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.

NOW brand doesn't give my wife heartburn or acid reflux, unlike other vitamin C brands we’ve tried. We have been using it for a while now and she hasn’t had any issues. The tablets are manageable to swallow, and I believe that taking vitamin C is why I haven't fallen ill recently. I take two a day, which I find beneficial.

It's fine to take on an empty stomach; although the pill isn't small, it's manageable. I typically get heartburn with some vitamin C, but this product didn't cause any. Good value and quality from a trusted brand; I bought it again.

The pill size is large but manageable. I don't get heartburn on an empty stomach, and I’ve noticed my immunity improving since taking vitamin C separately. I regret not trying this sooner!

Immunity support

Good quality supplement that aids recovery when unwell and strengthens my immune system. I initially took it every morning but experienced severe heartburn due to my high acidity. I may need to reduce the dosage or split the pills. Overall, I recommend it as it lasts long and effectively supports health.

Heartburn experienced
Not bad overall, but it caused heartburn, possibly because I ate little before taking it.
