Too low pH means acidosis which has to be solved by diet change.

MULTI 4 PARAMETERS URINE STRIPS   Certificates: CE self test certificate  issued by Notify Body, CE conformity certificate for professional use, FDA export certificate   A 4 pads strip  to screen  kidney dysfunction in less than 2 minutes.   The following parameters are tested: Proteins, blood, glucose and nitrites.   Detection of proteins is an early sign of kidney dysfunction.   In late diabetics the test is useful to check for kidney damage.    One pouch contains 3 strips and the color chart.

 

FREE  RADICALS AND OXIDATIVE STRESS   Certificates: the test is not an IVD so it does not need a CE self test certification   The free radicals test is a presence/absence visual test to check the level in urines of the lipids peroxides in less than 10 minutes.   The lipid peroxides are one of major indicators of the presence of free radicals in the blood so a positive result is useful to identify the risk of an oxidative stress.

The doctor or the pharmacist can then suggest an anti-oxidants diet or the suitable dietary supplements to return to negative values. The problem of the free radicals is also well known by athletes who risk an over production of free radicals during deep training.

This test is a useful tool to understand if the body needs some dietary support and helps preventing a list of diseases which seems to be supported by an oxidative stress.   The test is very simple: the user can simply urinate on the side with the pad and wait to see if the color changes after 5 to 10 min.

 

FOOT HEALTH    Diabetic Neuropathy Tester For early detection of Peripheral Diabetic Neuropathy Certificates: the test is not an IVD so it does not need a CE self test certification Quality certification available The Diabetic neuropathy tester is an easy to use rapid color test to determine the ability of the skin to “breathe” normally.  The loss of micro-capillary circulation associated with Diabetic Neuropathy may cause the upper level of the skin to thicken and become impermeable, preventing normal transmission of moisture through the stratum corneum.

The tester is an accurate and sensitive moisture detector providing early sign of developing neuropathy.
