ACPN (The Association of Certified Professional Nutritionists) is a Canadian Federal Registered Non-Profit organization. It is an independent, impartial, and professional association that meets the professional standards for Holo-Nutrition Health Management, and is guided by the innovative science regime – Holo-Health Sciences (agriculture, food, nutrition, life and other health-related sciences). ACPN is responsible for accreditation and certification of Certified Professional Nutritionists.
As an independent third-party organization, ACPN does not represent any manufacturer, nor does it manufacture or sell any products. In May 2017, the ACPN American joined, and in June 2017, the ACPN Hong Kong joined. These three parties are collectively known as the “The International Association of Certified Professional Nutritionists”.
In the era of product, information and knowledge explosion, ACPN acts as a “Collaborative Channel” that provides scientific and applicable knowledge of food, natural health products and health science to enlighten the public. ACPN will publish the world’s research results on food and dietary supplements to help consumers make informed decisions, choose the best nutritious products and thereby improve the quality of life.
Prior to the establishment of ACPN, the world lacked a professional organization to bridge the gap between academia and the health industry to consumers.
With a profound understanding of the market and scientific practices, ACPN is dedicated to working diligently with academia and the health-care industry to innovate and develop a practical, international health management platform. The ultimate goals are to bridge the gap between these groups and the consumer to open up new markets and create more job opportunities. The projected outcome is to reduce health risks and improve overall public health.

ACPN aims to provide the public with professional Holo-Nutrition Health Management services and become their most trustworthy partner.
ACPN is creating a “Collaborative Channel” which connects and provides the services for nutritionists, academia, the health industry, consumers and government public health agencies through the international health management practical platform built by the ACPN & partners.
1. ACPN will leverage this channel to enlighten the public on scientific and applicable knowledge and practice on food, natural health products, and health science which will enhance health management practices. Additionally, the organization will publish the world’s research results on food and dietary supplements, under the guidance of professionals.
2. ACPN will empower consumers to make informed decisions in the era of product, information and knowledge explosion, and develop a health management plan that suits them; then they can choose suitable nutritious and healthy products, and subsequently improve the quality of life.
3. Healthcare professionals will get help on health management solution from ACPN platform.
4. The academic circles will receive feedback on the practice and application of health sciences, facilitate innovation and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, in order to serve consumers better.
5. Similarly, the health industries will receive feedback on the use of health products, its efficacy, etc., to improve the quality of products.
6. The public health agencies will receive feedback for public health for a better health management from Micro to Macro.
7. Through feedback on the health needs of consumers, we will collaborate to create a more comprehensive public health and health management service system, thereby helping to improve overall public health and create “smarter communities”.
Canada has abundant resources and advanced talents in health sciences and health industry. Thus, the Country is well-positioned to provide a dynamic science and talent foundation to support the development of a scientific practice of “health management.” After several years of intense work, ACPN has gained tremendous insight into the needs of the international market; they effectively connected the resources of Canada and China through innovative global health management platforms.
After observing the immense value it created in the public health sector, numerous health institutions and universities from China have joined ACPN.
Presently, ACPN’s corporation in China mainly fall into the following two categories: health education and health industry cooperation, which will connect consumers through the global Practical Health Management Platform and provide consumer with “ Holo-Nutrition Health
ACPN’s Creation and Innovation
Threats, Cooperation, Transformation, Innovation, Business Opportunity & Sustainable Development
Since 2009, professionals representing nutrition and health industries began to pay more attention to public health to determine the underlying factors behind the health crisis. The time for action to improve the international market has arrived; it’s time to inject financial resources and human capital to transform the crisis into business opportunities.
After years of investigative, research and visits to several economically developed countries (MEDC), we officially registered ACPN in March 2016; the organization effectively connects the resources of Canada and China.
How we will accomplish this is reflected below:
1. Industrial revolution and health threats
In the process of “speed” and “production”, we began to face changes in food safety and nutritional value; this nutrition imbalance can lead to a serious disease…
For more than 100 years, “Sciences” have helped us pursue and achieve “production speed” and “high production”. Over time, we have begun to address food safety and nutrition balance. The body has endured many internal changes due to the development of the industry; necessary nutrients have been replaced by invisible, unknown substances. As more unidentified chemicals invade the body, the nutritional value of food diminishes; these alterations often give rise to all types of diseases…
The following picture reveals the breakdown of plant growth through its life cycle:
2. Development and a need for a new industry
Social development and scientific development have heightened the public’s need for transparency, additional nutritional values, convenient and time-saving formats. We now see new market gaps, a new social division of labor, along with many new industries, professions and platforms. For example, there are now employment opportunities for: nutritionists, health managers, customer assistants, Marketing Assistants, Management positions, Health Management Centers, Practice Training, Industry Support Platform…
3. Cooperation changes distances, bringing innovation and employment. Cooperation with academia and health industry to change the distance between health industry and consumers, bringing innovation:
a. Scientific innovation: scientific crossover and practice innovation in health sciences
b. Services innovation: scientific innovation drives innovation in holo-nutrition health management services, which leads to business model innovation
c. Business model innovation: create a health management practice platform, innovate more division of labor, more job opportunities…
4. Innovative economic development model led by science and education and sustainable development plan.
Creating a new economic development model led by science and education will help:
a. Eliminate health threats
b. Turn threats into business opportunities
c. Transform the power of sciences into the power of life
d. At the same time bring: sustainable development of safety, health, science, industry, healthy diet and ecological environment
Simply put, please see the graphic below:
Through the connection of academia, health industry and consumers, collaborative innovation, scientific practice, under the scientific guidance, improve and help healthy eating and sustainable development.
From threats, cooperation, transformation, innovation, to a sustainable development, we can see the changes as shown in the following figure:
