Called the Second Brain - having the second largest number of neurons besides our brain, our gut is connected to the brain via the Gut-Brain Axis (GBA). This is why we have “butterflies” in our stomach when we are nervous.

Unfortunately, gut issues daily impact people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Low amounts of good bacteria have contributed to dopamine and serotonin imbalances, and unwanted symptoms. Interestingly, research show that treating the gut with Neurobiotics can help balance the gut and neurotransmitters, significantly improving the quality of life of those with PD.

For PD patients, a medical probiotic that provides the missing microbes needed for signaling from the gut to the brain could result in meaningful differences in their quality of life. Not all probiotics are the same, so a PD patient, with the supervision of a health care practitioner, could consider a probiotic that has been tested in PD and shown to produce benefits.


The gut and brain can influence each other through the activity of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Neurobiotics specifically appear to influence the activity of neurotransmitters. Several neurobiotic strains provide dietary management for depression and anxiety may do so by signaling to the brain to adjust serotonin levels. Interestingly, Lactobacillus plantarum PS128, as of this writing, may be the only probiotic strain known to increase dopamine activity in the brain, which is a critical factor in PD.

Probiotics are live microorganisms, which can tip the balance of the gut microbiome, and are known to better digestion. But Neurobiotics like the L. plantarum PS128 strain go further - adjusting neurotransmitter levels for those with Parkinson’s disease, ADHD, Autism, and Depression

The efficacy of PS128 preclinical studies on PD was immediately proven in a recent clinical study. PD patients taking PS128 showed significant improvements in motor symptoms, including a prolonged ‘ON’ period and reduced ‘OFF’ period, and overall duality of life.

Derived from the Latin root “benedicere”, which means “blessed” or “full of blessings”, the Bened Life team comes from all walks of life, united by a common mission to advance science, improve health, and build a sensory inclusive world. And KultureCity, an NGO for neurodiverse people, has been a partner for our dream.

Bened Life is dedicated to promoting neurological and mental health with pharma-grade brain probiotics, backed by over 30 years of research experience, and clinical studies. With Neuralli MP, we are making meaningful impact on individuals and families globally.

Each serving (2 caps.) of Neuralli MP contains 60 billion CFUs of PS128 - a specific amount one can’t get from eating food alone. The US FDA considers Neuralli MP safe for children and adults to consume.
