Exactly. If you actually bother to read the fine print on the packaging for an unknown supplement, it spells it out right there:
Ascorbic acid is a potent reducing agent that can alter the outcomes of various lab tests (for example, glucose in urine, estradiol, liver transaminases, serum lactate dehydrogenase, occult blood in stool, serum bilirubin, plasma iron and ferritin, urinary pH, uric acid, or oxalates).

Penicillin at the local CVS is about $3.50. I actually managed to snag some without a prescription the other day.

Unfortunately, it looks like it’s doing absolutely nothing for this throat infection. Looks like I'll have to drag myself to the doctor just to get a script for Clavulin...

My eye doctor actually suggested I can still use them, but instead of leaving my contacts soaking in solution all night or for several hours, I should just let them sit for maybe thirty minutes max.
