Hey there Meeker -

You have to ask the pharmacist for the ketostix - they're very often kept behind the counter. No, you don't need a prescription or anything, they just keep them there for some reason.

I like to use them occasionally just for additional support and confirmation that I'm in ketosis - just for a little tiny lift. Mine always always meaures the next to the darkest purple and I'm not dehydrated. So everybody is different.



It took me 2 days...I'm not sure about the average, can just tell you my experiences. But if you're intaking that sugar filled coffee drink, I'd expect a bigger delay.
