Psychobiotic science, at your service
psy-cho-bi-o-tics : probiotics and postbiotics that deliver a mental health benefit
At Bened Life, our mission is to bring clinically effective, microbiome-based solutions to people with challenging neurological and mental health needs.

Our mission: Unlocking the gut-brain axis
Many people with unmet neurological and mental health needs are looking for effective options to support their health or the health of loved ones.
At Bened Life, we believe that safe and effective microbiome-based solutions are part of the answer.
Our proprietary strains appear to tap into the gut-brain axis to affect neurotransmitters in the brain. These exclusive psychobiotic strains – PS128TMand HT-PS23TM– are only found in Neuralli®products sold by Bened Life.
These gut-brain strains,discovered byDr. Y.-C. Tsai and Bened scientists, are backed by 30 years of study by multiple research groups, resulting in over 12 published clinical studies.
Our story
One mother’s self-advocacy was the spark that led our research team to study PS128’s neurological activity in human beings. This has resulted in 12 clinical studies on PS128’s role in supporting physical, mental, and neurological health, with focus areas such as autism and Parkinson’s disease.
“PS128TMchanged my life. I think without it, I would still be stuck in my room counting DVDs.”- Isaiah

Our values
We believe that different ways of seeing the world, experiencing the senses, and relating to others are richly valuable.

• Make decisions that don’t compromise on science, community, or sustainability
• Strive for neuroinclusivity in everything we do by celebrating neurodiversity, highlighting invisible disabilities, and supporting people with under-served neurological conditions
