RESET, a food brand from Yamagata Prefecture operating under the theme of "the joy of emptying, the joy of filling" (operated by ALFOR Inc., Headquarters: Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture, Representative Director: Yohei Ikeda), will launch a "Gut Health Test Kit" that allows individuals to check the state of their gut environment at home, starting April 3, 2026.
This kit is a healthcare service that visualizes the state of the gut environment by measuring "indoxyl sulfate (a putrefactive substance produced by gut bacteria)" in urine, supporting the first step towards improving dietary habits.
In addition to checking the gut condition by comparing it with the national average, it provides rank evaluations and advice for improving lifestyle habits, enabling objective understanding of one's own gut environment.
Furthermore, after checking the test results, users can access a gut health recipe diagnosis and a 14-day gut health program via LINE, supporting daily dietary habit improvement.
Start Improving Dietary Habits by Understanding Your Gut Environment
In recent years, the term "gut health" has become widely known, and dietary habits conscious of the gut environment, such as consciously consuming fermented foods and dietary fiber, have become widespread.
However,
"What is the state of my gut environment?"
"Are my current eating habits suitable for my gut environment?"
There are not many opportunities to objectively know these things.
RESET's Gut Health Test Kit provides an opportunity to understand one's own body by visualizing the state of the gut environment through measuring indoxyl sulfate in urine.
Moreover, by adopting a testing method that can be checked with urine instead of stool, it is designed to be easily accessible.

At RESET, we also emphasize "effortless design" in our fasting programs.
This kit is similarly positioned as a product that serves as an "entry point" for improving dietary habits.
Starting from understanding one's own condition, it connects to "options for improvement" such as reviewing meals and fasting.
■After the test, proceed to the "14-day Gut Health Program"
After checking the test results, users can access a gut health recipe diagnosis and a 14-day gut health program via LINE, which can be utilized as an opportunity to review daily dietary habits.
By simply answering questions, users can receive a gut health recipe diagnosis tailored to their dietary habits and preferences, and participate in a 14-day gut health program based on approximately 30 recipes supervised by registered dietitians and former French chefs.
The characteristic feature is that it doesn't just end with the test, but consistently supports from understanding the gut environment to improving dietary habits.
