FAQs
INGREDIENTS
Where are Vykon products made?
Vykon products are produced in a Health Canada licensed lab facility based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The lab is cGMP compliant, has strict quality assurance protocols and uses third-party testing to validate the identity and purity of all ingredients.
Where do you source your raw materials?
The majority of our ingredients are sourced domestically, but also worldwide. We source ingredients outside of North America when the best manufacturers are available for a particular product. For example, when we source sea salt, it comes directly from Belgium, which not only has extremely strict manufacturing processes, but also brings a high quality product from the Mediterranean.
Is every incoming batch of raw materials tested for metals, mold, microbes & other sources of contamination?
Each batch of raw materials is tested for all the above. All of our raw materials come with a Certificate of Analysis , which has all of the test results. If we are using a new manufacturer for a product we are sourcing, we will also do a third party test for raw materials to ensure the Certificate of Analysis is exactly what it should be. If for any reason that third party test comes back with results different than what the supplier has provided on the CoA, then we will send the ingredient back and find another source.
Are all of your ingredients non-GMO or organic?
We strive to ensure we use as many certified organic ingredients as possible. Approximately 95% of our herbals are organic and if not organic then they are non-GMO. For example our kelp is knotted wrack from the North Atlantic and is certified organic, plus all of our flavourings have been hand-picked and are 100% natural. Many supplement companies use fillers and artificial flavours. We refuse to use anything artificial in any Vykon product.
Where do you source your Marine Collagen from?
Our hydrolyzed marine collagen is from wild caught fish from the East Coast right here in Canada. It is the highest quality available as many hydrolyzed collagens from fish are made from farmed tilapia.
Special Note: Since the collagen is made from wild caught fish, we cannot guarantee that the product is shellfish free.
What if I have allergies to Dairy, Shellfish or Fish?
We do have three potential major allergens in our facility:
- Dairy – In our New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate
- Shellfish – In our Glucosamine Sulfate
- Fish – In our Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen
We do have rice in our facility in the form of our rice protein.
We cannot guarantee that our products have not come in contact with these allergens as they are in the same facility. However, we take allergies very seriously, and take all precautions to minimize cross contamination in our lab.

htma
What is HTMA?
HTMA, (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis), is a non-invasive diagnostic test that determines mineral patterns within the body. Unlike bloodwork, it reveals 3-4 months of biochemical activity in the body. Hair is used for mineral testing because of its very nature. Hair is formed from clusters of specialized cells that make up the hair follicle. During the growth phase, the hair is exposed to the internal environment such as blood, lymph and extra-cellular fluids. As the hair continues to grow and reaches the surface of the skin, its outer layers harden, locking in the metabolic products accumulated during the period of formation.
