Metalife Review: Canadian-Made Creatine and Collagen With Published Lab Results
We looked at Metalife's creatine and collagen powders, its NPN certification and its published batch reports to see how transparent a Canadian supplement brand can be.

Supplement labels are easy to print and hard to verify, which is why transparency is the feature worth checking first. Metalife, a Vancouver brand, leads with that idea, pairing clear ingredient information with published batch reports. We looked at what that means in practice. This is not medical advice, and anyone with a health condition should talk to a doctor or pharmacist before starting a supplement.
The core range: creatine and collagen
The best sellers are a 100% pure micronized creatine monohydrate powder, offered in 100 and 200 serving sizes, and hydrolyzed collagen powders in marine and bovine versions with 66 servings per bag. Both are single-ingredient products, which makes the label simple to read and compare.
What NPN certification means
The brand states that every product meets Health Canada's Natural Product standards and carries an NPN, a Natural Product Number. That is a regulatory listing rather than a promise of results, but it does mean the product has been reviewed under Canadian rules, which is a useful baseline when comparing brands.
Lab results you can look up
The homepage links directly to a lab results page, and the company describes third-party testing and batch-level reports. Checking the report for the batch you actually bought is the strongest way to confirm what is in the tub, and few brands make that as easy to find.
- Best for: shoppers who want simple, single-ingredient staples and value documented testing
- Check first: confirm the serving size and your intended dose before you buy, and read the batch report
- Availability: some formats, like the bovine collagen, were sold out when we looked
“A supplement brand earns trust by letting you check the lab report, not by promising results.”
Our verdict
Metalife's selling point is transparency: simple ingredients, an NPN claim and batch reports you can read for yourself. We have not tested the products ourselves, so we cannot speak to taste, mixability or effects; for shoppers who care about verifiable quality, it is a brand worth a look.
What we liked
- + Published batch reports let you check test results instead of taking the label on trust
- + Made in Vancouver, with products stated to meet Health Canada's Natural Product standards (NPN)
- + Single-ingredient staples like micronized creatine and hydrolyzed collagen keep labels easy to read
Where it falls short
- − Some sizes were sold out at the time of writing, so check availability
- − Supplements are not a substitute for diet or medical advice, and results vary by person
