HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Citric Acid 590 mg by Dr. Clark Store
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: citric acid, 590 mg per capsule. The capsule itself is made from gelatin.
Does it work?
No specific claim
The evidence for citric acid isn't established in the data we hold. The supplement is marketed for acne, aging skin, dry mouth, kidney stones, melasma, and muscle cramps, but we have insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works for any of those uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Citric acid is generally recognized as safe in the small amounts found in foods and most supplements. However, this product is a concentrated medicinal dose, not a food amount — so check with your doctor before you start it.
When citric acid is applied to skin (as in peels or topical products), it's usually well tolerated at low concentrations, though it can cause mild irritation, sun sensitivity, and tingling. High concentrations or prolonged contact can cause serious burns and skin damage.
Alpha hydroxy acids like citric acid also increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun, which can raise your risk of sun damage and, with long-term use, skin cancer risk.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for citric acid in our data, but it's still wise to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you start — concentrated citrate supplements are a different story from food amounts, and they may have effects your healthcare provider needs to know about.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula marketed for general wellness rather than one specific gradeable purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Citric Acid 590 mg might appeal to you if you're exploring supplements for kidney stones, muscle cramps, or skin concerns — but the evidence for how well it works isn't established. Because this is a concentrated supplement (not just food citric acid), talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you take it, especially if you have kidney or heart concerns or take other medications.
