Vitamin C reduces heartburn symptoms
The safety and efficacy of 2% vitamin C solution spray for relief of mucosal irritation caused by Lugol chromoendoscopy: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel trial.
Highly relevant heartburn treatment study
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.

Caused severe heartburn
Unfortunately, this product caused severe heartburn for me, which I had never experienced before. Despite several attempts to take it, the result was always the same. My mother, however, had no issues with it.

No heartburn observed
I've just started taking these capsules, which do not cause any heartburn, making them suitable for older individuals or those with stomach issues. The large dose is effective; I feel invigorated, more productive, and my mood has improved. It seems to have enhanced my memory and skin appearance too.

Effective without heartburn
I switched to this vitamin C to save money, as a similar product from Solgar was twice as expensive. I was prepared for heartburn but, to my surprise, it didn't occur! It's excellent and keeps me healthy throughout the winter despite minimal fruit intake. I typically take 500 mg three times a day and feel no symptoms.
