Vitamin C reduces heartburn symptoms
We investigated how vitamin C, specifically in the form of a 2% vitamin C solution spray, could help alleviate heartburn symptoms following Lugol chromoendoscopy, a procedure that involves staining the esophagus to better visualize abnormalities. In a well-structured study with 240 participants, we used a randomized, double-blind approach to compare the effectiveness of vitamin C to normal saline and sodium thiosulfate solutions.
Our results showed that vitamin C spray significantly reduced both acute heartburn symptoms and late discomfort when compared to the saline solution. Specifically, 33% of participants using vitamin C reported relief from acid regurgitation or heartburn, compared to just 15% with sodium thiosulfate. Additionally, patients noted an improvement in retrosternal pain, with 21% finding relief from the vitamin C treatment versus 9% from sodium thiosulfate.
Furthermore, vitamin C offered a quicker discoloration of the iodine-stained mucosa compared to saline, enhancing the overall experience of the procedure. These findings suggest that incorporating vitamin C spray into post-procedural care could be a helpful strategy for patients facing discomfort after undergoing Lugol chromoendoscopy.

Prevents heartburn
An excellent formula of Vitamin C, far better than ascorbic acid. It helps to relax and prevent colds, and notably does not cause heartburn.

No heartburn
You can take it after or during meals, and at 1000mg, it’s easy to take once a day. After consistent use, I feel less susceptible to colds. Not having heartburn is a distinct advantage over other vitamin C options.

It is vitamin C that you can trust and take for a long time. Although it is more expensive than other vitamin Cs, there is no heartburn and it is very good.
