Kidney stones form when urine in the kidney becomes supersaturated with stone-forming salts, and when the urine doesn’t contain enough stone preventing substances like citrate. Regular consumption of lemon juice may increase the production of urinary citrate. This helps prevent the formation of crystals. Kidney stones will give you sudden, intense pain in your flank. It is not only uncomfortable, but very unhealthy. People prone to kidney stones are prescribed potassium citrate. While lemon juice may not be as effective as potassium citrate, it works well if you want to avoid medication. The current trend is to make adjustments in your diet and lifestyle, and decrease reliance on medication. So be current, drink lemon juice regularly.
