In the realm of health and wellness, there are individuals whose dedication makes a lasting impact. Natasha Trenev, often referred to as "The Mother of Probiotics," is one such person. As the Founder and President of Natren, Natasha has played a pivotal role in shaping the probiotics industry and continues to enhance our understanding and appreciation of these beneficial microorganisms.
Natasha's journey into the world of probiotics is deeply rooted in her family's 750-year legacy of producing fermented foods and shipping them across Western Europe in the early 1900s. This rich heritage laid the foundation for Natasha's lifelong passion and dedication to beneficial bacteria. Her work in the field began long before the term "probiotics" became widely known.
After graduating from UCLA in 1970, she dedicated a decade to rigorous research. This research led to the development of a scientifically validated single-strain probiotic bacteria product, establishing the groundwork for the probiotics category as we know it today. In 1982, she introduced probiotic supplements to North America with Natren’s first freeze-dried probiotic called Superdophilus, which contained the DDS-1 super strain of L. acidophilus.
Natren’s flagship product, Healthy Trinity is unique, using three super strain probiotic bacteria: L. acidophilus NAS super strain, B. bifidum Malyoth super strain, and L. bulgaricus LB51 super strain – all grown on a non-dairy base. These precision probiotic bacteria are encapsulated in a two-piece hard gel capsule to deliver the bacteria alive and active past stomach acid and bile tolerant to the correct location in the human GI tract. Natren’s intelligent probiotic strains are chosen because they evolved with homo sapiens and are safe at any level.
For over 40 years, Natasha has been a dedicated advocate for the proper selection and use of precision probiotic beneficial bacteria. She believes that such supplementation can significantly impact every aspect of human health—physical, mental, emotional, and even skin and organ health. In her practice, probiotics are the cornerstone of optimal health, a foundation upon which well-being is built.
Natren represents Natasha’s continued commitment to scientific rigor, innovation, and an unwavering dedication to improving human health through the power of probiotics.
