For more than a decade, Viva Pharmaceutical Inc. of Richmond, British Columbia has created natural products and ingredients aimed at helping consumers get and stay healthy. The key to achieving this goal lies in Viva’s dedication to quality - in its research, development and manufacturing.

Research and Development

At Viva, research and development is not just an academic exercise – it is all about developing – and bringing to market – products that will make an important and positive difference in people’s lives. The company hires smart people in its research and development group and gives them the tools to do a great job. Viva's eminently qualified team of research scientists carry out extensive, on-going research in how best to exploit the very best natural ingredients to help consumers gain, maintain and enjoy good health.

The manufacturing of pharmaceutical products – which have demonstrated or have the potential for reducing the symptoms of illness – are a high priority for the company. Viva boosts a strong record of accomplishment in basic nutritional and pharmaceutical research.

Products and Manufacturing

Viva’s products – and the processes used to make them – are designed to meet national standards for pharmaceutical or nutraceutical manufacturing. Since February 2000, Viva has been inspected and assessed by government officials to be compliant with the requirements of Canadian GMP pharmaceutical manufacturing. Also, since March 2004, the company has been a compliant Canadian GMP manufacture of natural health products – as per the requirements of the Natural Health Products Directorate and its enforcement body.

The company designs its health solutions so that it can deliver them in every form used by consumers. So Viva Pharmaceutical manufactures products in various dosage forms - including Softgels, Tablets, Hard Capsules, Granular, as well as Liquids and Creams. Viva Pharmaceutical's use of advanced technology and its expertise in product development also mean that it is able to provide custom formulation and manufacturing for other companies.

Serving the Industry and Consumers

Viva Pharmaceutical is committed to ensuring that its products and ingredients reach the people they are designed to help. As a result, the company provides ingredients and custom formulations to other manufacturers - as well as offering "private label" manufacturing of natural and pharmaceutical products.
