Product Description

Size: 90 CT

Phion Diagnostic pH Test Strips are the best strips available for discovering the pH of your body. Testing your pH is important because if your are overly acidic, you may feel low energy... find it difficult to lose weight... experience poor digestion... suffer from aches and pains... and even fall victim to more serious disorders. Too much acid can wreak havoc on your health! If you care enough about your body to test your pH, do it the right way. Litmus paper wont give you a truly accurate pH reading because it bleeds when it gets wet, which makes it quite a challenge to determine the color. pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips differ in that the reagent is affixed to a plastic strip, so there is no paper, no bleeding, and no mess. Plus, pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips measure a wider range (4.5 - 9.0) and they are the only test strips on the market that can pass through a urine stream without having the reagent bleed, making them exceptionally easy to read. Simply put, pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips measure a wider pH range more accurately! They have a dual pad indicator that has two squares using two different pH reagents. The top reagent is more sensitive to 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

1.0 out of 5 stars new strips indicate too low November 29, 2009

By MD Cam

Size Name:90 CT

I have purchased their previous product, the two-colour pHion strips, for years and have sent many people to their website to purchase them, even if one of the colors had to be ignored to get the proper reading. (This may be why they changed to this single-color version.) However, I still have some of the two-color strips and test strips from another manufacturer that are consistent between their readings. These "NEW pHion Test Stix" have proved to be useless. They consistently indicate a very low pH, at least 2 points lower than both of the other strips, and their sensitivity is extremely poor. (I had purchased 10 bottles through their website and will be sending 9 back.) A low reading serves to promote their other products; this is unethical if it produces erroneously low results.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does not work with water November 14, 2009

By G. Linden

Size Name:90 CT|Amazon Verified Purchase

These strips do not work with water or any other non-ionized solution. See the PhIon FAQ on their site which says, "These strips do NOT test against water or chemicals. They need to be tested against high ionized solutions. Water is not a high ionized solution and other chemicals may dilute the strip to be unreadable."

They do work with urine or saliva, but you cannot test them using water or other solutions.

The product information on this should be updated to clarify this issue. There are several negative reviews where people think the strips do not work because there is no warning in the product information that the strips cannot be tested with water or similar solutions.

5.0 out of 5 stars accuracy of pH test strips December 17, 2008

By RLS

Size Name:90 CT|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was instructed to test my pH levels by my doctor, so I purchased the litmus paper strips first, but was not satisfied with the results. The results were difficult to read. However, I ordered these test strips and discovered they were easier to interpret. These strips show a wide range with smaller pH increments. I definitely recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars strips work well ( pa ) June 17, 2008

By daisy fan

Size Name:90 CT|Amazon Verified Purchase

i purchased this item after receiving an alarming result of my dog's urine analysis..professional lab result, & $50.00, showed a ph of 8.5..

i immediately ordered these strips, first thing the morning after receiving the strips, tested urine was 6.5.....

every morning result was the same 6.5...

two subsequent diagnostic lab tests in the weeks that followed, with no treatment to cure an elevated ph, showed a ph of 6.5 exactly what these strips had told me.....

if you need to check your ph, these strips really work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Accurate February 10, 2009

By Jest Pam

Size Name:90 CT

I have been on a very strict diet and needed to know - accurately - what my pH was - these have been wonderful! I test to see what my mouth pH is and "out-go" urine is to see how I am processing my food - it has been VERY helpful to show what is working and what is not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good for people with Interstitial Cystitis March 12, 2009

By Christopher A. Windmeyer

Size Name:90 CT|Amazon Verified Purchase

I am a sufferer of Interstitial Cystitis and upon recommendation from a naturalistic doctor of medicine I bought these test strips to keep track of my urine's acidity. These test strips are fairly easy to use but I find reading them can be a little confusing at first because so many of the colors on the color chart are similar. After practicing a bit this became easier and now I feel I can confidently read and keep my acid levels in check.
Although it says in the booklet that comes with them that the acid levels should be around 6.5 for urine, I find that with my IC a level closer to 7 or just slightly above keeps my flares at bay.
I find that the price here on Amazon is at least 5 dollars cheaper than on pHion's own website. A very good product for a decent price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product, easy to read levels October 3, 2009

By Kam G.

Size Name:90 CT|Amazon Verified Purchase

Works great. Just be careful when you open the package, cause when I did the lid came off and all the strips fell out on the floor. The inner case isn't sealed and doesn't have a catch to secure the lid. BTW, the picture is wrong -- it's not a bottle, it's a little box with a clear plastic container inside.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother March 2, 2011

By Catherine A. Huigens

Size Name:90 CT|Amazon Verified Purchase

These strips are simple enough to use alright, but reading them is next to impossible. The color shade variations are so similar you can barely tell one from the other. How you match the strip to which shade is what makes it impossible. Most people can't tell a difference from one shade to the next. So unless you are the highest end or the lowest end, you won't be able to determine how acidic your body is because all the shades inbetween are too close to tell.
