Potassium citrate vs osteoporosis

Potassium citrate vs osteoporosis

Medical workers have been hypothesizing since 1960 that alkalizing materials like potassium citrate in the diet can help prevent metabolic acid attacking bone, causing osteoporosis. I'm a retired chemist, and think it should be expected. I saw a continuing medical education article a few years ago that convinced me it worked. I began preparing my own potassium citrate solutions and supplementing with about 30 mEQ daily two years ago. I've had no ill effects. I had a BMD DEXA scan the month before starting, but no further test.
