Effect of Potassium Bicarbonate on Bone and Muscle
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Potassium Bicarbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate, and 2 other interventions for Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia. Completed, enrolled 171 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
There is increasing evidence that the acid-base balance of diet plays an important role in the health of bones and muscles. An excess of acid in the body can result in calcium loss and muscle breakdown. Potassium bicarbonate, a base supplement, can neutralize acid within the body. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of potassium and bicarbonate, alone and combined, at reducing bone loss and preventing muscle wasting in older adults.
