Product Description
Sodium Citrate serves as a urine alkalinizer. Bicarbonate is produced after it is absorbed. Treatments for metabolic acidosis use the generated bicarbonate to buffer excess hydrogen ions in the blood and raise its pH.

How does it work?
It has a sour taste like citric acid. Its medical use is as an alkalinizing agent. The agent neutralizes excess acid in the urine and blood. Metabolic acidosis can be treated with it.
Applications Or where it is used:
Sodium citrates are emulsifiers for oil and acidity regulators that are added to food and drinks. When added to cheese, they prevent it from becoming greasy. They also prevent food from becoming acidic. The clotting of donated blood in storage is prevented by sodium citrate.
Manufacturing process:
An ordinary method for preparing sodium citrate is to add sodium carbonate monohydrate to a warm aqueous 5 solution of citric acid. After evaporating the solution, the crystals are formed. Calcium citrate can also be converted into sodium citrate by decomposing it with an alkali metal salt.
How to use:
Each time you use the container, shake it well. By mouth, usually 4 times a day, or as directed by your doctor.
