They also look at PH balance, so you're going to need some salts to counteract the dilution. I recently took a test myself at Labcorp, and I believe everything came back clear (no news is good news), and I tried chicken broth as one of my dilution liquids to help my PH level stay normal, along with some Rolaids.
Close but not quite. You are right about the creatine. It does need to be taken 2-4 days before the test or eat a lot of red meat for 2-4 days before the test. Salt does nothing for pH. Dilution also really doesn't throw off the pH. Salt though can be helpful for specific gravity, which is tested to check for dilution. The Rolaids does nothing for the pH of your urine, it affects the pH of your stomach. Rolaids is suggested to take when diluting to also help with specific gravity. All of this is covered in the dilution thread as well as the preferred fluid which is not chicken broth.
FakeBoobsRule Reviewed by FakeBoobsRule on . Freaking, like so many... Okay, I applied (and got) a job today with a company who uses Labcorp to do drug tests. I was given the form to bring to the testing facility (which was luckily closed) and will be expected to go Monday (today being Friday, so 3 days from now)... I am not a frequent user (once every 4-6 weeks?) but have twice within the last 3 weeks - the second time 6-7 days ago. On this occasion it was with a vaporizer. My question is the one almost everyone on this board has - and I do understand no Rating: 5
