Partially compensating for the acidogenic diet and resultant downward trajectory of systemic pH and to maintain systemic pH homeostasis, alkaline salts are liberated from the skeleton and are lost permanently in the urine, and therefore the bone density declines [1]. Acidosis may have unfavorable effects like weakened bones, kidney stone formation increases heart palpitation, etc. Potassium citrate is an alkaline potassium salt of citric acid that can help alkalize pH to make the body less acidic and mitigate the harmful effects of acidosis. Potassium citrate balances potassium levels. A normal level of potassium in the blood is important. Potassium helps your cells, kidneys, heart, muscles, and nerves work properly. Especially, potassium has been shown to support normal blood pressure levels thereby reducing the risk of a stroke.

Mode of Action:
- Maintains pH homeostasis by restoring acid-base balance.
- Makes the urine less acidic by alkalizing, which helps the kidneys excrete uric acid to avoid kidney stone formation.
- Decreases bone resorption, the process by which osteoclasts break down the tissue in bones and release minerals. [3]
- Balances potassium levels in the blood when there is insufficiency.
- May lower blood pressure. [2]
- Balances calcium levels.
