Maxwell Sensor’s KetoneMax monitoring device
provides a fast and accurate way to manage
your low carbohydrate diet for safe weight
loss.
Dieters should monitor
the level of ketones in the body
to lose weight
at an optimal rate
The body uses two fuels for energy: fat and
glucose (blood sugar). Carbohydrates in the
diet break down in the body as glucose. When
you cut down on carbohydrates, you
effectively leave only one source for
energy, fat, which must be "burned" away
through the metabolic process called
lipolysis or ketosis. This process releases
ketones as a waste product in urine. For
those with extra body fat, stimulating a
safe level of ketosis is a natural weapon
for combating overweight. However, since
ketosis can also damage organs such as the
kidneys, dieters should take steps to manage
the level of ketosis they experience.
The standard method for monitoring ketones
is the ketone urine test strip, a
qualitative device that measures ketones by
color change. The KetoneMax dramatically
improves on the ketone test strip by
transforming the qualitative color
measurement scale into a fully accurate
quantitative measurement of ketosis.
The KetoneMax monitor is in development and
is currently patent-pending.
Requires minimal
sample
Unlike the commercially available ketone
test strip that must be submerged in several
inches of urine, KetoneMax works with one
drop of urine placed on a specially treated
test strip available for use with the
monitor.
Results are not subject to changes over time
Standard ketone test strips continue to
change color over time, leading to
inaccurate test results. KetoneMax reads and
records the test strip results at the
precise completion of the chemical reaction.
Results are recorded
The KetoneMax records results in its memory
to provide a longitudinal view of progress.
Using this monitoring history, you can
adjust or customize the ratio of carb/protein/fat
intake and control your weight loss at the
best rate for you. KetoneMax, integrated
with ketosis urine strips, provides a
quantitative indicator for proper weight
loss while protecting essential lean muscle
tissue without the guesswork.
