Stone and citrate: Kidney stones are formed from calcium, oxalate, and urate. Citrate inhibits stone formation in the urine. Magnesium also inhibits stone formation. High intake of citrate is essential to prevent stone formation. Some individuals are citrate deficient. Urine citrate should be measured.
