KetoCoach Blood Ketone Strips (50 Pack) - for Use with Blood Ketone Meter

Why Measure Blood Ketones? If you're looking for an accurate way to know if your body is in a state of ketosis, blood is by far the most reliable and precise way to measure. The reason lies in how your body is using the ketones. Measuring your blood ketones (beta-hydroxybutyrate) can provide a quantifiable way to assess your level of adherence, and your bodies response to the ketogenic diet. To follow the ketogenic diet properly, it’s critical that you know if you are in ketosis or not. Knowing the difference will determine if you are applying the ketogenic diet correctly (if you are in ketosis) or simply eating a low carbohydrate diet. Being in a state of ketosis is where most of the benefits of the ketogenic diet occur.

The most affordable ketone test strips: The KetoCoach Blood Ketone Strips are for use with the KetoCoach Blood Ketone Meter. The strips come in pack of 50 and are individually foil wrapped to ensure maximum measurement stability. KetoCoach strips require a small blood sample: 0.8 μl (micro liters) is smaller than a matchstick head and because it needs less blood, it's easier to get a complete sample every time.
