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.

Excellent medium capsules, which are easy to swallow—even when fasting. I take two capsules daily, and I haven't experienced any heartburn. I really like this manufacturer's vitamins; they are excellent quality, and I recommend them!

I chose this vitamin C for its gentle effect on my sensitive stomach and it didn’t cause any heartburn. My family and I took it and nobody got sick during winter, so I've ordered it again.

I adore this vitamin C, along with most Garden of Life products, for their quality, natural ingredients, and absence of harmful additives. Since they are made from whole food, they are better absorbed. I have not experienced any heartburn or other issues. Highly recommend!

Severe heartburn
Any form of vitamin C gives me heartburn. I assumed this one would be different since it's not natural, but I still experienced wild heartburn. It's better to eat two kiwis instead.
