Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesG01N 031/04G01N 033/16 G01N 021/06 AbstractA nitrogen test kit for determining the relative level of nitrogen of a user who is involved in a health program where diet and exercise are monitored and adjusted for optimizing physical development, the kit including a plastic stick having a reagent zone on which is included a reactant such as urease, and a pH indicator such as bromthymol blue, used in conjunction with color chart blocks representing a range of urea nitrogen concentrations, wherein the user's urine nitrogen content can be determined by comparing the altered color of the reagent zone of an exposed test strip to the color chart and compared with a personal baseline level, developed from a number of tests under controlled conditions, for determining the present protein nitrogen turnover and approximate balance.Other References
