Neuralli Mood is a dietary supplement that is intended for use by adults 18 years and older. It is designed for healthy adults with no diagnosed neurological conditions. All ingredients in Neuralli Mood are affirmed as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS). Please consult your health care provider when starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking any medications.

Neuralli Mood can be taken with most other probiotics and supplements. Use caution when combining Neuralli Mood with any other substance that affects levels of serotonin, dopamine, or cortisol. Contact your health care provider if you have any concerns about interactions with other products you are taking or if you have any health conditions.

Neuralli Mood is a dietary supplement that is intended for use by adults 18 years and older.

No significant adverse events were reported in clinical studies of PS128 or HT-PS23 taken daily in the amounts that are present in Neuralli Mood over a period of 2 months. As with any new probiotic, you may notice a change in gastrointestinal function at first, with any gas, bloating, or stool changes subsiding within 2 weeks or less. If you notice any other adverse effects, stop taking Neuralli Mood and consult your health care provider.

A 2 capsule serving of Neuralli Mood contains 30 billion CFU of L. plantarum PS128, 20 billion cells of heat-treated L. paracasei PS23, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and vegetable capsule.

Neither of the two strains in Neuralli Mood produce histamine. L. plantarum PS128 does not have the histidine decarboxylase (HDC) gene that is required to make histamine. The L. paracasei PS23 genome also does not contain genes that would produce biogenic amines such as histamines. PS23 does have one that is similar to such a gene; however, it was also tested in vitro, and that enzyme activity was not present. In addition, Neuralli Mood contains heat-treated PS23 - it is not a live microbe that can produce any molecules.

To keep your products maximally effective, store them in their original CSP bottles in the refrigerator. Be sure to keep Neuralli Mood in its original bottle to limit the exposure of the capsules to humidity; do not store the capsules in a different container. Do not expose Mood to high heat or direct sunlight.

If you travel with Neuralli Mood, always keep it in a cool, dry place. Storing a bottle at a consistent room temperature for up to one month will not impact the efficacy of the product.

You may notice changes within the first week, or it may require 2 or more months to notice results, as evidenced by clinical studies of PS128 and of HT-PS23.

We recommend measuring your baseline stress, sleep, and gut health before starting Neuralli Mood using the Record Your Stress tool.

After taking Neuralli Mood for 4 or more weeks, compare your current stress with your baseline. You will receive a special customer satisfaction survey via email.

Bened Life products are stable under most shipping conditions, but should be refrigerated upon receipt. PS128 requires refrigeration to retain efficacy through its best-by date.

Probiotics are living microbial cells that have a beneficial health effect when taken at a certain amount. Postbiotics, on the other hand, are dead microbial cells and parts of microbial cells that have a beneficial health effect when taken at a certain amount.
