Discoveries of Mirko Beljanski and his wife Monique
Mirko Beljanski, PhD (1923-1998), a biologist-biochemist who worked for over 30 years at the famous Pasteur Institute in Paris, devoted his life to the exploration of the basic principles of DNA replication and transcription and the role of trigger molecules in normal and malignant gene expression. His wife, Monique Beljanski (originally Monique Lucas, 1931-2023), collaborated with him for over 45 years. Together, they experienced the joys and challenges of scientific discovery.
A deep understanding of biological mechanisms, coupled with a fierce independence from any industrial interest, led Monique and Mirko Beljanski to define a multidimensional approach to health and then develop products without side effects that are easy to administer and consume in the form of dietary supplements.
The Beljanski® Products have been widely used in Europe for two decades before being introduced to the United States in 1996, when Sylvie Beljanski, their daughter, founded Natural Source International, which has become "Maison Beljanski" since the opening of a boutique/tea room in New York.
