## Description

Product Description Ketostix Reagent Strips for Urinalysis provide a quick and convenient solution for testing urine for the presence and concentration of acetoacetic acid (ketone body). This substance, when found in the urine provides information on carbohydrate and fat metabolism(1,2). Use of these strips can alert user and doctor or a diabetes care specialist to make changes or adjustments needed in your diet or medication. Carefully follow the testing schedule your doctor or diabetes care and education specialist establishes. Ketostix Reagent Strips provide early indication when ketone levels are out of balance and are easy to read with color-changing strips. Each bottle includes 100 ketone test strips. From the Manufacturer Established in 2016 through the acquisition of Bayer Diabetes Care by PHC Holdings (formerly known as Panasonic Healthcare Holdings), Ascensia Diabetes Care is a global company dedicated to improving the health and lives of people with diabetes. Already including the world‐renowned CONTOUR range of blood glucose monitoring systems, we are committed to adding more innovative and life­changing products to our portfolio.

Review: These strips work well for this low-carb dieter - I bought these strips to help me on the induction phase of my low-carb diet. They are easy to use and it is, for the most part, easy to tell if I am in ketosis or not. If you're not, it's a pretty obvious negative. If you are, the strip turns pink (for "trace" amount of ketones, which is the most you'll ever get on a low-carb diet). I test my pee in the morning, and it's fun to start the day off with an indication that I did well on my diet the day before! I think that these strips won't be effective forever, because in "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living," the authors mention that after a few weeks of ketosis, the body begins to adapt. "Within a few days of starting on carbohydrate restriction, most people begin excreting ketones in their urine. "...But over a matter of weeks, the muscles stop using these ketones for fuel. Instead, muscle cells take up acetoacetate, reduce it to betahydroxybutyrate, and return it back into the circulation. Thus after a few weeks, the predominant form in the circulation is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which also happens to be the ketone preferred by brain cells (as an aside, the strips that test for ketones in the urine detect the presence of acetoacetate, not beta-hydroxybutyrate). "In the kidney, this process of keto-adaptation is also complex. Over time, urine ketone excretion drops off, perhaps to conserve a valuable energy substrate (although urine ketone excretion never amounts to very many wasted calories). This decline in urine ketones happens over the same time-course that renal uric acid clearance returns to normal (discussed below) and thus may represent an adaptation in kidney organic acid metabolism in response to sustained carbohydrate restriction. These temporal changes in how the kidneys handle ketones make urine ketone testing a rather uncertain if not undependable way of monitoring dietary response/adherence. Testing serum for beta-hydroxybutyrate is much more accurate but requires drawing blood, and it is expensive because it is not a routine test that doctors normally order." (Phinney, Stephen; Volek, Jeff (2011-07-08). The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable (pp. 164-165). Beyond Obesity LLC. Kindle Edition.) So actually, if after a few weeks the strips say you're not in ketosis, it just may be a sign that your body has adapted to the low-carbohydrate diet, which is what you want. I've only been using them for about a week, so we'll see what happens in a few weeks. But for now, waking up and peeing on the strip and seeing it turn pink is very encouraging!
Review: Excellent if on a low carb diet - During a dental visit I discovered I had very high blood pressure and decided to immediately do a responsible, low-carb Atkins/ketogenic type diet as I knew being overweight was the cause. When the body switches from burning carbs to burning fat the liver produces ketones, which are acidic in nature. Keeping ketones in balance during a low-carb diet is essential, thus these 'pee strips' which allow you to measure where your body is in the process. They are simple to use - they are about 3" strips with the active part on the end. Hold the end in a 'pee stream' and it will turn a color based on ketones in the urine - the color gauge is on the side of the bottle and is simple to read. A great way to monitor your metabolism/liver output - and I've lost 15 pounds and my bp is 140/80 - but I'm on my way to losing 30 pounds. If I didn't have these to monitor my body I'd probably go all out protein which is not good, so these allow me to have some carbs and maintain balance. Good product, delivered timely!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: when do you know when your in ketois what color should the strip be in?**
A: Don't buy these strips. The color is always the same, no matter how many carbs I've eaten in a day. Very inaccurate and a waste of money.

**Q: Are these made by Bayer?**
A: No, but there are some made buy Bayer on Amazon.  The box looks very similar, but it shows the Bayer logo.  I've ordered them in the past.  If I remember correctly, they take longer to arrive.

**Q: does it meassure glucose in urine or only ketones?**
A: Just ketones.

**Q: Does anyone know the ingredients of this ketostix, both active and inactive ingredients?  Thanks**
A: The box I have does not list them. The product is not for internal consumption. The sticks detect the presence of acetoacetic acid (ketone) in liquids, and were designed specifically for urinalysis.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works!! It's very accurate!! Instructions were easy to follow!
*by F***N on June 8, 2012*

Yesterday I tested the concentration of ketones in my urine for the very first time with Ketostix - I urinated in a plastic, dipped the stix in/out and in 15 seconds it read dark pink (moderate). I had been on a 25g net carb diet for the past five days so I knew this was accurate. I'm only 10-15lbs abdominal fat away from reaching the perfectly flat abdomen I've always wanted. I'm male so abdominal fat is the very last to go in us men. I am very skeptical by nature - so I had my mother test her urine and it read negative - as expected - because she was not on a ketogenic diet like me (she's on a regular diet but starting today she will follow my diet!). This product is important for us ketodieters because - when we try new low-carb/carb-free products (e.g. bread, tortillas, cereal), this thing can tell us whether those food products truly have the amount of carbs they claim. In other words, this thing allows us to know when we may need to get rid of a certain food that may be interfering with ketosis. With this - I can now check for sure if those new food products that claim to be low-carb/carb-free really are genuine!! Happy customer!
