Mechanism of Action
Sodium citrate is absorbed and metabolized to sodium bicarbonate, thus acting as a systemic alkalizer. The effects are essentially those of chlorides before absorption and those of bicarbonates subsequently. Oxidation is virtually complete so that less than 5% of sodium citrate is excreted in the urine unchanged. Disodium Hydrogen Citrate works by neutralizing the excess acid in the blood and urine.It is also used as acidity regulator and sequestrat.
