TL;DR: As TMK, we’re not able to specify what Reset is or recommend anyone take it, but we are able to share the results of our study. In short, our study participants reported:

• Decreased 7-OH intake, both while on Reset and afterwards

• Improved 7-OH tolerance, as measured by stronger effects from the same dosage

• Significantly decreased 7-OH cravings

• Less “7-OH Noise”, or time spent thinking about one’s next 7-OH dose

• For all of these factors, Reset participants drastically outperformed our placebo group, suggesting that the difference may be due to Reset

Try Reset

Note: this is a long post. It is the most comprehensive look into what Reset is, how it came to be, and what people who have actually taken it have reported experiencing on it. If you’ve ever had a question about Reset, this post is your answer. Enjoy the read, and let me know what you think!

What is Reset?

Since Reset came out, people have been asking what exactly it is, and we have been uncharacteristically cagey about revealing its contents. This has been frustrating - just as much for us as for the community - and we get that. TMK was built on the premise that you can’t trust a label without testing the product, and so a TMK product where we refuse to name the ingredient feels wrong. It feels wrong to us too. Here’s where we are coming from and why we are taking this approach.

Why We Can’t Elaborate

Right now, or goal is to 1) understand what Reset actually does and 2) study whether Reset genuinely helps people. Specifying its molecular structure puts that mission at risk. Reset takes some very precise chemistry to make, and if we say what it is then other labs can and will try to make it - or something close to it. Some would do it carefully. Some wouldn’t. And once there are five versions of Reset floating around, it becomes impossible to track its safety profile. If someone has a bad reaction, is it because of Reset, or is it because a sketchy lab cut corners while making counterfeit Reset? We wouldn’t know, and neither would you.

Safety and transparency have been our number one priority since day one, so we understand exactly how it looks to hold back the one thing you most want to know. Rest assured we are working on making Reset’s formula public knowledge as quickly as possible: we’re securing a patent for the technology to ensure this doesn’t lead to unsafe spinoffs popping up the moment we publish its structure. Once we can ensure that sharing details around Reset won’t flood the market with counterfeit versions, we will happily share everything we know.

What We’re Allowed to Share Today

What we can do is share real data and reports around how others have used Reset. We’d love to talk to you openly about what we’re seeing and what our own experience with Reset has been. We just don’t want to misstep and ruin this for everyone.

How it Started

We started working on Reset in early 2025 with the hope of helping people spend less money on 7-OH or opioids. By March 2026 we thought we had something. So we ran our first official study with seven trusted supporters who we knew wouldn’t hold back. All seven reported significant impact on the same 3 things: tolerance, withdrawal, and cravings.

While it was amazing to get that feedback, seven people proves nothing. Handing your product to seven fans and posting their reviews is exactly how the rest of this industry sells hype. What those seven did was convince us to spend real money on a much bigger study.

And while we’re here, let’s put one rumor to bed. Reset is not SR-17. It’s a different molecule, and we made it ourselves. If Reset were simply SR-17, we’d have started selling it in January, or last year. SR-17 is a well-known and well-studied compound; we didn’t want to sell SR-17, we wanted to develop something different. So we spent an entire year on Reset - researching it, testing it, studying it, and then releasing it painstakingly slowly and carefully.

Trial Overview

Let’s be clear about what this was, because the wording matters. We never told anyone to take Reset. We can’t, and we didn’t. Nobody was recruited, assigned, or asked to consume anything. We simply asked anyone who did to record their results. 189 people did exactly that; the following are their results.

A placebo tablet looks exactly the same but has nothing in it. Everyone who got a placebo was seeing Reset for the first time, so nobody could tell by the taste. Why placebo? Because sometimes people feel better just from taking something, and the placebo group shows us how much the impact is from Reset vs. from the psychological effect of taking something.

Participants tracked themselves for 14 days: 3 days to begin with no Reset (the “baseline”), then 7 days on Reset (the “study week”), then 4 more days after Reset was gone. All participants in this post filled out 10+ forms and finish the final survey. Together, participants filled out more than 2,800 forms.

Who Participated in Our Study?

The average study participant was 38 years old, and 76% of participants experienced chronic pain. Prior to taking Reset, participants were taking 200mg of 7-OH per day on average. Some were taking under 50mg and many others were taking 1000+mg, and the average dose intensity felt was a 5/10, suggesting 7-OH was primarily used moderately.

On the higher end, 17% were taking 400-800mg a day, and 9% were over 800mg. Many of these power users described having to take more and more 7-OH and getting less and less of an effect over time. These are the people we really wanted feedback from. 78% wanted to decrease their 7-OH intake, while 20% wanted to quit for good.

We also asked what they had experienced in the past when trying to cut back, and were unsurprised to see many of the same withdrawal symptoms. This is why most people don’t try to get off - it’s just too hard.

Moment of Truth: Trial Results

Now for the really interesting information: the trial results.

Q: Did you use less 7-OH during and after the study?

71% of participants on Reset said yes. On the placebo, 37% decreased their intake.

25% of participants on Reset said nothing changed for them, compared with 53% on the placebo tablet.

This is what we were hoping to see. The vast majority of people are taking 7-OH to manage pain, and that onset of pain leads to more frequent and heavy dosing. Taking less 7-OH suggests to us that participants are getting more mileage out of their usual doses.

Q: Did you get a stronger effect from your normal 7-OH intake?

60% of participants on real Reset said yes. On the placebo, only 32% indicated tolerance improvement.

This is the tolerance question, and it’s the same story as the one above: tolerance is what makes 7-OH expensive and exhausting because you need more 7-OH, more often, to get less. When people say their normal dose started doing more again, that’s tolerance improvement.

Q: Did your cravings improve?

