In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a single-center study that aims to learn more about how two compounds found in food, oxalate and citrate, interact in the body and may influence a person's chances of forming kidney stones. The study will examine changes in urinary oxalate and citrate levels after participants consume potassium citrate.
