This is the first study in the world to demonstrate the safety and outstanding efficacy of an intravaginal Bacillus spore probiotic spray in supporting the treatment and reduction of recurrent vaginitis symptoms in patients with bacterial vaginosis and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). After 28 days of LiveSpo® X-SECRET use combined with standard treatment regimens, the data showed:

  • A 5.7-fold reduction in symptoms of inflammation, itching, abnormal vaginal odor, and abnormal vaginal discharge compared to baseline. Notably, the improvement in itching was 3-fold higher, and the improvement in multi-symptom reduction (≥3 symptoms) was 6-fold higher compared to the control group (standard treatment combined with physiological saline spray), contributing to effective symptom control and reduction of recurrence after completing the 7–10 day course of antibiotics/antifungals.
  • A 275-fold decrease in Gardnerella vaginalis load and a 2.1-fold increase in Lactobacillus relative abundance compared to the control group, supporting natural restoration of the vaginal microbiota following antibiotic/antifungal therapy.
  • A 43–60% reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-8) and a 66% increase in vaginal IgA levels compared to the control group, strengthening the local immune barrier and reducing the risk of recurrence.

A key highlight of this study is that LiveSpo® X-SECRET not only rapidly improved clinical symptoms but also helped reduce inflammatory markers and restore the vaginal microbiota, providing a robust foundation for natural and sustainable prevention of vaginitis recurrence. The study was highly evaluated by the review committee for its practical applicability and excellent safety profile. LiveSpo® X-SECRET is potential as an effective supportive solution in gynecological care, contributing to a shift in the management of vaginitis and reducing dependence on antibiotics and antifungal medications
