Potassium Citrate
supplement Under reviewA potassium salt of citric acid used to support electrolyte balance, urinary pH, and kidney health.
Research summary
The best human evidence for potassium citrate is for reducing recurrence risk and urinary risk factors for calcium-based kidney stones. In healthy volunteers, supplementation lowers net acid excretion and can improve calcium balance, supporting a plausible benefit for bone mineral preservation, though direct fracture-outcome evidence is limited. Overall, the evidence is strongest for kidney stone prevention and biochemical acid-base effects, with more limited but biologically plausible support for bone health. Evidence for broader cardiovascular or performance benefits is not well established in healthy humans using potassium citrate specifically.
