CITRATE

 

Other name:

Citric acid

Description

Citrate, also known as citric acid, is an organic acid found in lemons. It is involved in the Krebs cycle, also known as the citrate cycle.

This process is involved in cell metabolism and allows the production of GTP, a molecule used as an energy source by the cells.

Benefits

• Citrate has an acidic function. It contributes to an optimal acid-base balance.
• Citrate can also be combined with minerals and trace elements. This is the case with magnesium citrate and zinc citrate, for example. This form ensures a better bioavailability of the minerals, thus contributing to a better efficacy of action.
