A Deep Dive into Medical Grade Probiotics

Hey everyone,

In our last episode, my husband and I discussed how our family introduced a medical-grade probiotic called Neuralli into our home exactly one year ago. Since then we have experienced significant positive results and we wanted to share our experience. One today's show, I actually will be speaking with the Chief Science Officer from Bened Life Dr. Noelle Patno.

Bened Life is on the leading edge of microbiome and health science innovation, producing effective and safe microbiome solutions for unmet neurological and mental health needs. 

PS128, the sole probiotic strain in Bened Life’s Neuralli Medical Probiotic, has been the subject of 12 human clinical studies across four categories - neurodevelopment,neurodegeneration, mental health, and exercise performance. It was shown to help balance serotonin, dopamine, cortisol, and other molecules that affect mood, mind,and movement, while also helping regulate gastrointestinal tract health. 

Noelle Patno, PhD, Bened Life’s chief science officer, discusses these key points:

- L. plantarum PS128 is not available in fermented foods like sauerkraut or yogurt. According to global definitions of fermented foods, they should contain at least 1million CFU of microbes per gram of food. 

- In preclinical models that had lowered levels of dopamine or serotonin in the brain, oral administration of L. plantarum PS128 resulted in increasing levels ofserotonin and dopamine in the brain.

- L. plantarum PS128 has been shown to benefit autistic individuals in four clinical trials. 

Gut-brain axis communication is bidirectional – meaning the gut and brain talk to each other vs one-way communication – which helps regulate gut function as well asoverall behavior – including mood, stress, sleep, focus, and more. 

Extra interventions may be needed for those who aren’t getting everything they need through diet, sleep, and exercise. 

That’s where Bened Life and PS128 come in.
