Neuralli™ MP Goes Global: US Probiotic Medical Food Meets Singapore HSA Notification

Milestone Builds on Hong Kong's Healthcare Professionals Choice Probiotic Award and Full US HSA/FSA Payment Eligibility

SINGAPORE, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bened Life, the leader in psychobiotics, has completed voluntary notification for its flagship product, Neuralli™ MP, with Singapore's Health Sciences Authority (HSA) under the Health Supplements framework (Notification No.: VNS-2026-08-00377) — reflecting the product's continued alignment with local regulatory standards. The milestone marks the latest step in Bened Life's expanding presence across the APAC region.

Under this framework, Neuralli™ MP has been notified for the general healthy population in accordance with the following health claims from HSA's List of Health Claims for Health Supplements:

-  Mental Performance: Contributes to normal mental performance (S/N 527)
-  Emotional Wellbeing: Helps maintain / support emotional wellbeing (S/N 544)
-  Sleep Support: Helps decrease/reduce/relieve disturbed/restless sleep (S/N 532)
-  Stress Management: Supports healthy body stress recovery (S/N 568)

These notified claims are backed by PS128™ strain (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.

The Singapore milestone builds on recent momentum in Hong Kong, where Neuralli™ MP won two major industry honors in as many years: the Healthcare Professional Choice Probiotic Award in 2026, voted on directly by the medical community, and the Best Psychobiotic Brand of the Year award in 2025. A survey by the Health Research Centre among Hong Kong healthcare professionals found that after one month of using Neuralli™ MP:

• Over 90% of surveyed HK HCPs recommend^[1]
• 94.3% of surveyed HK HCPs reported improved focus^[2]
• 93.1% of surveyed HK HCPs reported reduced work stress^[3]

In the United States, Neuralli™ MP is now fully eligible for purchase through Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds, allowing US consumers to use pre-tax health benefit dollars to cover up to 100% of the cost.

"These results didn't happen by chance," said Frankie Cheng, CEO of Bened Life. "In just a few months, we've cleared regulatory bars in the region with Singapore's HSA, won the trust of healthcare professionals in Hong Kong, and made Neuralli™ MP available to millions of Americans through HSA and FSA plans. Together, these achievements reflect a commitment that consumers around the world can now see, and benefit from. We will continue to build on this momentum as we expand across APAC and beyond."

Looking ahead, Bened Life will continue to deepen its localized presence and scientific outreach across APAC, delivering science-backed, high-quality psychobiotic solutions to consumers worldwide and leading the next wave of innovation in gut-brain health.

Neuralli™ MP Goes Global: US Probiotic Medical Food Meets Singapore HSA Notification

SHANGHAI, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 17 at HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Huawei released the Huawei AIFW Technical White Paper during the session themed "Solidifying Network Security Foundations to Safeguard Industrial Intelligence Implementation." The White Paper systematically presents the architectural concept and key technologies of next-generation AI firewalls (AIFW) tailored for the AI era. Richard Wu, President of the Security Product Domain of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, and Jeff Wang, President of Huawei Cyber Security & Privacy Dept, jointly attended the launch ceremony.

From Rule-Driven to Intent-Aware: Reshaping Security Defense Logic

As LLMs, AI agents, and compute clusters scale across industries, the cyber threat landscape is fundamentally shifting. Confronted with emerging risks like prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, and compute misuse, traditional rule-matching systems fall short due to delayed rule updates and limited semantic understanding.

According to the White Paper, AIFW integrates AI-native hardware, LLMs, and intelligence and security knowledge bases to shift defense focus from traffic protection to behavior governance. Leveraging full-spectrum awareness, semantic understanding, risk reasoning, and intent recognition, AIFW accurately pinpoints AI-specific risks such as DGA domains, prompt injection, and unauthorized content exfiltration. This marks a transition from rule-driven to intelligence-driven and from static policies to policy autonomy to protect AI computing centers, enterprise AI agents, and LLM operations.

AI-Native Hardware Foundation: Building Native Security Resilience with High Reliability

The White Paper details the AIFW's native hardware architecture. Leveraging hardware-software synergy, performance across post-quantum cryptography, rule matching, and AI inference achieves order-of-magnitude improvements. Featuring 99.999% carrier-grade reliability, the product utilizes hardware decoupling, software isolation, and an engine-level root of trust to deliver robust survivability and rapid recovery. By preventing vulnerability exploitation and establishing native security immunity, it ensures uninterrupted core operations during extreme network attacks or failures.

Policy Autonomy and Intelligent Operations: Advancing Toward Human-Like Closed-Loop Defense

Addressing traditional security operation pain points—such as outdated rules, insufficient synergy, and complex management—AIFW achieves policy autonomy through unified security semantics and intelligent reasoning. The AIFW automatically identifies and remediates policy gaps and dynamically optimizes policies alongside service shifts. This establishes a human-like closed loop across awareness, decision-making, and response, significantly easing the operational burden on enterprises.

Moving forward, Huawei will continue collaborating with customers and partners to build an intelligent, efficient, autonomous, and trustworthy next-generation network security ecosystem.
