Ketone Testing Strips

A convenient way of testing for ketone body spill over, an indicator for people on low  carb diets that they have entered a state of fat burning as lipolysis. Each bottle contains 100 strips.

Can pinpoint a problem for people who are not responding to (low carb, ketogenic) diet.
Serves as a motivational tool by showing tangible evidence of diet success.
The darker the strip turns in color, the more fat you’re burning!

Testing for Ketone
This test is based on the reaction of acetoacetic acid (ketone) with sodium nitroprusside in a strongly basic medium.  The colors range from beige or buff-pink color for a "Negative" reading to pink-purple color for a "Positive" reading.

Reagents (Based on dried weight at time of impregnation)
7.7% w/w sodium nitroprusside balanced with buffer and nonreactive ingredients.
