A Burnaby-based natural health product company has been named one of Canadian Business and Maclean’s Growth 500 ranking of Canada’s fastest-growing companies.

WithinUs Natural Health, which was founded in 2013, placed 65th on the annual list of 500 businesses, with a reported 1,378 per cent growth over five years.

The company is noted in the ranking to have 10 employees and raked in between $2 million and $5 million in revenue in 2018.

WithinUs  develops anti-aging products using marine collagen peptides in dietary supplements.

The wholesale and distribution company began as a product made for friends and family, said CEO Tami Nasu in a news release, but word of mouth spread the customer base quickly.

That includes celebrity endorsements, including from Kate Hudson, Debra Messing and Michelle Obama.

“What is incredibly special about these accolades is that they are completely unsolicited,” Nasu sai. “They are simply people who love our products and want to share that with others.”

Five other Burnaby businesses ranked on the list, including:

  • #226: Greenlight Innovation (406 per cent growth)
  • #235: Traction on Demand (391%)
  • #287: CPE systems (277%)
  • #357: Promag Enviro Systems (196%)
  • #484: LMI Technologies (107%)
