What are Ketones ?
When body fat is used up, it ultimately breaks down into compound called "Ketone bodies." Low carbohydrates (Ketogenic) weight loss diets put the body in a fat burning state. Therefore, the presence of ketone bodies can be the result of fat metabolization. Now you can measure your fat burn quickly and easily with these test strips, regardless of what diet plan you are on.

Why Monitor Ketones ?
The more ketones you release, the more fat you've dissolved. Some diet plans try to keep the dieter in the moderate range so the dieter can chart his/her progress. If the amount of ketones present becomes too large, they can add more carbohydrates; if the amount becomes too small, they can cut back on carbohydrates. Many dieters often check their ketone levels twice per day.

Ketur-Test Strips for Urinalysis provide detection of ketones in urine. The strips provide a fast, convenient way of testing urine for the presence and concentration of acetoacetic acid (ketone). This substance when found in the urine provides information on carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Acetoacetic acid can be found in the urine from diabetics and is more commonly referred to as a "ketone body".
