Ascensia Bayer Ketostix Diagnostic Urine Test Strip

Quick and accurate results. Have been purchasing these for months now.

Easy to use. Does what it says. Speedy delivery.

I got these ketostix to test my urine to see if I was in Keytosis. I was trying a special sugar free diet and it was an essential part of it that I test twice a day, As far as o could tell, these strips did the job perfectly. Easy to use, just take one from the airtight container and dip into your urine. Has handy instructions on side of container, you just wait and look at what colour it ends up at. Then look for the same colour on the side of the container, and it tells you your reading. Sometimes a food can contain sugar when it says it contains none. This will kick you out of keytosis and these strips will tell you. I identified a few diet drinks that if you read the small print do contain sugar. I liked the convenience of these strips I stored mine in bathroom. So when I need them no problem. Overall I think these are good value and I would recommend.

Happy with the ketostix, arrived quickly, good value. I would buy again.

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. Update: Two years later, ketostix registering neg, Blood keto meter 0.5. I should have pointed out,when I started keto diet 18 years ago I weighed 265 lbs. I lost weight quickly,about a pound per day, Hard to believe but true,four months later weighed 144 lbs. Naturally occasional relapse,but always got back on track. Eighteen years later weight is about, 148 lbs P.S. I am 78 years old ,no serious health issues.

Worked great for the 1st 2 weeks then stopped reacting. They were reacting and i was getting a pink reading, but then I had a birthday carb splurge so knew I wasn't in ketosis anymore, I carried on testeing for the next 3 days back on strict keto and all tests were negative. I had ordered a new pack which arrived on day 3 back on keto and they went pink straight away, I used the old ones at the same time and they were still negative so clearly they had expired. So as per other reviews, they have a very short shelf life, 2 weeks in my case and not the 6 months stated o the tube. Useful and reassuring for 2 weeks, but if you have a hiccup down the line and then want to check you're in ketosis again, be prepared to buy a new pack.

Love them 🙂 gives me reassurance that I know I'm doing the right thing on my keto diet. I've been doing keto and intermittent fasting since March 2019. I highly recommend it! I also sometimes do short HIIT workouts and reverse sit ups. Lost 85lbs so far 💪🏼

Results from the last 3 days of fasting

Sto facendo un esperimento di circa un mese con una nutrizione (non dieta) ketogenica, per capire se la mia glicemia che stava diventando un po ballerina con accumulo di grassi che di solito andavano via velocemente, specialmente nella zona sopra l'ombelico. Nulla di esagerato ma avendo 47 anni meglio essere in forma prima che tutto cambi (si spera di no) :) In ogni caso volevo che l'esperimento fosse il piu' preciso possibile per capire quando il mio corpo sarebbe entrato in ketosi e come la glicemia e il grasso ne avrebbero risentito (cammino gia da prima, circa 10km al gg ma non vedevo risultati esagerati). Beh in soli 6 gg tutto e' cambiato! Come si vede dalla striscia (che fino a 2 gg fa era a ketosi leggera) oggi si e' scurita molto e sto entrando nella fase "pesante". Quindi per me che sto limitando i carboidrati a meno di 20grammi (che fatica!! ahah) sono cominciata a entrare in ketosi in circa 3 gg.e al 5 gg ho avuto la svolta. Lo vedo anche da come mi vestono i jeans, ora finalmente nessun rotolino che spunta e sto davvero in forma come prima!Ovviamente una alimentazione cosi non e' sostenibile per me nel lungo periodo ma reintrodurro i carboidrati lentamente e mi terro' piu bassa di prima (aiutata da queste strisce che sembrano molto valide e facili da leggere). Importante, seguire bene le istruzioni, io aspetto che le mie urine siano concentrate, di solito dopo la camminata o la sera, uso un barattolo sterile e metto la zona reagentea mollo per un secondo. poi conto fino a 15 (o potete settare il cellulare se preferite). I risultati si leggono a 15 secondi. Dopo possono essere falsati e dopo un po la striscia diventa sul grigio quando e' asciutta, quindi non e' difettata, funziona cosi. Non fatevi spaventare dalle istruzioni, lunghe e dettagliate e soprattutto utili per i diabetici (che non devono avere troppi chetoni o e' pericoloso). per chi non ha questo problema, entrare in chetosi e' diverso. Ma parlatene sempre con un medico. Io faro' le analisi per verificare che tutto stia procedendo bene e i miei organi non siano sovraccarichi o altro. per le strisce do 5 stelle perche' fanno perfettamente il loro dovere. Consiglio il barattolo piuttosto che metterle sotto il flusso di urina, e' piu' preciso. Le ricomprero' di sicuro. Ne uso una al giorno quindi anche il rapporto qualita' prezzo e' buono!

Al principio pensé que estaban defectuosas porque las tiras traen un color parecido al negativo sin llegar a usarse (pero es normal). Después de dos días dando negativo, al fin al tercero siguiendo al pie de la letra la dieta y haciendo deporte logré entrar en cetosis y lo marcan perfectamente las tiras. Creí que venían defectuosas pero no, es que son así. La “almohadilla” del final de la tira no es blanca como yo pensaba, es igual que el color negativo, pero más tenue.

Does what it says on the tin

Arrived on time, they work well. The plastic tab keeps you from urinating on your hand. I keep them to check in on my state of ketosis. Cheaper than the ones my pharmacy was selling. You can't cut these to use them however, the reactive strip is only on the tip. The colour guide on the side is spot on and easy to reference.
