is this a test to determine whether or not the body is acidic or alkaline?

Yes, these are strips that helps show your ph balance is acidic or alkaline. The healthy range needs to be in the 7.0-7.05. You can use saliva or urine on these. Urine is the most accurate but test the urine in the morning on the second time around because the first time you go to the bathroom the urine is too acidic to test the reason is because the urine sits in the body to long during the night. If you decide to test the urine just use a jar it makes the testing easier. There are several places to get alkaline supplements at Health Food Stores or on line. You can try this also but the taste is something to get use too but it works and is cheap is to take 1 teaspoon of baking soda per 1 teaspoon of black strap molasses this will help bring up the ph balance and if you need to double the recipe you can or take the drink couple times a day until you are where you want to be at. If you decide to go the baking soda route you need to put 1 cup of water on a stove until a little warm and then put the baking soda in and stir until the water is clear. Take the water off the stove stir in the molasses. Taste better when the drink is warm and comfortable to drink. You need to test your ph everyday because one day you maybe alkaline and the next day you could be acidic by eating something acid that can effect you ph and lower your ph in the 6s. Nothing can survive in an alkaline body that ranges in the 7.0 - 8.0 range. How to eat an alkaline diet you can get books or info on line if you have not done so already that tells you what foods are acidic or alkaline and how to figure what to eat with what to make sure you eat an alkaline meal. You can eat acidic food but you need to eat something alkaline with it to off set the acid to bring up the blood to alkaline level. It's not hard to do once you get the hang of it.

Jonathan - Baking soda - which is what these tablets are - will affect alkalinity but not pH directly though they are related which I will try to articulate. Once I have the pool at the right chlorine and alkalinity levels I use these tablets for maintenance along with chlorine tablets. pH is the measurement of acidity vs alkalinity. Work on chlorine and alkalinity levels and then check the pH. From my experience the balance of the two keeps the pH at a proper level. But every pool is different. Pool chemistry is so frustrating !!!!

Hi Carla, Not sure if this is what you want. I bought it for testing the ph in our club kitchen dishes rinse water. Turns out this is the right one. 2 places to check for the right kind: local health department (they set me straight) and county extension agency. good luck

Yes it can. It states that it can test both urine and saliva to give you the most complete picture of your pH

Hello! Yes, there is citric acid in the aloe vera juice as a pH stabilizer. We hope this helps!

It might work but I don't knowfor sure, It really works to see if you have a high acid urine which is not good for you. I like my sugar so I always have a ph imbalance.

it depends on how many drops you put in it. we are keeping it at the beginning of the purple bar b/c super purple we don't' need and also helps saving some drops for later. we did the test at the beginning when we first got the drops. (purple is alkaline). their recommendation was going to be super alkalined. i hope this helped

The alkalinity test is different than your pH test. The alkalinity test is done by the following steps 1) Fill the right side vile (the large vile) to the lower line. 2) Add one drop of the chlorine neutralizer, solution #4. 3) Add one drop (or two drops if color change is not drastic enough) of solution #5 (the blue solution). 4) Then add one drop of solution #3 at a time and between each drop swirl the vile. Repeat until the water becomes clear. 5) Take the number of drops it takes to change the water from blueish to clear and multiply it by 10. For example, if it takes 10 drops to change the color to clear, then your alkalinity is 100ppm.

Actually, don't know.. was recommended by a friend to keep the body more alkaline opposed to acidic.

The test strip you are using is not accurate/sterile enough to accurately test the PH of water...One thing that everyone should know about these (and other) pH test strips is that they work based on the TDS (total dissolved solids) that are present in the water you are testing. If you are trying to test a true distilled water (with nothing in it, no TDS) the strips won't be effective and I'd recommend you use a test drop for the water sample.

I think that that is something you need to test every skin is reacting different. Sorry that I can't give you a clear answer

DMAE is highly alkaline I understand it is around the PH of 10.. Skin is more on the acid side. We plan to add an acid to skin cream DMAE mixture to lower the PH.. research it and verify..

yes as far as I know the alkaline strips will let you know if the beverage is alkaline. BTW coffee is highly acidic

I don't have any idea about the testing. My skin did not like this product and I thought it had a very strong chemical smell.

How soon can I notice a change in my body ph on test strips after staring this product ? Any rough estimate ?

Very easy. See previous answers & comments about pH testing. The water tastes very good, though it may be unusual for some because of the alkalinity.

I am not sure I understand your question. I have tested numerous liquid samples for fluoride. It is my understanding this meter tests for the fluoride ion: not a chemical but an ion.
