Urinary Alkalizer without an Rx in the USA?

Bladder-filter: I'm looking for a good urinary alkalinizing agent that's available in the USA without a prescription (eg OTC, legal internet-ordered or store shelf).

It can be herbal, dietary, chemical or otherwise. Bonus points for palatability.

In the UK, Sodium Citrate is exactly the ticket, but it's Rx-only in the USA. I currently use sodium bicarbonate and am looking for something less foul tasting.

Best answer: The primary ingredient in Alka-Seltzer is sodium citrate. It is available over the counter.

Diet-wise, it looks like more fruit & veg is the way to go.

Response by poster: It's been a while since I asked this question, and a combo of Alka-Seltzer (there's an aspirin-free version now available) and drinking lots of water has definitely helped. Thank you!
