What to Know about Neuralli Mood

The probiotic + postbiotic duo for stress

An impending deadline, a major project, a wedding, demanding responsibilities, even a big athletic goal – life can really dial up the stress at times. These stressful events put your brain and body on high alert, which can take a toll on them both.

When life gets challenging, finding ways to mitigate the effects of stress on your body and on your mind is crucial. Introducing Neuralli Mood.

Neuralli Mood is a probiotic + postbiotic blend designed to support a healthy stress response* by tapping into your gut-brain axis. It’s a new way to sleep more soundly and tackle daily challenges with clarity and calm.* And it’s intentionally formulated with the uncommonly transparent, science-based approach and exclusive gut-brain microbiome focus that Bened Life is known for.

What is Neuralli Mood & how does it work?

Neuralli Mood is a dietary supplement designed to help with stress in everyday life.* It contains two proprietary strains from Bened Life: our signature psychobiotic strain, L. plantarum PS128, and the stress-reducing, heat-treated L. paracasei PS23 postbiotic.*

PS128 is a probiotic – a living organism that provides a health benefit when taken in a specific amount. PS128 is quite different from most probiotics in that it acts on the gut-brain axis to help with psychological stress.

HT-PS23 is a postbiotic - a preparation of PS23 cells that have been treated with high heat. They may not be alive, but they aren’t “inactive”! In fact, clinical studies show that HT-PS23 provides health benefits for both psychological and physical stress.*

How does Neuralli Mood relieve psychological stress?

In a peer-reviewed, published clinical study of Neuralli Mood, the product helped stressed firefighters with sleep and also promoted calm mood compared with placebo.*^,1 Its two strains have also been scientifically studied individually, shedding light on how this probiotic-postbiotic duo works.

Stress hormone levels: In a randomized controlled study, HT-PS23 postbiotic reduced blood cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, like a great stress-reliever should.³ Preclinical studies suggest PS128 can do the same. Cortisol in the saliva of stressed IT workers also decreased in a clinical study.²

Mental health neurotransmitter levels: Here is where Neuralli Mood’s strains really shine. Multiple PS128 preclinical studies show that it alters levels of “happy hormones” serotonin and dopamine in the brain which affect mood; effects on dopamine are a rarity amongst probiotics. In addition, HT-PS23 may be the only postbiotic known to affect dopamine in the brain in preclinical studies.

Dopamine and serotonin are brain neurotransmitters that are important for mood and sleep. A clinical study suggests PS128 may help with both: It improved sleep problems and job stress* in a single-arm study of stressed tech workers.²

HT-PS23 complements PS128’s calming abilities well. In a randomized controlled clinical study of highly stressed nurses, HT-PS23 reduced scores of anxiousness in very stressed nurses.* The most stressed participants reported significantly improved job satisfaction and overall psychological health* after 8 weeks of HT-PS23, but those taking a placebo didn’t.³ 

You may find it curious that a probiotic or postbiotic strain could help you cope with a challenging work environment or other life circumstances. After all, we’re used to thinking about gut bacteria as only affecting our gut health. Even if your digestive system is working just fine, if you’re stressed, Neuralli Mood was designed just for you.

What makes Neuralli Mood different from other mood supplements?

The most obvious difference between Neuralli Mood and most mood supplements is its two active ingredients. They're not herbs; they're probiotics, but not the "usual kind".

They are psychobiotics, gut-brain strains. They work within your gut via the gut-brain axis to deliver brain benefits, regardless of your gut health status. 

Most probiotics do not do this. And most other mood supplements do not contain gut-brain probiotic strains.

It’s also important to know that you can’t find these ingredients anywhere else. Bened Life is the exclusive source of PS128 and HT-PS23 in the US. These two strains were developed by Bened, and are backed by multiple published peer-reviewed clinical studies in humans and model organisms.

Another thing that sets Neuralli Mood apart is that the product itself has been put to the test in a randomized controlled human study – the “gold standard”.¹ 

At Bened Life, gut-brain probiotics are all we do. And we hold ourselves to a high standard in terms of the products we create, how we deliver them to your doorstep, and how we treat you every step of the way.

We’re proud of the years of patient scientific research that have gone into every one of our strains, and each one is in there for a reason. That’s why you won’t find a long list of generic “filler” species with unidentified strain names, or strains without published research on our label.

We include clinically studied amounts of both PS128 and HT-PS23, and ship them with a temperature sensor so you get the potency you deserve. Our US-based customer service agents are ready to take your questions before and after your purchase.

Science-backed strains. Clinically relevant amounts. Caring customer service. That’s the Bened way.
