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.

No heartburn

Ester-C is a non-acidic form of vitamin C that doesn’t irritate the stomach due to its neutral pH. It’s great for those who suffer from heartburn or indigestion when taking regular ascorbic acid. This combination of vitamin C and calcium is beneficial, providing both in a convenient tablet. I recommend taking it as advised by a doctor.

This is a fantastic product! No added sugar and, importantly, no heartburn or reflux. I have a sensitive stomach and tolerate this well. Ester-C’s calcium ascorbate is superior to other types of vitamin C I’ve tried.

Minimal heartburn relief
Large capsule; it was surprisingly bigger than I expected, approximately 27 mm in length and 8 to 9 mm in diameter. I sometimes feel a bit of pain when swallowing. However, compared to other water-soluble vitamin C, I experience less heartburn. I have not yet discerned the effect as I've only been taking it for less than a month, but I plan to continue for my vitamin C deficiency.

American Health Ester-C 1000 mg is highly absorbable and doesn’t cause heartburn, making it practical as just one tablet is required daily. The addition of citrus bioflavonoids aids immunity. I recommend it for those seeking a gentler option than regular vitamin C.
