AscensiaBayer Ketostix Diagnostic Urine Test Strip

Works as described, perfect for checking if in ketosis.

Great for use when on Keto Diet

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.

Delivered fast. Good way to monitor ketones

Excellent product. Fast delivery.

I've had two batches of these. the first was 5 stars and worked well. THe second batch were faulty and the colour was not coming up strong.I did like to use these if I've been on a family holiday and might accidentally have been carbed. But now my body tells me. If hunger hurts after eating a few hours ago, then I know I've been over carbed and come out of ketosis!

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

Yes these work! They show colour change when on keto diet!
