What to Expect in Your First Month Taking Neuralli MP

You’ve placed your order and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of your first shipment of Neuralli MP medical probiotic. Here’s what to do next!

1. Store Neuralli MP in the fridge

When you receive your box, bring it inside as soon as possible and put each of your Neuralli MP bottles into the refrigerator. It’s ok if the inside of the box is not cold. If it’s warm and any included ice packs have melted, don’t worry! 

We work hard to make sure that every time you take Neuralli MP, you get the full clinical amount of L. plantarum PS128 - that’s 60 billion CFUs per two capsules.

Most probiotic manufacturers are happy just to put the right CFUs in the bottle at the factory and then hope for the best. At Bened Life we go the extra mile to make sure Neuralli MP is actually as potent when you take it as the label says.

We do that in five ways:

1. Pack each capsule with even more PS128 than promised
2. Ship it to you fast from our US-based warehouses
3. Ship on ice in hot weather to keep Neuralli MP cooler
4. Use CSP vials to keep every capsule in the bottle moisture-free
5. Remind you to keep Neuralli MP in its bottle all of the time, and in the refrigerator most of the time

2. Take Neuralli MP consistently every day

The time of day that you take Neuralli MP can be whenever works best for you. Some people find they prefer to take two capsules in the morning. Others prefer to take Neuralli MP in the evening, as participants in a clinical study of Parkinson’s Disease did (1). If you are giving Neuralli MP to a child, it’s ok to experiment with the best time of day and even to split the two capsules between morning and evening if necessary. In clinical studies (2-5), parents were given freedom to find the time of day that worked best for their autistic child.

If you are not able to swallow a capsule, you can still take Neuralli MP. Simply open the capsules and mix the powder into a cold, non-acidic drink or cold food and consume immediately.

When and how you take Neuralli MP each day is flexible. What’s crucial is that you take Neuralli MP every day for neurological health benefits, and always keep Neuralli MP cool and dry. Neuralli MP should be kept inside its own bottle and stored in the refrigerator for highest potency.

We recommend setting a reminder on your phone or using a visual cue that helps you to remember Neuralli MP instead of adding it to a pill box. It’s ok to leave your current bottle of Neuralli MP out on the counter, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Just make sure to keep any additional bottles in the fridge for long-term storage so they will be at maximum potency on their “Best By” date.

3. Adjust to your new probiotic

Anytime you make a big change to your diet or add a new probiotic, it’s possible your gut may need some time to adjust. You may experience a bit of gas, bloating, or stool consistency changes as you start taking Neuralli MP. Any GI upset should be mild and should subside within a few days to a week.

If you experience an allergic reaction or gut issues that don’t resolve on their own, stop taking Neuralli MP and consult your health care provider.

4. Watch for neurological health benefits

Neuralli MP is a medical probiotic intended to be taken under the supervision of a health care professional for the dietary management of neurological conditions such as autism. Neuralli MP’s active ingredient is L. plantarum PS128, a unique gut-brain probiotic strain that has been studied in multiple clinical studies, 8 of which are in neurological conditions (to date).

PS128 has been found to support:

• Attention in children with neurological conditions - less inattention and less hyperactivity and impulsivity (2-4, 6)
• Mood - less anxiety, and observation of behaviors that indicate less anxiety (2-4, 8)
• Movement in a single-arm PD study - improved akinesia and activities of daily living (1)
• Sleep quality in chronic primary insomnia** - less likely to wake up during deep sleep (7)

(**not a study in people with neurological conditions)

Preclinical studies suggest that these benefits may be attributable to changes in serotonin and/or dopamine signaling or metabolism when taking PS128. Not everyone will experience all types of benefits, and how they look on the outside will vary from person to person.

How can you tell if Neuralli MP is helping you?

We suggest writing down details of struggles you typically encounter with attention, mood, movement, and/or sleep quality. Your doctor may also suggest benefits or potential side-effects of the neurological effects of PS128 that you should watch for.

After 4 or more weeks of taking Neuralli MP consistently, note any changes. It may also help to ask someone close to you what differences they’ve noticed in you.

Here are some examples of changes Neuralli MP customers and PS128 clinical study participants and their family members have reported:

• Sleeping through the night more regularly
• An “extra breath” before experiencing an autistic meltdown
• Less sensory overload allowing a wider range of activities
• Shorter duration of “off” periods, and easier movement
