Pee is the ultimate gossip. It tells you what your kidneys decided to kick out. Test your second pee of the day, not the first (that one is extra concentrated and lies like a politician).
Pee on the strip mid-stream. Watch the color pop. A healthy urinary pH can swing from 4.5 to 8.0 depending on what you ate. That’s a wild range—your body is a flexible party guest.
Quirky fact: eat a lot of asparagus and your pee might smell like a swamp, but it won’t change the pH drastically. Blueberries? They turn the strip a pretty color, but they don’t mess with the science.
