LiveSpo Pharma Emerges as Vietnam’s Pioneer at Vitafoods Europe 2024

Unveiling Groundbreaking Research and Product Development to Reduce Antibiotic Use in Digestive and Respiratory Care


HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 May 2024 – LiveSpo Pharma is the first Vietnamese entity to report on two clinical studies at the world’s leading nutrition exhibition, Vitafoods Europe 2024, held in Geneva, Switzerland. LiveSpo Pharma showcased its range of high-concentration, multi-strain liquid medical probiotics products at the exhibition booth. This is a significant milestone, affirming the brand’s international reputation and quality of LiveSpo medical probiotics products. This initiative aims to introduce Vietnamese medical probiotic products to the international market, gradually realizing the mission of “A Future Without Antibiotics.”

Over the three-day exhibition, LiveSpo’s booth attracted nearly 5,000 experts, partners, and visitors from pharmaceutical and functional food companies to explore and experience the displayed products. Among them, LiveSpo NAVAX – a spray form probiotic that reduces the concentration of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) by 600 times, and LiveSpo DIA30 – a probiotic that supports the cessation of acute diarrhea within 30 minutes, were the main highlights, gaining the most attention from attendees. Their appealing competitive edge is shortening antibiotics treatment time for patients, thereby reducing antibiotic use for diseases related to the digestive and respiratory systems. Visitors to LiveSpo’s booth had the opportunity to learn firsthand about the 13-year development journey from the idea to the production of these medical probiotic tubes, now meet international standards for distribution.

Making its debut at the premier European nutrition exhibition, LiveSpo demonstrates its ambition to widely disseminate safe, natural, and effective digestive and respiratory disease treatment methods using medical probiotics combined with standard treatment protocols.

In addition, LiveSpo Pharma is honored to be the first representative from Vietnam to present clinical research reports on medical probiotics at the Vitafoods Europe 2024. These research reports were published in Nature Scientific Reports, a highly reputable international journal in the field of science and technology, in 2022, 2023, and 2024. According to the first research report, LiveSpo NAVAX has been proven to be highly effective in bolstering the treatment of RSV and influenza-related respiratory tract infections, reducing treatment time and minimizing the possibility of long-term antibiotic treatment for patients. Combining the use of LiveSpo NAVAX spray with standard treatment protocols can reduce RSV and influenza virus concentrations by 600 and 400 times, respectively, and bacterial overgrowth concentrations by 65 times. This research is considered a significant step forward in supporting respiratory tract infection treatment, reducing prolonged antibiotic use, indirectly leading to antibiotic resistance and associated health and financial implications for patients.

The second clinical research report focuses on two probiotic products, LiveSpo CLAUSY and LiveSpo DIA30, which support the treatment of prolonged diarrhea. Clinical studies have shown that LiveSpo CLAUSY and LiveSpo DIA30 can reduce antibiotic use by approximately 25% compared to standard treatment protocols, while shortening the overall treatment time for diarrhea patients by 3 to 4 days. Additionally, the combined use of probiotics in treatment helps reduce the overall treatment costs (for prescriptions and inpatient care). Most importantly, these studies have proven the safety of LiveSpo products for children under 2 years old.

LiveSpo probiotics have received significant attention and high praise from international experts at the Vitafoods Europe 2024 exhibition, once again affirming the contributions of the company’s research and innovations to community healthcare. For the first time, a Vietnamese probiotic brand has been recognized and hailed at international conferences and exhibitions worldwide, surprising international experts with the novelty and breakthrough of its products which is rapid and clear efficacy. Prior to this, LiveSpo had participated in three major conferences and exhibitions in Europe and the United States from 2019 to 2023.

Sharing at the exhibition, Dr. Nguyen Hoa Anh, Chair of the Board of Directors and R&D Director of LiveSpo Pharma, said, “LiveSpo Pharma is proud to introduce the Bacillus probiotic products at the Vitafoods Europe 2024 exhibition. This product line has been researched, developed, and produced according to international standards. LiveSpo products have been clinically proven to be highly efficient in supporting the treatment of digestive and respiratory diseases, thus, playing a significant role in reducing the total amount of antibiotics used in treatment protocols. With such efforts from the LiveSpo Pharma scientific team, we hope to accompany the community in building a future without antibiotics.”

