Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Urinary Calcium Phosphate Saturation

    This variable represents a ratio of the calcium phosphate saturation in a given urine sample to the calcium phosphate saturation at the point of precipitation and hence this measure has no units.

    2 weeks

Study Arms (6)

Placebo, then Citric Acid, then Potassium Citrate

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive at random, First intervention (1 week), then experience a washout period (1 week) and then receive Second Intervention (1 week) followed by another washout period of 1 week to finally receive the Third Intervention (1 week)
