100 x Ketone
When fat is broken down for energy, the body makes substances called ketones (or ketone bodies). These are passed in the urine. Large amounts of ketones in the urine may mean a very serious condition, diabetic ketoacidosis, is present. A diet low in sugars and starches (carbohydrates), starvation, or severe vomiting may also cause ketones to be in the urine.

Causes of ketone in the urine
A ketogenic diet automatically reduces the amount of carbohydrates in the body. This effect is aimed at in a ketogenic diet and causes the organism to respond to this carbohydrate deficiency. In order to ensure the supply of energy to the brain and muscles, the liver begins to form ketone bodies which are similar to sugars and can be converted into energy.
Excess ketone bodies are excreted in the urine, among other things.
What are the advantages of the One Step Ketone test strips?
The urine test strips are solid plastic strips with separate reagent test fields. Within a short time, a clear result can be determined.
The urine test measures the ketone level in the urine and can act as an indicator of ketoacidosis.
If possible, please carry out the test with the morning urine as you will receive a much clearer result, because food and drinks can falsify the result.
To determine a deviation from the standard values again check the result in the following days. For a constant deviation over several days, we recommend consulting a doctor.
