ABOUT
With a rich history dating back to 1974, Laboratoire Léo Désilets is one of the leading manufacturers of natural health products. The company's journey began when Léo Désilets, a passionate nature enthusiast, encountered Indigenous people from the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. They shared with him the remarkable therapeutic virtues of fir gum, a traditional remedy. Inspired by this discovery, Mr. Désilets began collecting and distributing this valuable remedy to local pharmacies, marking the beginning of Léo Désilets Maître Herboriste.
Over the years, the company gained a strong reputation and emerged as a Canadian natural health products market leader. In 1997, Léo Désilets passed the leadership to his sons, Sylvain and Gérald, along with Benoît Fortin, an accountant and sales manager. Together, they have continued to grow the company, expanding its product offerings. Today, Léo Désilets Maître Herboriste manufactures and distributes over sixty premium natural products across Canada and employs a team of 35 dedicated individuals.
The company is renowned for its unwavering commitment to quality and effectiveness, ensuring all products are GMO and pesticide-free. Léo Désilets Maître Herboriste's mission is to promote a healthy, active lifestyle through natural remedies. In addition to its focus on health, the company is deeply committed to reducing its environmental footprint.

Through these comprehensive efforts, Léo Désilets Maître Herboriste remains a key player in the Canadian natural health products sector.
