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.

I’ve purchased this several times as a gift. Those who experience heartburn from vitamin C find this product agreeable as it doesn’t induce heartburn. While both Chinese and British products are synthetic, I prefer the British quality and recommend it for regular use.

Lower dose
It’s claimed that taking 1000mg at once might cause heartburn, so I’m opting for a lower dose of 500mg.

I started taking these vitamins during the pandemic instead of ascorbic acid, as advised by a doctor—500 mg daily. They have not caused heartburn or any allergic reactions, which is a definite plus.

For Megadose, 1000mg per tablet is suitable. The recommended dose is 500mg. It is water-soluble, so you can take it continuously. However, if taken on an empty stomach, it may cause heartburn.
