Could a daily probiotic help adults with autism reach personal goals?
NCT ID NCT07064538
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a probiotic supplement called Neuralli® MP can help adults aged 18 to 50 who have autistic traits. Participants take two capsules daily and set their own personal goals to track progress. The trial is small and open-label, meaning everyone knows they are getting the supplement, so results will be preliminary.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Neuralli® MP (probiotic supplement containing 60 billion CFU per day)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary supplement that helps adults with autistic traits achieve personal goals and improve daily functioning.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, open-label trial with only 15 participants and no placebo group, so results may be due to expectation effects. The supplement is not a cure and may not work for everyone.
