Not useful for nutritional ketosis
So, the product works, which is why I am giving it five stars. However I would like to take this opportunity to inform anyone reading this; you do NOT need to test your pee if you are using a ketogenic diet for weight loss. If you eat below 20-25 grams of carbs a day, you WILL be in ketosis. Period. These types of testing strips were designed for diabetics but are now marketed with the hype to the dieters. YES, we ordered them for the dieting purpose. NO, I didn't know any better at the time. YES, it was a waist of money....However, I can understand that seeing a visual representation that your new diet is doing SOMETHING, ANYTHING to your body can give you a boost in motivation. If you understand that that's all this is good for in nutritional ketosis, then by all means, purchase away! Do not, however, over analyze the results. No matter how many ketones your peeing out, making them is all that matters. The longer you are on keto, the lower the reading is going to be anyway as your body is becoming more efficient at burning the ketones, thereby releasing less of them into your urine.AGAIN: eat under 20 grams of carbs and you're in ketosis without any need to test UNLESS you are diabetic, in which case you should be hearing all this from your doc anyway and not some random on an Amazon review.

Only good for 1 month
These 'went bad' after only a month. I kept them in the container with the lid and they were all completely useless after 4 weeks.

Quality Control
It works, it usually takes me 4 days to get into Ketosis and I used it every day and like usual the 4th day I was in Ketosis. I only gave it 3 stars because some quality control is needed, I’ve run into several sticks that didn’t have the “test” strip on it/ it was a very little piece of any. They promise 125 sticks but I’ve had to throw away at least 10 of them, I haven’t made it threw the whole bottle but I’ll let you know!

Waited 2 full months and the strips do not change
I have been following a Keto diet and dropping a significant amount of weight. My strips NEVER change color. I am sure that I am in Ketosis as my diet has been monitored by a nutritionist. I am not sure if my pack is defective.... the date indicated on the pack in 2020 for expiration. I wish I didn't let the time pass or I would request my money back.

It works :)
I think it works! I tested them a couple weeks back when I was doing really good with keto, and tested pink & purple. Last week I was not very good on keto, had beer, fries, rice... not my best week. I tested it last night and the result was a negative for ketones. Now I feel good about this product, that it can help me know if I'm in ketosis or not.

Product goes bad quickly
When i first opened the product they worked fine. I stored in the container and test every few days. I didn’t really notice when they went bad but after having a few high carb meals i noticed that the strips were always purple. So today i urinated on one and stuck another under the facet and they are both the same color, purple.

Works exactly as advertised
Works exactly as advertised.Disclaimer: it was very difficult for me to get to ketosis. You may think that the product is not working, but it is likely that you really aren't in ketosis. Eat lots of nuts, seeds and avocados to help get there. You REALLY have to cut out carbs. Certainly no breads, pastas, or grains. Exercise helps too.

Helps me to know if im in ketosis
These work great to let me know if I'm in ketosis. I use them first thing in the morning because your ketone levels really vary throughout the day. You could be in ketosis and these strips won't pick up if your body is using the ketones, so far these show me in ketosis every morning! Love them!
