Shipping Questions:
Q. Do you ship to my country?
A. Yes. We ship to almost any country in the world. We offer shipping with the United States Postal Service, DHL and UPS.
Q. Does my kit come with control solution?
A. No. Control solution is available for purchase, but it is not included in the kits. The meters are all calibrated at the factory and tested before they are shipped out to you. Because of that we can keep the costs lower by not automatically adding solution to the kits.
Q. Are there duties and customs fees for my order?
A. For orders shipped with the United States Postal Service (USPS) we try to take care of them, but in a very small number of orders there are duties due. For DHL orders duties are due upon delivery.
Q. Why is shipping so much?
A. We make no money on shipping. We charge the actual cost of shipping. Shipping is weight based. All kits ship for the same amount of money, so ordering kits with more ketone strips gives you a better per strip cost. Also, 3 containers of strips ships for the same amount of money. Using Canada as an example,
1 container of ketone stirps (50) ships for $10.50. Strips $50, plus shipping $10.50 is $60.50 or $1.21 per strip.
3 containers of strips (150) ships for $10.50. Strips 150, plus shipping $10.50 equals $160.50 or $1.07 per strip.
By ordering 3 vials instead of 1 your cost per strip is 14 cents less and with 3 containers you'd save $21.
All costs for this example are in US Dollars.
Q; What payment methods do you accept?
A: We accepted all types of credit cards (Visa, Mastercared, American Express and Discover) as well as PayPal and Amazon pay.
Keto Test Strips: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why use blood testing?
A: A ketosis blood testis more accurate at measuring ketones in the body than breath or urine testing. Depending on your levels of hydration, urine can dilute the amount of ketones in the reading, giving you a less-than-perfect ketones test reading.
Q: Is the ketosis diet dangerous?
A: When done correctly, the ketosis diet is not dangerous and is a great way to lose weight.
Q: When and how often should you check your ketone levels with our test strips?
A: When testing your blood ketone levels you’ll want to test in the afternoons to early evenings. Ketone levels tend to be lowest in the morning and rise throughout the day. Your highest level will be in the afternoon. Regardless of when you test your blood ketones it is improtant to test at the same time each day. Since ketone levels go up and down throughout the day based on normal biological rhythms you’ll want to be sure you are comparing under similar conditions.
Q:How do keto test strips work?
A: Use a keto test strip the same way you would test your blood sugar levels- prick your finger, squeeze a drop of blood out, and use the BKT Ketone meter to test your blood.
Q: Can I reuse ketone strips?
A: No, you cannot reuse your ketone strips.
Q: What ketones test reading should I be looking for?
A: A 0.5 mmol to 1.5 mmol ketogenic strip reading is considered “mild ketosis.”
Deep ketosis, which is best for weight loss, is between 1.5 mmol and 3.0mmol/L
A reading over 6.0 mmol/L indicates the beginning of a dangerous state known as ketoacidosis. While it’s almost impossible to get to reach this state on a standard ketogenic diet alone, type 1 diabetics can sometimes notice this when their insulin levels are extremely low. This would require medical attention and should be treated immediately.
Benefits of Ketosis
- Weight loss potential - Adult obesity rates are highest in the United States, Mexico, New Zealand and Hungary. One just needs to efficiently manage their ketosis levels using ketone test strips regularly.
- Suppresses a key hunger hormone - The hormoneGhrelinprevents the body from feeling full. The ketogenic diet reduces ghrelin levels, which is how the ketogenic diet mimics a starvation state, without typical hunger pains.
- Controls glucose - A study involving overweight adults with type 2 diabetes revealed that the ketogenic diet is an effective weight loss technique and effective in controlling glucose levels.
- Improves memory and reduces midlife mortality - In the journal Cell Metabolism, researchers fed mice a ketogenic diet every other week. The results suggested a prevention of memory decline and decreased obesity.
- Reduces free radical production - Research suggests that maintaining a ketogenic diet reduces the brain's free radical levels. When free radicals exceed acceptable levels, they create 'oxidative stress.' The resulting process has the potential to modify cell membranes, lipids and proteins, among others.
Utilizing a ketones test is the only way to know for sure if you are in a ketosis state. Our ketone test strips give a quick and accurate reading of your blood, making this keto test the best tool for your ketosis journey.
Signs You’re in Ketosis
- Weight Loss
Weight loss studies show both short- and long-term weight loss on ketogenic diets. First, there's a rapid water weight drop, but that's just the beginning. Maintaining a calorie deficit results in dropping more pounds. It's important not only to know when you're in ketosis, but whether you're in the optimal range. Most strips simply show a positive or negative result. So, use reliable ketogenic strips and a keto test meter that measures whether your ketone levels are between 0.1 mmol/L to 8.0mmol/L.
2. Increased Ketones in the Blood
The main indication that your ketogenic diet is working is an increase in ketones and decrease in blood sugar levels. This means that your body has started burning fat as its primary fuel source. Measuring ketones in the blood provides the most accurate ketone test results, and it's important that you use quality ketone strips for accuracy. A small pinprick on your finger takes a few seconds and yields results that help improve your weight loss efforts.
You can also use a breath analyzer to measure ketones in your body. It measures how much acetone is in your system. This can give you an idea of how effective your dietary changes are. However, it's not as accurate as a ketosis blood test using a monitor and ketogenic strips.
4. Reduction in Appetite or Cravings
Many people experience a reduction in appetite while on a ketogenic diet. This may be due to increased protein and vegetable consumption that leaves you feeling fuller longer. Ketones may even influence the brain to reduce hunger.
5. Increased Focus and Energy
This is one of the bonuses of a ketogenic diet. If you don't feel tired during the usual afternoon slump, your body is likely in ketosis. This makes a huge difference in your productivity. When your body is operating efficiently, you have an ample supply of fuel for brain function.
6. Bad Breath
Bad breath is an often reported, but temporary, side effect of ketosis. It's caused by acetone that is exhaled when you breathe. A cloying fruity or unpleasant smell can accompany early stages of a ketogenic diet. Buy some gum and remember that it's a short-term symptom with a long term pay off. To confirm whether you are in ketosis or just have halitosis, measure your ketone levels with a monitor and keto test strips.
7. Toilet Issues
Constipation and diarrhea are common symptoms when you make a sudden change to your diet. For constipation, add more fiber or magnesium to your daily intake. For diarrhea, just remember that this is a temporary effect of adding more fat to your diet. A fiber supplement can help it pass more quickly. Some lucky participants experience no change from their regular routine.
8. Short-term Fatigue
The initial switch to your dietary habits probably involves temporary weakness and fatigue. Many people quit at this stage without reaping the full benefits of a ketogenic diet. If you are worried your fatigue may have other causes, use a keto test to determine if you are in ketosis.
9. Short-Term Decreases in Performance
A ketogenic diet typically leads to a short-term decrease in athletic performance. After several weeks, most participants return to their normal performance levels during workouts and competitions. As in other cases when you aren't sure if you are in ketosis, a keto test can ease your mind.
10. Insomnia
Poor sleep usually clears up after the initial stages of ketosis. If you are concerned about long-term insomnia, verify that you are in ketosis using a reliable ketones test with accurate keto test strips.
