Potassium Citrate

Citrate, in the form of potassium citrate, has been used to resupply patients who have low urinary levels of citrate in an effort to limit calcium crystallization.  Specifically, potassium citrate forms a soluble complex with calcium reducing the amount for binding with oxalate.  Or more simply put, citrate stabilizes the urinary environment.
