Citrate de potassium

Potassium citrate is a mineral salt formed by combining potassium, an essential electrolyte, with citric acid. In this form, potassium offers excellent bioavailability and good digestive tolerance, making it one of the most widely used forms of supplementation. Potassium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, normal muscle contraction, and the maintenance of normal blood pressure. It also plays a role in the body's acid-base balance. Citrate, for its part, provides a recognised alkalising effect that may help balance urinary pH. Potassium intake can fall short in diets low in fruits and vegetables, or when losses are increased due to intense physical activity or certain medications. Potassium citrate supplementation can then help meet recommended daily intake levels.
