At Olas Health we believe that your Health is your most valuable asset, and that is why we created Olas Ketone Test Strips.Our Urinalysis Reagent Strips are made for urinalysis of both qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis which are in vitro diagnostics reagents. Ketone Test Strips specifically tests for Ketones in urine. Please refer to the outside box and bottle label for the specific test parameters for Ketone Test Strips. Please read this direction carefully before using. The results on the strips can be read visually.Normally no ketones are present in urine. Detectable levels of ketone will occur in your urine during such physiological stress conditions such as fasting, pregnancy and frequent strenuous exercise. In starvation diets or in other abnormal carbohydrate metabolism situation, ketone appears in the urine in excessively large amounts before serum ketones are increased.Ketones are produced when your body burns fat for energy or fuel. They are also produced when you lose weight or if there is not enough insulin to help your body use sugar for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose builds up in the blood. Since the body is unable to use glucose for energy, it breaks down fat instead.Why should you do a Urine Test for Ketones (Acetoacetic Acid)? Ketone Test Strips Reagent Strips provide a fast, convenient way of testing your urine for the presence and concentration of acetoacetic acid (ketone). This substance when found in the urine provides information on carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Furthermore, acetoacetic acid can be found in the urine from diabetics and is more commonly referred to as a "ketone body." Use of Ketone Test Strips Reagent Strips can alert you and your doctor or diabetes educator to changes in your condition for which adjustments in your diet and/or medication may be needed. Carefully follow the testing schedule your doctor or educator establishes.
