Summary
This study tested whether vitamin C (ascorbic acid) tablets can temporarily lower stomach pH in healthy young men whose stomach acid was reduced by a common heartburn drug.

The goal was to see if vitamin C could safely and quickly adjust stomach acidity, which may help people with low stomach acid.