In recent years, probiotic technology has garnered significant attention from the scientific community thanks to its potential economic, social, and medical values. Currently, 72% of antibiotics are used to treat respiratory tract infections, while the figure for digestive diseases is 20%. Patients, especially children who have weak immune system, are susceptible to the side effects of antibiotics when undergoing prolonged treatment. Such treatment protocol is likely to include the use of 2-3 antibiotics. LiveSpo probiotic products have been clinically researched to reduce antibiotic use and shorten treatment times for the diseases mentioned above, while quickly balancing gut and nasal microbiota within 3-5 days of use. As a result, patients can recover quickly, and treatment costs are lowered. This also reduces the pressure on healthcare manpower and resources while strengthening the workforce of society and laying the foundation for economic development. In terms of health, probiotic support treatments can minimize the possibility of adding new generation antibiotics in the treatment protocols thanks to its highly effective immune-regulating support and natural protective barrier enhancement. In addition, it reduces the side effects of antibiotics such as digestive disorders and the risk of antibiotic resistance in future cases.

Master the Market’s Pulse Holistically—The First Course on Practical Digital Marketing in China Recognized by the Hong Kong Government launched by AD-Linkage


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 May 2024 – Since the resumption of cross-border travel between Mainland China and Hong Kong in the middle of last year, Xiaohongshu has become lifestyle and travel guides for mainland tourists and drifters. Edwin Lee, a renowned entrepreneur and an investment expert, who is also the founder of Bridgeway Prime Shop Fund, together with Horace Lui, Course Director and Tutor from AD-Linkage, will bring into discussion how Xiaohongshu is setting new marketing trends in the food and beverage industry, and leveraging the widely-used social media platform for business growth and brand promotion.

Master the Market’s Pulse Holistically—The First Course on Practical Digital Marketing in China Recognized by the Hong Kong Government launched by AD-Linkage

Unveiling the Secrets of Traffic on Xiaohongshu with Edwin Lee

Horace Lui, Course Director of AD-Linkage, stated that the current downturn and continuous closures in the local food and beverage industry have made more and more business owners aware the importance of leveraging Xiaohongshu, to navigate against the market recession. In light of this, AD-Linkage has launched a certificate course on practical digital marketing in China specifically designed for individuals interested in expanding into the mainland market, entrepreneurs, or social media administrators. Course content includes practical case studies and success stories, techniques and strategies for using Xiaohongshu effectively. It is the first course on practical digital marketing in China recognized by the Hong Kong Government. Lee has signed up and is offering a $500 course sponsorship to supporters.*

Horace mentioned that FinePrint, a Western-style coffee shop located in SoHo, Central, has achieved great success on Xiaohongshu this year. Despite its limited space, customers make purchase and enjoy their coffee and desserts sitting on the staircase outside the shop. It gives a chill and casual vibe. On the other hand, another local restaurant, Red Tea, managed to secure a spot on “must-try list in Hong Kong” on many travel influencers’ pages. With Mainland tourists shifting from bulk shopping to experiencing Hong Kong’s local culture, Red Tea offers a convenient way for them to quickly enjoy delicious delights, which is an exclusive travel experience for them. These two restaurants have different target audiences and marketing approaches on the social media platform, yet both have achieved significant success in the market.

Jason Liu, instructor from AD-Linkage explained that throughout the course, students will be guided on how to analyze successful cases and taught techniques to gain more exposures and reaches online. The course aims to strengthen students’ copywriting skills and assist them in standing out and generating more business in a competitive environment. He emphasized that “headlines, content, images, cover design, and hashtag” are crucial factors in gaining traffic, which can be achieved with the help of tools such as “Xin Hong”, which is a data tool for Xiaohongshu. It provides search for posts and notes on the platform, allowing users to discover the hottest topics and keywords. For instance, terms and phrases like “great deal,” “must-eat”,”no.1,” and “not to be missed” indicate high discussion activity. By aligning with “the hottest trends”, a successful “traffic generation” strategy can be developed.

A must learn: Using “Substitute Words for Sensitive Terms” to Avoid “Content Restriction”

Internet regulations in China are stringent. Video/content would be restricted if it contained “sensitive terms”; hence, they would not be uploaded to the social media platform. According to the advertising laws of the country, specific words such as “the most”, “one and only”, and “top-notch” are forbidden. Therefore, it is crucial to learn how to minimize the occurrence of restriction. Horace mentioned that the course will cover a series of “substitutes for sensitive terms” that are rarely discussed among other courses. For example, “the most” can be replaced with pinyin “Zui”, in Mandarin, and “TOP 1” can be substituted with “T.O.P. 1”. The course will also address topics to avoid on particular days. By mastering these techniques, not only can one convey its messages, but also prevent “content restriction”.
