What kind of PH testing strips do you need for your body?

Question

I want testing strips to test the PH of my body..... I have found different kinds with different prices............. Are they all the same whether you are testing your body - your pool - your fish tank, etc.? What are the best ones for testing your body?

Answer 1

No, the PH of your body is completely different than other PH's. You have to use a different strip. Check out this site. It'll tell you about the different strips.

Answer 2

If you're testing your urine, any pH strip designed for medical use which tests for pH between 4 and 8 will work just fine. That is the range for what is considered normal for human urine. In general, the human body tends toward neutrality (pH 7 give or take) so a test strip which tests in a range around pH 7 will do.

Answer 3

Litmus paper is Litmus paper... it'll test the pH of whatever fluid it comes into contact with.

Personally, I wouldn't use the same kinds that are intended for pools or fish tanks because they may use processes to make them or store them that aren't as good as the ones intended for human use... better to be safe than sorry  ;-)

Aside from that, any pH testing strips will be identical except for the brand and maybe the shape (some may have plastic holders or something that don't add anything to the strips). The cheapest will likely work just as much as the most expensive (and you could buy both to prove it), so it's usually not worth paying extra for the same thing as long as they are both intended for human use. Good luck!
