"We are thrilled that our unique pain relief formula based on Ayurvedic principles is now approved by Health Canada," says Penny White, CEO of Better Plant. "This allows us to sell and distribute the product ourselves with the potential to white label the product with other strategic partners and brands."

All-natural health products sold in Canada require premarket approval. The health claim that was approved for Urban Juve's pain balm efficacy is: "temporarily relieves back aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with one or more of the following: simple backache, lumbago, strains and sprains (involving muscles, tendons, and/or ligaments), and arthritis."

"One has to think one step ahead to anticipate the challenges for regulatory approvals of NHP products," says Bhavna Solecki Director of Product Research for Better Plant. "We have been successful obtaining multiple NHP approvals, which we are very proud of, considering the required health claim substantiation, theoretical product review, scientific literature review and product classification."

Better Plant's pain balm uses a synergetic and proprietary blend of plant-based ingredients. Menthol crystals act as an anti-irritant and provide a heating/cooling effect by sending a signal to the brain which interprets the feeling as cold, relieving the uncomfortable heat of inflammation.

Some studies estimate that up to 40% of the population suffers from chronic pain. Arthritis is the most prevalent health condition in Canada, and its most common form is osteoarthritis which is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Other common causes of chronic pain include gout, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, lupus and carpal tunnel syndrome which is increasingly affecting youth, from excessive typing and texting.

According to a report by BCC Research, the global market for pain management will grow from nearly USD$36.1 billion in 2017 to USD$52.0 billion by 2022, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6% for the period of 2017-2022.
