How to Increase Urine pH?

  1. Increase alkaline foods: Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds with low-carb vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, and zucchini.
  2. Drink more water: Drink 8-10 cups of water per day.
  3. Limit acid-forming foods: Animal proteins contribute to a more acidic urine pH. Consider reducing your intake of red meats.

Manage Your Keto Diet Safely

Optimal Ketone Levels

Darker colors on the ketone color pad indicate higher levels of ketones in the urine sample but not higher levels of ketosis. The same amount of fat is burned when in ketosis, regardless of ketone levels. A moderate 4 mmol/l ketones level should be targeted for the safest keto diet results.

Optimal pH Levels

Urine pH levels can vary in the range of 5 to 8, however, a slightly acidic pH of 6.0 - 6.5 is considered normal for most people. Alkaline dieters should target pH values above 7. Keto dieters may see ph values as low as 5.0 - 5.5, the diet should be tweaked to increase it to higher levels.

Immerse Strip Into Urine

You can simply urinate on the test strip or urinate into a urine sample cup and then immerse the strip into the collected urine. Please make sure that the test strip does not contact urine for more than 2 seconds.

Hold Horizontal for 40 Seconds

Once the test strip has contacted urine you must hold it horizontal so that the color pads do not bleed on to each other and skew results. Wait for 40 seconds for the reactions on the color pads to take place.

Read the Results

Hold the urine test strip against the color chart on the product bottle to read the results. Make sure to record your results and see a healthcare professional if necessary.
