Ribbon Checkup .org and .com: Which Site Is Which

People arrive at this site looking for different things under the name Ribbon Checkup. Some are looking for a product. Some want to understand a test result. This page sorts them out so nobody has to guess.

Two sites, one name

ribboncheckup.org, the site you are on, is a health education publication from Ribbon Health Press. It explains tests, lab numbers, and preventive screenings in plain language. It does not sell anything, has no accounts, and stores no personal data. Every page is free to read.

ribboncheckup.com is the site for the Ribbon Checkup home urine test product. Anything to do with that product, including orders, accounts, and support, is handled there and not here.

If you want to understand a result

That is what this site is for. Start with these:

• What a 10 parameter dipstick measures, for the pads on a standard urine test strip
• Kidney health urine tests, for protein, microalbumin, and uACR
• How to read urine test strip results, for technique
• How to use home health tests without fooling yourself, for what a positive or negative actually means

None of this is medical advice. A home test result is a reason to talk to a clinician, not a substitute for one. See the medical disclaimer.

If you want to reach the editors

Corrections, questions about an article, and topic requests: editors@ribboncheckup.org. That address reaches the editorial team only. It cannot help with product orders, accounts, or subscriptions.

How this site treats products

Ribbon Checkup articles describe categories of tests: how a dipstick works, what a phone camera reader does, what a uACR strip measures. They do not review, rank, or recommend specific products, including any sold under the Ribbon Checkup name. If you ever find a page here that reads like an advertisement, tell the editors. That is a mistake and it will be fixed. The full standard is in the editorial policy.
