Vitamin C reduces heartburn symptomsThe 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.

User Reviews
Super! I used to experience heartburn with vitamin C, particularly with capsule forms. However, I've found this one perfect; it does not induce heartburn. I take it after heavy meals, and my muscles feel less fatigued during training. Additionally, when I sense a cold coming on, I increase my dosage, and it works wonders. The 1000 mg capsules are convenient, and I recommend it highly!

Effective heartburn relief
After having heartburn with capsule-type vitamin C, I switched to this tablet form and I'm pleased to report no heartburn issues since I started taking it.
Consistent heartburn management
This time-lag vitamin C is excellent for steadily enhancing blood vitamin C levels without causing heartburn. I haven't used it for megadoses, but it's working well for me.
This vitamin C is of good quality and features long-release properties. I am satisfied as it doesn’t cause me any heartburn. I definitely recommend it!
The quality of this vitamin C is excellent. I noticed improvement after a month, especially for the elderly. It's a great antioxidant, does not induce heartburn, and is easily consumed.
