About this deal
It’s viewed as a safer alternative to conventional disinfectant and cleaning products, such as quat and chlorine bleach ( 1). Summary
Citric acid — in the form of potassium citrate — prevents new kidney stone formation and breaks apart those already formed ( 20, 21, 22). Lambros M, Tran T (Henry), Fei Q, Nicolaou M. Citric acid: a multifunctional pharmaceutical excipient. Pharmaceutics. 2022;14(5):972. doi:10.3390/pharmaceutics14050972 Autumn Statement: Workers to pay less in national insurance – but rate cuts don't offset the freezing of personal tax thresholds Wiria MSS, Tran HM, Nguyen PHB, et al. Relative bioavailability and pharmacokinetic comparison of calcium glucoheptonate with calcium carbonate. Pharmacol Res Perspect. 2020;8(2). doi:10.1002/prp2.589It’s also sometimes added to canned fruits and vegetables to protect against botulism, a rare but serious illness caused by the toxin-producing Clostridium botulinum bacterium. Medicines and dietary supplements
Manufactured citric acid is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ( 5). Citrate — a closely related molecule of citric acid — is the first molecule that forms during a process called the citric acid cycle. In either case, the scientists suggested that the symptoms were most likely related to the mold used to produce the citric acid rather than the compound itself. Summary This is because producing this additive from citrus fruits is too expensive, and the demand far exceeds the supply. Summary Walker AF, Marakis G, Christie S, Byng M. Mg citrate found more bioavailable than other Mg preparations in a randomised, double-blind study. Magnes Res. 2003;16(3):183-191.Humans and other organisms derive the majority of their energy from this cycle. Enhances nutrient absorption
Mineral supplements, such as magnesium and calcium, may also contain citric acid (in the form of citrate) to enhance absorption.
