Perfect Keto Ketone Test Strips Kit for Testing Ketones on Low Carb Ketogenic Diet, Monitor Ketosis, Keto Diet Tracker, Urine Test Strips, 100 CT

These are easy to use and work great

My husband and I have been on a keto kick for the past year and it is truly becoming a way of life. We both feel better. Aside from losing weight, which is the main reason we started, we also feel like we have more energy and I can certainly say for myself that I no longer experience heartburn or other GI discomfort I used to deal with when I was not on a low carb/keto diet. Anway, these strips are fantastic! They came in the mail a few days ago on time and perfectly packaged. I have used other brands in the past and these work just as well. They are lower in price compared to others and that is absolutely wonderful. These strips are helpful to have while on a low carb diet as it does help signify if changes or adjustments need to be made in the diet. The customer service of this brand is top-notch! I truly appreciate it. I know that these strips along with my chocolate sea salt ketones will help me continue to be successful. I will be reviewing the ketone supplement separately after a few more days of use but I've been able to drop 2 pounds over the past 4 days with the help of the strips in conjunction with the supplement :).

They work like any other test strip. I hold it in my hand and pee directly on it and hit my stopwatch feature on my phone and wait 40 seconds to read it. Much easier method than collecting urine in a cup and swirling the teststrip in it. **The 2 photos where taken within about 3-5 seconds of each other. Photo 1 was at 39 seconds, photo 2 was taken at about 43 second. ** PROS: extra long strips in comparison to the others I've used. Only takes a drop of urine. Once urine makes contact with strip it immediately starts registering ketone in urine. Offers a visual color gage on outside of bottle. Detailed instructions are included inside box with bottle of strips. CONS: strips are a little narrow, thin and flimsy to hold. Tester spot on strip is smaller and not as adhered as it was on others I've tried and it will start to peel off if not carefully and quickly placed in urine stream while urinating. Color guide is to close in shades from trace to small to moderate to get a true accurate reading, it's more of a general in this range kinda color guide for amounts of ketones expelled in urine. Also, don't like that they keep getting darker immediately after the 40 sec are up so getting a true/accurate reading again is just general range idea and MUST NOT BE READ AFTER THE 40 SECONDS ARE UP or you get a false reading. Strips don't determine if you are IN ketosis it only shows you if your body is producing and expeling excess ketones in your urine thus helping you stay on track towards the ketogenic goals. The best and most accurate way to tell if you are in ketosis is with a blood test monitor using a drop of blood on special ketone strip. This will tell you if you've reached ketosis, not a urine strip test. FINAL WORDS: These strips are okay. Not sure I'd repurchase but I will finish using them up. They do work good enough for monitoring my ketone productions whether its after I have a carb cycling day, a hard fast, or just my normal daily keto diet days.

Pro: I love the convenience of these and I find that you don't need 40 seconds to read (unless perhaps you're 'wishing to be in ketosis"). I don't use a cup. Just mid-stream I'm not OCD (heh he says) but when starting Keto (2.5# per week with Chronometer) I bought a meter so I could track accurately. That worked fine - and I am/was also pre-diabetic. So I was pricking and measuring both ketones and glucose daily. I didn't use the meter app much - but tracked hard until I got into the 1-2 range. But then when I pretty much stayed there - ? wOw, Ok, I'm not a wimp but still the process, cost ($1.20 for both strips per day), to find that (1) My Ketosis was solid close to 1.5, and Glucose was doing well and trending out of pre-diabetes (still anxious to see my A1C), So I Was still loving the meter - but - pondering the strips - and Keto Mojo changed their meter design - I started looking. Checked around. And found these. PRO: Quick and easy to use - fast enough unless perhaps you're at the low end of the scale. CON: Wish the color chart more closely matched the strips. It's not a huge issue - but I've never found an indicator strip (including aquarium) that closely matched. Here it's mostly hue but still. So you won't know if you're 1.4 or 1.7 but more that you're say > 1 and < 2. Which unless you're dialing in a meal is just fine. Summary: If you want to know exactly spot check - then get the meter. it'll also help if you need glucose at that time. If you want to know if you're doing well in Ketosis - then these are far less expensive and very adequate for tracking your continued success on Ketosis.

Works as it should

Poor readings, unreliable. I'm starting to be able to sense what level of ketosis I'm in. 2 other brands of keto test strips reflect where I feel I'm at and match each other on results. This brand is way out every time.

Works as effectively as per directions. Excellent service with speedy delivery.

I was happy with the quality and quick results. I use these for diet purposes and feel they are accurate.

24 hours in now. Test strips just go grey, no colour change.
