Making Potassium Citrate from Citric Acid From Lemons
Posted: Sat Aug 21, 2021 1:36 am
A lemon contains potassium citrate, but not as much as it contains citric acid.
Because I like my citric acid and citrate to be natural, and not made from molds as industrial citric acid is, what potassium salt can I react with citric acid to make potassium citrate?
The reason is I drink a potassium citrate solution to increase the zeta-potential of blood, to keep blood from becoming sludgy and susceptible to clotting. Especially in these times when people are being vaccinated more and aluminum adjuvants are likely to be used, this causes zeta potential to be lowered and increase the chance of thrombosis leading to strokes and heart attacks.
Since the potassium citrate powder I buy is an industrial source made from molds ), it isn't ideal. So I'd like to make potassium citrate instead from lemon.
What is a suitable potassium salt that will react with citric acid to make potassium citrate?
Thanks!
