c) After applying saliva or urine, the tests usually show the final result after 15" seconds.
d) To get the result you just have to compare the color of the two patches with the color table on the pack.

3. Evaluating Urine pH test results:

Testing the pH of your urine will show how well your body is able to remove acids and maintain optimal amounts of minerals that protect the body from becoming too acidic. The "buffer minerals" include sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. If you are acidic, then your body is not doing a good job at using the minerals to protect against the acid, because there is too much acid in your body. 
For a healthy range, your urine pH should be between 6.0 and 6.5 when you test in the morning, and between 6.5 and 7.0 when you test in the evening.

4. Evaluating Saliva pH test results:
Testing the pH of your saliva will help show digestive enzyme activity in the body. 
For a healthy range, your saliva pH should remain between 6.5 and 7.5 all day.
