Question almost 6 years ago

How does Q Citra work?

Dr. Sangita Shah MBBS , General Physician

Q Citra contains disodium Hydrogen Citrate (an alkalinizing agent) which is metabolized into bicarbonate. Bicarbonate causes an increase in pH of urine (alkalinizes urine) by promoting the excretion of free bicarbonate ions, this leads to increase in solubility of cysteine which is present in the urine and this results in ionization of uric acid into more soluble urate ion. In this way Q Citra works and helps the body to get rid of excessive uric acid.
