Natren Inc. was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in Westlake Village, California. To manufacture Natren's award-winning probiotic products, founder and president of Natren, Natasha Trenev, relies on decades of experience and a centuries-old history spanning since when her family supplied yogurt to the royal court of King Peter II of Yugoslavia.[1]
All Natren’s probiotic products contain either L. acidophilus DDS-1 (dairy products), L. acidophilus NAS (non-dairy products), B. bifidum Malyoth, L. bulgaricus LB-51, and/or B. infantis NLS (all of these are considered proprietary super strains available only from Natren). Natren products are available as oil-matrix capsules, freeze-dried powders (loose or encapsulated), or chewables. Each capsule of Natren’s flagship product, Healthy Trinity, contains 30 billion CFUs (colony forming units). Natren offers both vegan and vegetarian probiotic options.
Natren has an International Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification from Australia’s TGA Agency (Therapeutic Goods Administration); one of the most difficult and rigorous independent third-party GMP certifications to get. The manufacturing and production facility in Westlake Village, CA is considered pharmaceutical grade.
