Natural Products Expo West ran March 8 – 12 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif. The largest natural products trade show in North America draws tens of thousands to see the latest offerings in the health and wellness space. Thanks to the Canadian attendees and exhibitors who sent us photos, and a special shoutout to Brian Jackson, managing director of CPG Brand Management, who sent us many of these images.
