I tried prescription potassium citrate years ago and quit because the pills were huge and rough on my stomach. LithoLyte 10 mEq goes into my morning water and I literally don't notice it. Two stones in five years, none since I started..

The classic LithoLyte stick. 10 mEq of balanced citrate+bicarbonate that dissolves clear into whatever you already drink.
60 Single-serve sticks per pouch: a one month supply. Zero taste, zero calorie, non-prescription. A blended alkali formula with 50% less potassium than our 15 mEq strength.

Maintaining adequate urinary citrate is one of the most studied ways to protect against unwanted calcium crystal buildup in the kidneys.
Citrate binds free calcium in urine before crystals can form, and gently raises urinary pH. Most adults — especially stone-prone ones — don’t get enough from diet alone. LithoLyte 10 mEq is the regular-strength version of our daily stick, for people who want to stay ahead of it.
The whole point of LithoLyte is that it fits wherever your day already goes.
Most customers pour a stick into their morning coffee, tea, or water bottle and move on. No scheduling, no pharmacies, no pill-counting.
Shop LithoLyte 10 mEq →Low urinary citrate is the one of the most common — and most correctable — cause of recurrent calcium stones.
LithoLyte 10 mEq raises that citrate gently and consistently, once a day, at a dose most stone-prone adults benefit from.

Lemon water is genuinely helpful. It’s also inconsistent, acidic, and easy to skip. Here’s how the two actually compare.

My nephrologist said 10 mEq daily was a fine starting point and easier on potassium. Labs at 12 weeks looked exactly where she wanted them. The taste-free part is real — I put it in iced tea..
I tried the squeeze-a-lemon-every-morning routine for a year. Skipped half the time. A stick takes three seconds and the dose is the same every day. Honestly the convenience is the whole product.
The pouch fits in my desk drawer; I tear one open between meetings. Half a star off because I wish the pouch had a stronger zip seal — minor.

"10 mEq is the dose I started LithoLyte on, and it's still the one that most patients get recommended first. A balanced citrate and bicarbonate stick, twice a day. Simple enough that people actually keep doing it."
