Important Information
Indications:
When fat is broken down for energy, the body makes substances called ketones (or ketone bodies). These are passed in the urine. Large amounts of ketones in the urine may mean a very serious condition, diabetic ketoacidosis, is present. A diet low in sugars and starches (carbohydrates), starvation, or severe vomiting may also cause ketones to be in the urine.
Directions:
Single use test.

Well as at this exact moment in time, I'm the fourth person to write a review on these. And in complete contrast to the other three, I have to review them as being a complete and utter waste of money! They don't work! Now I don't say this flippantly...my opinion is based on the following: I won't name names, but I have been on a commercial ketogenic diet plan for the last 4 weeks, and have stuck to it religiously. I have been "in ketosis" for the majority of this period (detected via various manual methods as advised by my plan consultant) and I'm happy to say, the weight has been falling off! However, in all that time, I have never had a single positive result. Of any grade on the scale! Although I always test the first urine of the day, I thought it might be that my urine was too dilute, as I drink somewhere around 3.5 litres of water a day. So for four days, I hardly drank anything, then did a test, and it was still negative. Having my suspicions about the accuracy of the tests, I then ordered a box of Ketostix (which I should have just gone ahead and done to begin with, rather than trying to save a couple of pounds by going generic) and hey presto, first test out of the box (done alongside one of these) was a positive result, against yet another negative from these. And so was the case for the whole of the next week I dual tested. They were sealed and in tact when I got them, and I kept them tightly sealed throughout. Perhaps I just got a duff batch, who knows! But my advice, if you really want to get an accurate result, go for the brand name, because there's a heck of a difference in quality, for the sake of a couple of pounds!

Originally I paid over a fiver for a pack of the brand name "ketostix". These work just as well, although you have to wait slightly longer for the results (up to 40 seconds). To be honest though, after 20 seconds you'll be able to see if there are ketones present without a problem.
So all in all, cheaper than alternatives and 100 test strips instead of 50!
Quick delivery too.

These are brilliant! Work just as well as the much pricier brands, arrived quickly and are a bargain considering you can pay twice as much for just 50 strips with other makes!
I think that perhaps it's not showing up in searches... it's the only reason I can think of for why people still buy the other types! Yes you do have to be careful not to get them damp etc but that's the same with all ketone testing strips.
I'm on a low-carb diet and these are very reassuring.

As good as any other brand!
I found these as good as the big name brands and there are twice as many for the same price. They do take a little longer to produce a reading (maybe 20 seconds) so be patient with... Read more
