What does Urosept contain, and why are citrates needed? — Urosept dragee No. 30

According to the card, the daily dose (6 tablets) contains extract of birch leaves, parsley root and bean pods, dry extract of lingonberry leaves and dry extract of chamomile, as well as potassium citrate (114 mg) and sodium citrate (96 mg). Why the citrates are needed and what effect they have, the card does not explain.

General information (not a manufacturer's instruction): this is a food supplement, not a medicine; potassium and sodium citrates are mineral components, so people on a potassium or sodium restriction should consult a doctor in advance.
