Our History
In 1984, David and Elyse Chapman—partners in both life and business—channeled their entrepreneurial vision and business expertise into creating a company that would help transform the Canadian health industry. Their shared dream gave rise to Purity Life, built on David’s vision: “empowering people to create well-being in their lives.”
For over four decades, this vision has been the driving force behind Purity Life’s growth into Canada’s leading supplier of natural health products. From our headquarters in Acton, Ontario, and expanded operations in Vancouver, Calgary, and Laval, we proudly serve more than 10,000 health food stores, pharmacies, and practitioner accounts nationwide.
What began as a small distributor has flourished into Canada’s largest distributor of supplements and health and beauty products—a success story built on a steadfast commitment to customer and client satisfaction.
Today, Purity Life remains privately owned by our President and CEO, Matthew James, in partnership with Banyan Capital Partners. Supported by over 200 dedicated team members across Canada, we continue to champion health and well-being, staying true to the vision that started it all.
