which level is ketosis?

Ketosis is 0.5 and up. If you look at the color blocks on the vial this is used to read the results by comparing the test pad color to the blocks on the chart. Match the color of the test pad to the closest color block on the color chart. The color blocks represent approximate concentration values of ketones in your urine. The color blocks move from left (light color) to right (dark purple) with increasing concentrations of ketones. The lightest color is no Ketones. The next color is 0.5 mmol of ketones in your Urine.

are these strips protein good for finding protein spilling into urine?

Hello Amazon Thank you for reaching out about this so we can explain the difference between testing with our Keto-Mojo urine strips and our Keto-Mojo blood testing meter. We recognize that some people are not prepared to invest in a meter when they first start out on keto, and for those people, we wanted to offer a product from us, a trusted Keto source, that could guide them through an understanding of the keto lifestyle and offer the tools and resources they need to succeed on the very first steps of their journey and beyond. Let's start with why to even test your ketones: Why Test Your Ketones? A ketogenic diet is specific; the entire point is to eat foods that get you into ketosis and keep you there. But it’s not just eating keto-friendly foods that influences your ketone levels. The amount of food you eat and your specific reactions to foods and activities can affect your ketone levels and blood-glucose levels, which in turn can affect your success with ketosis. This means you can be doing everything “right” and still struggle to reach the levels of ketosis you desire. The only way to find out is to test your ketone levels. Monitoring your ketones gives you insight into how your body is responding. It also gives you clues and opportunity to adjust your diet a little more. Perhaps you want to tweak you carbs or you want to identify trigger foods. Testing allows you to see how minor adjustments affect your results and allows you the capability to discover which foods have the most impact on your ketone levels, good and bad. Or perhaps you want to see how your ketone levels respond to various stimuli, such as exercising or eating a specific type of keto-friendly sugar. Again, the only way to find out is to test. But which test is the best for the most reliable results? Is it blood testing? breath testing, or urine testing? The unequivocal answer is blood-ketone testing; it’s the gold standard for testing your ketones. Here’s why: Three Types of Ketones On keto, your body will produce three types of ketone bodies. It’s important to understand their differences because each method of testing measures something different – urine tests measure acetoacetate, breath tests measure acetone and blood tests measure beta-hydroxybutyrate. Acetoacetate (AcAc): When glucose is no longer available as a primary source of fuel, fat is broken down by the liver into fatty acids, which are further broken down into ketone bodies. Acetoacetate is the first ketone body that is produced and is spilled into your urine, especially in the early stages of ketosis, but rarely in later stages. Acetate (Acetone): Acetoacetate, the simplest beta-keto acid, is converted into either Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) or acetone (aka acetate). Acetone is the least abundant ketone body and is exhaled through the lungs as a waste product rather than used as a source of fuel. It is sometimes called the “exhaust” ketone. Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB): BHB is the most prevalent and stable ketone body in the blood and is readily transported to cells to use as fuel. It can fuel most of the brain’s energy needs along with organs and muscles and represents approximately 70% of the available ketone energy. Now that you know about the three types of ketones, let’s review the various testing methods, which type of ketones they test, and which results are more and less accurate. Urine Strips: The Safety Check for Diabetics Urine strips are widely available in drug-stores and supermarkets. These work by dipping the strip in a urine sample for a few seconds and comparing the color of the strip with the colors on the package to determine the concentration of ketones in your urine (results range from no ketones to highly concentrated amounts). The darker the color, the more ketones are present in your urine.

Are the strips light sensitive ?

Thanks for asking, Yes, Test strips are sensitive to prolonged exposure to moisture, heat, and light. Store in a dry place at 36-86 °F (2-30 °C). Do not freeze. Keep out of direct sunlight. The strips should remain in the closed vial until use.

Okay, I'm not understanding this well. My results were 0.5 Is this bad or good?

0.5 is the low end of ketosis don’t get me wrong that’s really good it means you’re doing the right thing you can do some exercises to increase your ketone you want to be between 0.5 to 3.0
