Just Fitter Ketone Urine Test Strips

I follow a strict low carb induction diet, these are a must and this brand works really well. It takes a while to get into ketosis, and the smallest thing can knock you out of it. These strips help keep you accountable. That one tablespoon of peanut butter, one glass of wine, small bag of nuts.... they all knock you out of ketosis. These strips couldn't be easier to use - put it in your urine stream (or dip it if you have issues), then wait 15 seconds and compare it to the color chart. I was doing really well, then had a couple cocktails last night at a play and today's results were not only disappointing, they forced me to keep a strict count on my carbs today, good motivation. This is a great price plus you get bonus strips. Make sure you keep this jar sealed up and out of the sun in a dry place, they do go bad over time. Take one out and seal the lid back up before you even use the bathroom. I say this from experience. If you leave the lid off once you risk ruining the entire bottle. I do feel like they are less effective the older they are (once opened).[...]

I stand alongside the other one-star reviewers here. Bought these a couple of months ago. They have been kept sealed in the container, along with the desiccant, in the bathroom. Now they are ALL discoloured, having gone a greyish purple - plenty of photos from other reviews. Do yourself a favour - spend a couple more quid and get Bayer Ketostix. JustFitter are rubbish.

No, they are not as accurate as a blood test but they also don't cost anywhere near as much either. You get more than enough strips to monitor your ketosis and although the results given aren't as detailed as a blood test either; the colour on the strip changes and then you match it up with the colour code on the box or bottle, they do work. I, like other buyers, have experienced varied results where one minute you're in ketosis and the a few hours later you're completely out of it. I think that this is from using the mid-stream method, i.e. peeing directly onto the strip. Yes you will get results but i don't feel they can be trusted. The product itself suggests testing just the first urination of the day to get an accurate representation of your ketones but i think i have a better suggestion.you can use any times urination you want but instead of peeing directly onto the strip, catch some into a small container. Here, i do catch just the middle of the stream, letting the start and end go on its more natural journey down the toilet. Then i just put the strip into the container and hold it there for a approx 3 second, give it a little swirl whilst i do being careful not to touch the bottom or the sides of the actual container - don't want any contact contaminants. Instead of shaking the excess off, which i think dries it out before it can do its thing, i treat it more like a spoon in a cup of tea and give it a little knock on the edge. This leaves enough to be absorbed and tested yet not too much where it's just dripping. Leave it rest for approx 10 - 15 seconds and you'll get a better, more accurate result that way with a much deeper colour to compare to the colour guide.Look, they do work and yes it's a little more fiddly and doesn't give you exact information like a blood test and you might even get a dud now and then (i haven't since doing my method) but they are cheap and do the job. If you're really serious about keto and you have all the cookbooks, read all the articles and have decided that it's going to be a lifestyle and not just a few months diet to shed those extra layers; then you've already decided to get the blood tester. If you just want to know if you've reached ketosis and don't want to prick your finger every day or so - then these strips will do the job for you. If you don't like them then try another brand - they're all in the same price range but this product in particular does work and does what it promises. Can't say fairer than that.Plus it means for men you get to pee into a container and if you can't turn that into a game no matter what your age, then i'm afraid there's no help for you.

Bought these not long after their manufacture in June 2017. Use by date was till June 2019. But here we are half way through their usable life and they no longer work. In fact they have not worked for about three months. I now get a negative result no matter what. I am a doctor and can keto-test at work. I am in ketosis; but not if these strips are to be believed. In my view a waste of money as they do not do what it says on the tin. Chose another product.

Further to my updated review, the supplier contacted me within 24 hrs and offered me a repayment or a replacement, and I have accepted a replacement. I will use the new strips and update my ‘star rating after a week or so. They also offered the following advice:Thank you for your message about the test strips. Please note that the strips are very sensitive to heat, light and moisture, therefore after the foil seal has been broken the strips usually will have a life of up to 90 days. If they have turned a greyish colour then the strips have most definately been compromised. Please note that we do also sell a 3 x 50 resealable pack, which is great if you are not likely to use the 125 strips within the 90 day period. They stay fresh as you only open 50 strips at any one time...................Updated Review - after a couple of months of using these strips, I have continued to lose weight, but despite correct storage, whilst the strips I first used worked, the strips now do not change colour at all, be it to show I am not in ketosis or that I am in ketosis. I assume they are faulty and have contacted the supplier, and await a reply...........Old Review: This was my first purchase of Keto strips, so I took some time reading the feedback on the various product options available before deciding to buy Ketone Keto Urine Test Strips, and at the time of writing I am very pleased with my purchase. After opening the mail pack I found that the product was nicely boxed, and the plastic bottle inside was vacuum wrapped, and this had to be removed before I could finally open the plastic bottle to remove a strip, It also included a good level of product information and instructions for use. I have given the product 4 Stars only because I have just starting using the sticks, so cannot really assess their validity, although that said I continue to lose weight on the Keto diet, and the strips do indicate that I am in the Keto zone. I don't want to get out of the Keto zone just to check out the strips, but if I do, I will update my review to reflect my findings. A good product at a great price!
