is sodium bicarbonate alkaline
Both are. 'natural' as the body produces large amounts of sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the. stomach acid when it enters the intestines, and potassium citrate is the strongest alkalizing. agent in citrus fruit. When you dissolve sodium bicarbonate in water it is more alkaline than potassium citrate but. inside the body potassium citrate becomes a stronger alkalizer. Another difference is that. sodium bicarbonate should not be taken with meals as it then reduces our stomach acid.
