“Karviva founder bridging Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern microbial science. Functional drinks for gut health and perimenopause.”
Dr. Angela Zeng is the founder and CEO of Karviva, a functional beverage brand bridging 5,000 years of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern microbial science. Born into a family of TCM practitioners and trained as a PhD scientist, Angela built Karviva to translate ancient herbal wisdom into clinically informed, plant-based drinks designed for gut health, perimenopause support, and everyday performance.
Karviva's protein and prebiotic smoothies launch nationwide in HomeGoods in 2026, and the brand was named a 2026 Good Housekeeping Snack Awards Finalist. Angela was recognised by Marquis Who's Who in 2021 for her contributions to wellness and women's entrepreneurship.
Her story has been featured in First For Women, Woman's World, GoodMen Project, The Science Times, California Business Journal, KSDK, FOX5 San Diego, CNTV, and The Chris Voss Show.
Angela brings rigour and warmth to conversations on functional nutrition, women's health, founder resilience, and the science behind ancient remedies. She speaks fluently across consumer, scientific, and entrepreneurial audiences.
