pH Test Strip

Guyton’s Textbook of Physiology, a standard “Bible” of medical school described blood and serum pH at 7.3 as a healthy and imperative pH of human body for normal cell reproduction, strong immunity, and healthy metabolism. Many physicians and researchers have written countless books and published health articles on the importance and proper balance of pH to sustain and achieve healthy metabolism. We are often able to monitor the proper pH of our blood and serum by taking a simple Saliva or Urine test measuring the pH with a pH paper strip.

However, the quickest, simplest and most convenience way to test your pH level is by using your saliva and this pH Test Strip. It is best to use this pH Test strip to test your pH level first thing in the morning or upon rising, before brushing your teeth, eating or drinking. It can also be checked anytime during the day, as long as nothing was eaten or drank for at least half an hour or more for more accurate testing.

Normal ranges of 6.8 to 7.4 are desirable for humans in good health. If you are in between the 5.8 to 6.6 area, your internal system is very acidic and needs to be corrected before health problems develops. However, if your pH level is higher than 7.4, you are too alkaline and is best to neutralize it down to the desirable levels of 6.8 to 7.4.

Direction: Peel a short strip of the pH test strip from the roll, hold it with your fingers and place it on top of your tongue, wet at least half of the peeled off strip with your saliva for 1 second. The pH Test strip will then change color. Match the color with the indicator chart on the case for your saliva pH level.
