Ascensia Bayer Ketostix Diagnostic Urine Test Strip

These are excellent. React quickly, easy to compare to colour chart in container to see where you are in ketosis. I don’t keep them in the bathroom to keep them as dry as possible. Will definitely buy again.

I am doing Michael Mosley fast 800 diet. I wanted to test to see if I was in ketosis and these are perfect. On a day when I eat some berries & yoghurt & a few beans I end up showing the second pink marking (first stage of ketosis). It is so useful to experiment and see what I can eat and still be in ketosis. Eat too much and I stay in the light pink zone, (not in ketosis). Once a month I do a 44 hour no-food-fast & then it goes to a darker tone, ie further into ketosis. So utterly fascinating! More exercise or fewer calories also moves me into ketosis. All these things I never knew! I don't believe in the Akins diet, or prolonged full time ketosis which I think is harmful. My interest is in a Mediterranean low carb diet that touches on light ketosis. This seems to give excellent energy and good fat loss while preserving muscle. I also like to build "metabolic flexibility" which is the ability to easily move into and out of ketosis as desired. I am getting good at it. I never realised that calorie restriction as well as carb restriction can lead to ketosis. Michael's book is the first time I came across this and it works. I have also found that I can cycle for several hours at a gentle pace in a state of ketosis with no carbs which was something that I thought was not possible. In fact it feels really good & fat drops away. I am experimenting every day. These are very affordable & fast acting & easy to use. I pee in a pot and dip the stick in as that seems to give a more accurate reading. I am very grateful for this tool. I never expected this journey to be so much fun! I look forward to getting up in the morning & seeing what my body is doing today! Good luck to everyone on your personal journeys

Very easy to use and works well.

Reliable and easy to use ketone test strips. The results are clear and appear quickly, making them very convenient for regular keto monitoring. Packaging is simple and instructions are straightforward. I’ve taken off one star only because the color scale can be a bit subjective under different lighting, but overall they do exactly what they’re meant to do. Would recommend for anyone on a ketogenic diet.

Now my 14th purchase . If you are beginning a keto diet,it is a good cheap buy. Unfortunately the more you progress the more your body adapts,on an individual basis. Typically a few weeks to months,sorry but that is the truth. When I started keto diet years ago,I entered ketosis quickly on a2 day fast. My monitoring ketotostix 2.0 to4+ . The numbers are what my body is expelling,not what my body is using. Blood ketone meter showed average 2.4. YES use ketostix,as you advance you will need a blood meter and see the different numbers.Blood meters are considered the gold standard. Bought 14 times they are a good product for measuring expelled ketones. Keto adaption : Google Keto Schwatka imperative.

I have now ordered 8 tubes of these keto sticks and probably only half of them have given a accurate reading. I can use two out of same pot and only one will show results
