Zest Test Keto + pH Strips help you to test your pH levels at the same time as you test your ketosis level.
When on the keto diet, the change of diet may affect the acidity and alkalinity of your body. This can sometimes cause an unpleasant body odour, sometimes known as Keto Crotch.
It is possible to manage the foods that you are eating to get a good body pH level while adhering to the keto diet, however it is important that you are regularly testing so that you can quickly and easily adjust your diet to suit.
The Zest Keto Ketone/pH test strips measure both your ketosis levels and your ph levels on the same strip, using the same urine sample.
Ketone Levels: Ketone test strips measure the ketone levels in your urine when on a ketogenic or low carb diet to monitor when the body is in ketosis
pH Levels: pH test strips measure the levels of acid or alkaline in your urine. Some diets may contribute to an imbalance in pH levels. A pH reading of 7.0 is neutral and above is alkaline.

- Compare against chart for results
Keep out of reach of children. For testing urinary Ketone and pH levels only. Important: Read enclosed directions. Store at temperatures between +2C and +-30C and out of direct sunlight. Do not store in a refrigerator or in your bathroom. Use within 6 months after first opening. Do not remove desiccant from bottle. Replace cap immediately and tightly.
Re-attach the stopper immediately after removing a test strip. Test strips which have been spoilt by exposure to humidity can be recognised by a dark discoloration of the test area on the unused strip. Such test strips should no longer be used.
Zest Keto + pH Strips are dual-action urine test strips designed to help monitor both ketosis levels and urinary pH levels while following a ketogenic or low carbohydrate diet.
The strips provide a simple and convenient way to track whether the body is producing ketones, which may indicate a state of ketosis. At the same time, they also measure urinary pH levels to help monitor acid and alkaline balance while making dietary adjustments on a keto lifestyle.
Changes in diet during ketosis may influence urinary pH levels and, for some people, may contribute to body odour changes sometimes associated with ketogenic diets. Regular monitoring may help users make informed dietary adjustments to support a more balanced pH level while remaining in ketosis.
Each strip measures both ketone and pH levels using the same urine sample, making testing quick, easy and convenient at home.
What are Zest Keto + pH Strips used for?
They are used to measure urinary ketone levels and urinary pH levels while following a ketogenic or low carbohydrate diet.
What do ketone levels indicate?
Ketone levels may help indicate whether the body is in a state of ketosis, where fat is being used as a primary fuel source.
Why is urinary pH important on a keto diet?
Changes in diet may affect urinary acidity or alkalinity. Monitoring pH levels may help support dietary adjustments to maintain a more balanced pH level.
Can these strips test both ketones and pH at the same time?
Yes. Each strip measures both ketone and pH levels using the same urine sample.
How long does it take to get results?
Ketone results are read after approximately 40 seconds, while pH results are read after approximately 60 seconds.
How should the strips be stored?
Store the strips between 2°C and 30°C, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Do not refrigerate or store in a bathroom.
How long do the strips last after opening?
The strips should be used within 6 months of opening the bottle.
Can humidity affect the test strips?
Yes. Exposure to humidity may damage the strips. Discoloured unused strips should not be used.
