Leading Companies Present Science-Backed Solutions Addressing Antimicrobial Resistance, Digestive Health, and Wellness Through Advanced Probiotics and Clinical Botanicals
BANGKOK, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As global healthcare confronts the urgent challenge of antimicrobial resistance, Vitafoods Asia 2026, the region's premier nutraceutical trade show organised by Informa Markets, will showcase pioneering solutions that blend scientific rigour with natural innovation. Leading this charge are LiveSpo and Natural Remedies, two industry innovators presenting breakthrough technologies that address critical health burdens through advanced probiotics and clinical botanicals.
From the world's first probiotic nasal spray to next-generation botanical ingredients delivering unprecedented efficacy at minimal doses, these companies demonstrate how evidence-based natural solutions can reduce antibiotic dependence while supporting digestive health, respiratory wellness, and immunity. Their innovations represent the convergence of traditional wisdom and modern science, offering effective, sustainable alternatives to conventional treatments for global populations facing pressing health challenges.
LiveSpo: Pioneering a Future Without Antibiotics
LiveSpo, a biotechnology leader specialising in spore-based probiotics, is introducing world-first innovations that could transform how healthcare approaches antibiotic usage. The company is the first and only manufacturer globally to successfully produce high-quality, multi-species spore probiotics in liquid form, enabling clinically validated products across multiple applications.
At the forefront of LiveSpo's innovations is LiveSpo NAVAX, the world's first probiotic nasal spray designed to support respiratory health. Clinical trials demonstrate that NAVAX shortens RSV infection symptoms by one day and influenza symptoms by one to two days while increasing treatment effectiveness by 10–60% compared with physiological saline. The formulation reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines up to 3.6-fold more effectively in RSV cases and shortens pneumonia symptom duration by one day with 20–90% improved treatment efficacy.
High-quality, multi-species spore probiotics in liquid form
LiveSpo's digestive health portfolio addresses the global burden of digestive disorders, which cause approximately 1.8 million deaths annually, with over 80% occurring in children under five years. LiveSpo Clausy, LiveSpo Colon, and LiveSpo Dia30 have been clinically shown to reduce antibiotic treatment duration by up to 25% when used alongside standard therapy and shorten persistent diarrhoea treatment by approximately three days. These formulations provide two-fold greater improvement in IBD-related symptom severity compared with control groups.
LiveSpo Kids specifically targets paediatric digestive wellness, demonstrating five-fold improvement in constipation management and eleven-fold enhancement in appetite compared to standard treatments. Clinical studies show the formulation increases weight by 0.3 kg per month in growing children while reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-23 concentration nine-fold and increasing IgA ten-fold by day 28.
LiveSpo's unique spore probiotic technology provides 24-month stability in zone 4B with no cold storage required, ensuring product quality regardless of shipping route—a critical advantage for global distribution.
"I always believe that the most important thing for a scientist is how their research is applied in real life, how it can benefit and serve the community," said Dr. Nguyen Hoa Anh, Chairman and Founder of LiveSpo. "Every year, there are about 5 million deaths worldwide caused by antibiotic resistance, mostly among children under 5 years old. The World Health Organisation has repeatedly warned about the global issue of drug resistance, but until now, WHO has not provided an effective tool to replace antibiotics. In 2013, LiveSpo Pharma successfully researched and developed the technology for producing Liquid Form, Multi-strains, High Concentration Spore Probiotics, which have the potential to gradually replace antibiotics."
He further added, "Vitafoods Asia provides the ideal platform for us to showcase our advanced spore probiotic technology to reputable partners across the region. As we pursue strategic regional expansion, this event allows us to connect with key industry players who share our vision of delivering innovative, science-backed probiotic solutions. We're eager to demonstrate how our pioneering liquid spore probiotic technology can help partners address critical health challenges while supporting our mission toward a future without antibiotics"
