Abstract

This human trial (single-blind, controlled sample) was aimed to evaluate the safety and therapeutic supportive effects of LiveSpoÆ Colon probiotic product containing Bacillus spores of LS-III generation at high concentration of > 3 x 109 CFU/5 mL for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The control group followed the hospital’s treatment regimen, meanwhile the experimental group combined using the product LiveSpoÆColon at a dose of 1 ampoule / time x three times / day for a period of 30 days. Evaluating the effects of the product based on a set of criteria evaluating symptoms were tested on days 0, 7 and 30 and the results of colonoscopy on days 0 and 30. The safety was assessed by biochemical and hematological indicators on day 30. The results showed that, the symptoms in each assessment area as well as the total severity of colitis improved at day 7, and there was a clear statistical significance difference between the experimental group (177.3 ± 14.30) higher than the control group (157.8 ± 17.53) after 30 days. Furthermore, the result of colonoscopy showed that the level of ulcerative colitis was significantly reduced. Biochemical and hematological indicators on day 30 were within the allowed limits. The data suggests that the LiveSpoÆ Colon is safe and effective in supportive treatment of IBD (including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis).
