Description

Potassium citrate is a salt of potassium and citric acid. It is used as an antacid to help relieve the symptoms of heartburn, sour stomach, and acid indigestion.

It is usually taken with calcium pantothenate to provide additional relief for people who have low levels of these chemicals in their urine. The phase transition temperature for potassium citrate is approximately 33°C (91°F).
