Potassium Citrate（Cat No.:R071249）is an alkalinizing agent commonly used to manage conditions like kidney stones and metabolic acidosis. By increasing urinary pH, it helps reduce calcium crystallization, thus preventing the formation of kidney stones. Potassium Citrate also helps restore potassium levels in cases of hypokalemia. Due to its buffering action, it’s beneficial in treating urinary tract conditions that require reduced acidity. In addition to medical uses, it is used in food processing as a preservative and emulsifier, making it valuable across therapeutic and industrial applications.
