the supplement side, we extend that same mindset to our manufacturing partnerships, offering businesses the ability to choose sustainable packaging, responsibly sourced ingredients, and cleaner production methods that align with their environmental goals.
Note: In Canada, labelling claims like “biodegradable,” “compostable,” and “recyclable” are increasingly regulated. As of now, products labeled as degradable or compostable must rely on third-party certification, or else such claims may be prohibited under proposed plastic labeling rules.
Additionally, Canada’s Competition Bureau has released updated guidelines for environmental claims as part of the amended Competition Act, raising the bar on accuracy, substantiation, and avoiding greenwashing.
These regulatory shifts make it essential that all claims, whether about a mask’s degradability or a supplement’s “clean formula,” are backed by data, traceability, and transparency.
By aligning NHP and PPE operations, we can streamline raw material sourcing, quality audits, supplier relationships, and logistics, helping buffer against disruptions. Local, Canadian manufacturing adds further stability.
A brand known only for supplements may struggle to gain trust in clinical PPE. Conversely, a PPE company may seem disconnected from consumer health. Our dual expertise lets us credibly engage with both institutional buyers and wellness brands, creating partnerships that require both nutritional and protective competencies.
Health innovation needs partners who don’t see limits between prevention and protection. If you’re a wellness brand, institutional buyer, or regulator looking for credible, Canadian-made, sustainability-forward solutions, JY Care is ready to collaborate.
