  • Guest Bio: Probiotic pioneer, Natasha Trenev, has significantly contributed to the evolution of the probiotics industry. Prior to her work in the field, consumers had very limited knowledge of the supplement and its many benefits. Natasha’s extensive experience and knowledge of the industry began with her family’s 750-year history producing the most beneficial yogurt prized by the royal family of Yugoslavia.

    After graduating from UCLA in 1970, a decade of research led to Natasha’s development of the first revolutionary method of producing an effective and scientifically validated single strain probiotic bacteria product. Her efforts helped to establish the entire probiotics category in North America, Australia, England, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
    Natasha founded Natren in 1982 with her husband and since then has been dedicated to providing consumers worldwide with premium probiotics that promote the overall health and wellness of the body. The company manufactures probiotics for men, women, children, and pets, and offers both dairy and vegan options. Natren’s wide variety of premium and unique probiotic products, which target gut health, intestinal health, digestive health, and more, are available in both powder and capsule forms.

    As a developmental scientist, Natasha has spent years studying the effects of beneficial bacteria and has written several books on the subject. Today, her reference library is the world’s largest private repository on probiotics, referenced and recommended by prominent research scientists and medical schools.
