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.

This is my second purchase. It contains rose hips and vitamins, which I find satisfactory. The pill size is just right, and I experienced no heartburn, even when taken on an empty stomach.

No side effects reported
A good vitamin I use on a low-carb diet. With limited food intake, I needed vitamin C that wouldn’t irritate my stomach or cause heartburn. After taking it for over a month, I have experienced no side effects for my gastrointestinal tract. I highly recommend it for those with a sensitive stomach.

Avoid if sensitive
The manufacturer is good, but since I consume Vitamin C throughout the day, this one feels too sour for me! I hope the ingredients are sound, but I haven't noticed any significant changes. If you take the full dose, it may work well! However, I struggled with terrible heartburn after it got stuck in my esophagus, so I recommend drinking plenty of water.

Normal. I appreciate it; there is no heartburn, although I do not suffer from heartburn with Vit S. My entire family took large doses during a cold and thankfully did not fall ill.
