Calcium citrate is a calcium supplement derived from citric acidâa substance commonly found in citrus fruits and other fruits and vegetables. While calcium citrate is an acidic form of calcium, calcium carbonate, another calcium supplement, is alkaline based.
WHY CITRATE. Mechanisms. Supersaturation with respect to the calcium stones depends upon urine concentrations of calcium, oxalate, phosphate, and citrate, and, in the case of calcium phosphate stones, or uric acid stones, urine pH. Giving citrate salts can reduce urine calcium excretion and increase urine citrate. Urine citrate binds urine calcium in a soluble citrate complex, which reduced calcium salt supersaturations. Citrate inhibits crystal formation, growth and aggregation. The alkaline citrate salts can raise urine pH.
