What Omega Alpha does

Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a Toronto-based, privately held manufacturer of all-natural health supplements founded in 1992 by Dr. Gordon Chang. The company produces hundreds of formulations across three primary end-markets: equine (horses), pet (dogs and cats), and human health, organized into five operating divisions — Consumer Human & Pet Health, Equine Health, Professional Alpha Science Laboratories, Professional Alpha Vet Science, and Custom Manufacturing. All products are manufactured at a 40,000 square foot GMP-certified facility in Toronto that achieved site licensing more than a decade before Health Canada required it, and are formulated in-house by a cross-disciplinary scientific team using all-natural, human-grade ingredients subject to on-site and third-party laboratory testing.

The company operates a strict B2B go-to-market model, selling exclusively through authorized retail stores (health food stores, pharmacies, mass market), licensed veterinarians, and drop-ship retailers across the USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom — it does not sell directly to the general public. Wholesale pricing is one-time/perpetual license with a Minimum Advertised Price policy, free shipping on orders over $100 within the Continental US, and a Volume Discount Program. The OASIS (Omega Alpha Scientific Institute of Supplements) education division, established in 2008, provides free product training to retail staff, continuing education for natural health professionals, and consumer webinars as a pull-marketing layer that reinforces channel relationships.

The product portfolio spans joint support (Sinew-X, GlucosaPet), respiratory health (Equine Lung Flush, Respi-Free, LungTone), digestive and detoxification (Gastra-FX, RegenerEQ, LiverTone, KidneyTone), immune support (Immune Plus, HealthyPet), behavioral/calming (Chill, E-Z Rest), performance and recovery (EnduraStress, D-Ribose), and multi-vitamin/mineral formulations. Competitive positioning rests on GMP pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing, science-backed proprietary formulations, liquid and capsule formats positioned for superior absorption, and clean-label positioning (non-GMO, free from dairy, corn, wheat, gluten, and soy). The company is entirely founder-owned, with no external institutional investment or parent company, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
