Probiotic Medical Food* Neuralli™ MP Sweeps Double Award Win in Hong Kong: Over 90% of Healthcare Professionals Back the Brand

Building on Its Global Momentum, the Brand Completes Official HSA Notification in Singapore and Secures Full HSA/FSA Payment Support in the US 

HONG KONG, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bened Life, a global leader in psychobiotic innovation, saw its flagship product Neuralli™ MP win two authoritative industry and medical honors in Hong Kong. At the Healthcare Professionals Favorite Brand Award 2026, Neuralli™ MP stood out among numerous probiotic brands to win the top honor in the Probiotics category, the "Healthcare Professional Choice Probiotic Award."   Separately, in 2025, Neuralli™ MP was further honored with the Best Psychobiotic Brand of the Year award, presented by the Hong Kong Commercial Times (HKCT), underscoring the brand's leading position in the psychobiotics field.

Behind these two honors lies real-world validation from the healthcare professional community. A survey by the Health Research Centre among HK healthcare professionals shows that after 1 month of Neuralli™ MP usage:

• Over 90% of surveyed HK HCPs recommend¹
• 94.3% of surveyed HK HCPs reported improved focus²
• 93.1% of surveyed HK HCPs reported reduced work stress³

"These two awards mean a lot to us — they reflect real recognition from Hong Kong's healthcare community and business sector alike, for our scientific evidence and quality standards," said Frankie Cheng, CEO of Bened Life. "But for a science-driven brand like ours, nothing means more than earning the trust of frontline healthcare professionals."

As public awareness of Brain-Gut Axis health keeps growing, Neuralli™ MP continues to earn trust across Hong Kong and the wider APAC market through its strong scientific evidence and high quality standards.

At the core of Neuralli™ MP is PS128™ (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum PS128™), a probiotic strain extensively studied for its role in the gut-brain connection. PS128™ is a novel psychobiotic that appears to balance the "happy hormones" serotonin and dopamine, the "stress hormone" cortisol, and other molecules that affect neurological health, mood, stress response, and focus. Backed by more than 18 clinical studies, PS128™ continues to be studied for how it may support this connection between gut health and overall wellbeing.

At the same time, the brand has reported good news in other key markets: Neuralli™ MP has officially completed notification with Singapore's Health Sciences Authority (HSA) as a notified health supplement (VNS Notification No.: VNS-2026-08-00377), and now offers full support for Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) payments in the US market, allowing local consumers to purchase the product using pre-tax health benefit funds. These international milestones echo the professional recognition earned in Hong Kong, together reinforcing the brand's leading position in global Brain-Gut Axis research.

Looking ahead, Bened Life will continue to deepen its local presence and scientific outreach across the APAC region, providing consumers worldwide with psychobiotic solutions backed by scientific research and high quality standards, and leading new trends in global brain and mental wellness.
