Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Vitamin C has been studied for its potential role in supporting or treating gastritis, particularly because of its antioxidant properties and involvement in mucosal healing. Gastritis often results from infection with Helicobacter pylori, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, or other irritants that damage the gastric mucosa. Scientific interest in vitamin C for gastritis is partly based on its ability to scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and potentially modulate inflammatory responses in the gastric lining.

Some clinical and observational studies have shown that patients with gastritis and peptic ulcer disease often have lower levels of vitamin C in their gastric juice and plasma. Research indicates that vitamin C may inhibit the growth of H. pylori and enhance the efficacy of eradication therapies. For example, a few small trials report that vitamin C supplementation can improve gastric mucosal healing and reduce oxidative damage. However, these studies are limited in number, size, and methodological quality. A 2015 review in the World Journal of Gastroenterology summarized that while vitamin C supplementation may have adjunctive benefits, evidence is insufficient for routine use in gastritis management.

In summary, the use of vitamin C for gastritis is based on plausible biological mechanisms and limited clinical research, but robust, large-scale trials are lacking. Its role is best considered adjunctive rather than primary therapy, and its evidence level is modest (rated 2/5).
