PHion Balance Diagnostic Ph Test Strips, 4.5 - 9.0 ph Range, 90-Count

These strips are easy to use & seem very accurate. I am amazed at how my PH level can change through out the day, depending on what I eat, my mood & my exercise level. Diet seems to affect my PH the most, green smoothies boost my alkaline levels the best & also I find after jogging my PH is better, unless I had blown it by eating sugary foods that day. These little strips can be used at any time, any where to keep track of your PH. I find the best way to keep my weight off is to monitor my PH & these are the best priced easiest to use. By the way use these for testing your urine rather than saliva, easier & more accurate. I recommend these to anyone seeking better health & weight management & will continue to use these.

Second review:The first wonderful review was for the FIRST bottle of these that I ordered from Amazon. Sad to say, the second bottle has been a complete disappointment. Many people prefer the stick strips because they don't RUN the way paper strips do, but these in the new bottle run like crazy and DON'T give a true reading!!! I have NEVER seen ANY brand of pH stick strips that run the way these do. I have called the company, and they were not helpful AT ALL. They consider it not their problem since I bought them from Amazon. I don't often have a problem with a severe acidic condition, but when I do, I want a product that will work. Thankfully, I had some of the paper strips on hand and am using them at this time. Who wants to buy a product again that has iffy quality control? I don't know whether these things are affected by extreme heat or what, but they certainly have not been exposed to anything in my home that would affect their performance at all. No high humidity, no high heat, nothing like that. They were opened a few days ago and were defective right out of the bottle. I have not called Amazon about this - it is like trying to jump through hoops to get a phone number.-----------------------------------------------------First review:I have used this type strip for years except it was a different brand that I am not able to find anymore. But hurrah! This is the exact same one with a different name. I am so glad that Amazon carries these. They are working perfectly for me!!! I don't understand all the problems other people have. I have never had a problem at all with the other brand, and I am not having a problem with this one. If your stick is showing bright green, you must be doing just fine! There are a number of foods/drinks that can change your pH dramatically, though, and a person could try these just to give the sticks a test. Eat some very sweet cookies with a Diet Coke a few times and see if that green doesn't change to pink! Or take 50 mcgs. of Selenium after eating a big serving of RAW broccoli a few times if you can't get out of the acid group! I was stuck in the acid group for days recently after going through a very stressful few weeks, but, finally, I broke out of that acid fog! Stress and not getting enough liquid will keep us there, though, unless me make some drastic dietary changes. It does take some severe dietary changes sometimes to get to that alkaline goal. But that doesn't mean you will always have to eat that way. I haven't, anyway. As soon as I finally make the break, I can start back to eating my beloved peanut butter, eggs, cocoa, etc.! But I continue to carefully keep track to make sure I am not regressing. So far so good with that!!From the company's website: "They have a dual pad indicator that has two squares using two different pH reagents. The top reagent is more sensitive to higher pH ranges (7.0 - 9.00) and the bottom reagent is more sensitive to lower pH ranges (4.5 - 6.75). This combination gives you an ideal reading of your pH level." AND WHEN THEY SAY TOP THEY MEAN THE SHORT END OF THE STICK!

I compared the test results from this product alongside a "10-item urine test strip" that I got from my veterinarian. The PH results were identical between both strips.I found this product to be easier to use since I didn't need to test for ten things -- I just needed to monitor my dog's urine PH.The squares are larger and easier to read than the pricier strips, and when I followed the directions, both color squares matched the chart very well.I did notice that if I waited longer than the directions indicated to read the strip, then both colors did not match exactly. So I encourage others to only wait the required length of time and no longer to get accurate readings.I really like that they seem very durable and work excellently for what I need them. I'd recommend them to my friends.

Phion pH test strips work very well to test pH in either saliva or urine. I've used this specific product for multiple years.Pros:- These test strips support testing saliva OR urine.- Expiration date was 11 months away at time of receipt. This is a good expiration duration for test strips. Be sure you keep the bottle TIGHTLY capped so moisture doesn't ruin the strips.- Quick read time: you will be able to test and read the results in about 30 seconds after you get used to doing it.- Good scale on pH levels: you can tell your exact pH down to 0.25 increments.- Can be used on humans, pets, etc.Cons:- Normal pH level targets for saliva (7.0 - 7.5) and urine (4.5 - 6.5) should be marked on the bottle so you don't have to remember what is "normal" pH. I use a sharpie and put arrows next to the normal values on the bottle so I don't forget.- Strip colors never match exactly to the reading scale. It takes a few times of using them to learn how to match the colors. After you learn, it's quick.I will continue to purchase this product - it's a solid good value product.

This is the first time I've used test strips for pH to measure my own pH. I like that this is not paper and the chemicals do not run off. It has two separate indicators, one that works better at low pH and one that works better at higher pH. If you don't know that, it can confuse you as to which reading to believe. Once you understand that, it is very easy to approximate your pH. I love making changes in my diet and then having physical proof that my changes are effective at changing my pH. Good product.
