(HealthNewsDigest.com) - WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., – Credited with introducing natural, Bulgarian-style yogurt into the American diet nearly half a century ago, Natasha Trenev is today arguably the world’s foremost expert on probiotics, the “good bug” bacteria born out of yogurt that continues to make news headlines internationally.

Natasha has written two books on probiotics, referencing hundreds of studies and clinical trials, has produced an informative DVD series, and has lectured to health professionals around the world. Her probiotic production standards were incorporated into the United States Congressional Record and are currently cited as Probiotic Industry Standards.

Natasha’s wealth of knowledge is no better realized than in her company, Natren, and in its flagship probiotic supplement, Healthy Trinity. A breakthrough in probiotic technology, Health Trinity is the first to introduce a revolutionary, micro-enrobing delivery system: a hard gel capsule in which not one, but three super strains of probiotic bacteria are suspended in sunflower oil and vitamin E to keep the bacteria separate, noncompetitive and protected from gastric digestive juices for optimum absorption.

“The three strains of bacteria in Health Trinity have been exhaustively researched and documented to assist all aspects of digestion,” says Natasha Trenev. The strains that make up Healthy Trinity are L. acidophilus, NAS super strain, to regulate the small intestine, B. bifidum, Malyoth super strain to regulate the large intestine and L. bulgaricus LB-51 super strain to regulate the often neglected transient flora.

Together, these three strains work to support the entire gastrointestinal system by discouraging attachment of undesirable bacteria in the GI tract, inhibiting yeast and bacteria, alleviating occasional gas, bloating and upper GI problems, enhancing digestion of dairy products, maintaining normal cholesterol levels assisting with the digestion of complex carbohydrates and proteins and enhancing the absorption of calcium and other minerals.

Is milk shelf-stable? Probiotics aren’t either

Probiotic bacteria are live, perishable organisms that need to be kept cold to preserve potency. Healthy Trinity is manufactured, stored continuously under refrigeration and shipped in insulated containers packed with both dry and blue ice.

Guaranteed Potency

In a dietary supplement industry that is generally unregulated, Natren is the only probiotic company to guarantee potency through independent testing and is among very few companies follow the FDA's International Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) regime to document ingredient sourcing, cleanliness and manufacturing excellence. Natren’s ingredients are also routinely tested for potency by independent labs.

Many would be surprised to learn the FDA regulates dietary supplements as foods – not drugs. While pharmaceutical companies are required to prove the safety, effectiveness and potency of their products, supplement manufacturers are not. The FDA can take action only after a dietary supplement has been proven harmful. “We produce our products with the same vigilance towards safety, quality and third party testing practiced by drug manufacturers,” says Natasha. “We are the only probiotic manufacturer that guarantees potency of each strain listed - each capsule of Health Trinity is guaranteed to have 30 billion CFUs (Colony Forming Units, the microbiology term used to measure the number of active bacteria) – something no other probiotics company can claim.”