About 70% of the Reset group said yes. On the placebo, only 32% reported cravings improvement.

We were delighted to see that our Reset group outperformed the placebo group by more than double; this degree of difference is not typical. We also asked about the time between doses - the “mental countdown” many 7-OH users have described.

Prior to trying Reset, 64% of participants reported “constantly thinking” about 7-OH between doses. While on Reset, that number dropped significantly to 17%.

Q: Did you experience any side effects?

About 28% of the Reset group said yes, as compared to 21% of the placebo group.

At first glance this might seem like a negative finding, but the fact that these numbers are so similar is actually very encouraging. We asked our participants to write down everything they experienced - every headache, every rough night, every upset stomach. Sometimes those symptoms are due to 7-OH, and sometimes a person just has a bad day. Our job is to figure out which of those symptoms are a result of Reset.

The fact that our Reset group and placebo group reported very similar side effects is great news. If Reset was hard on people, the Reset group would have reported vastly more side effects.

The most common side effects reported were sweating, sleepiness, and nausea. Both the Reset group and placebo group reported the same set of side effects; this is good, because if the Reset group had reported symptoms that the placebo group did not report, then that would suggest that Reset was causing those new side effects.

In addition, the vast majority of participants who took Reset reported that the benefits of Reset far outweighed the discomfort of the side effects.

Why a Placebo Group?

More than 30% of the placebo group said they got better. Read that again, because it explains exactly why having a placebo group was important.

Having the placebo group completely changes how we interpret the efficacy of Reset. For example, hearing that 29% of Reset participants experienced side effects seems alarming - until you realize that a similar percentage of placebo participants taking sugar pills also experienced side effects.

When we first started this trial we received a lot of angry emails from people calling us manipulative for sending people placebo tablets, even though we were up front about having a placebo group. We understand how frustrating it feels to have been a part of that group, which is why we made sure to send everyone in the placebo group real Reset once the study concluded. And for the record, we threw out our placebo tablets the moment the trial ended - everyone who has ever purchased Reset from us received the real thing.

Key Metric: How Much Did 7-OH Intake Decrease?

Participants reported their actual milligrams intake every day, which allowed us to measure changes during the trial. While on Reset, they took about 15% less. Note that this includes the initial “load period” when Reset can be less effective. In the four days after taking Reset, participants reported 32% less 7-OH - more than double the drop. In other words, Reset continued to increase in effectiveness for several days after it was taken.

After finishing the trial, more than half of Reset users were taking 25% less 7-OH, and 27% of Reset users had cut their 7-OH intake by at least half. And again, improvements in tolerance and cravings continued to improve even after the last dose of Reset was taken.

Who is Reset For?

We developed Reset with two people in mind.

First, we built Reset for all the people who want to be done with kratom or opioids entirely. We wanted to empower everyone who has ever felt like taking these substances was no longer a choice, and who wished to be free of it. Based on the reports from this study, we feel good about Reset’s ability to be an effective tool for that person.

Second, we designed Reset for anyone who wants to continue taking 7-OH, but who wants to have a more sustainable relationship with it. Financially, 7-OH can be ruinous at it’s worst. I’ve heard stories of people barely making ends meet and having to decide between paying their dog’s vet bills and waking up the next morning with agonizing back pain. No one should have to make that choice. And there are many people taking 1,000+mg of 7-OH every day who we believe can get the same relief and management from 100mg if they used Reset. In this way, we hope Reset can help ease the financial weight of managing pain - not just move the pain from your body to your bank account.

The Most Surprising Feedback

In a few words: you get out what put in.

The participants who reported the most benefits were the ones who came in with a real goal, whether that was improving their tolerance or getting off for good. They also did the boring things: they slept more, they ate better, they hydrated, and they used Reset as a tool to build a healthy lifestyle rather than a miracle compound or a silver bullet. It genuinely surprised us how much that mindset seemed to matter.

What’s next for Reset?

That feedback resonated strongly with our whole team, and we’re using it as our North Star to guide our next steps. For this next part, we’re looking for members of the community who are willing to help.

Study 1: Quitting Kratom / Opioids

The first study we’re looking to run is for people who want to quit completely. Not cut down - get off. We’re looking for people who are serious about quitting and who will fill out a survey every single day for three weeks, documenting the whole thing honestly. In exchange, we’ll do our very best to assist you every step of the way.

Study 2: Reset v2

The second study is for the next version of Reset, which we have continued developing and are hoping will be an even more effective version of our current product. We need participants to be motivated, organized and willing to fill out a daily form and work with our team to understand results.

Before you email us, please understand what you’d be signing up for. These studies are expensive and exhausting to run. We ship a lot of free product, we follow up with people every single day, and we pay lawyers to make sure we don’t get ourselves in trouble just by talking about it. In this past study, more than 500 people signed up, and over 300 of them stopped answering or never finished their forms. Each of those 300+ participants made a commitment and then failed to follow through on it, often without so much as a courtesy message. Those dropouts represent significant holes in our data that might have otherwise helped a lot more people. So please only reach out if you are willing to fill out a daily form and commit to helping the community every day for at least two weeks.

One Last Thing

I’m not doing this to make a quick buck. I’m doing this because we were let down. The institutions that were supposed to keep us safe chose profit and mass addiction over providing the community with a product that might allow people to live normal, pain-free lives at reasonable costs.

I’ve never been a particularly work-oriented person, and yet I’ve spent the better part of the last two years fighting to build the world I believe this community deserves.

I wish I didn’t have to make Reset, because something like Reset should have been made by a company 100x my size years ago.

I wish I didn’t have to start TestMyKratom.org, and that brands would respect their customers by being honest and transparent.

I wish we didn’t have to work this hard, and that my team could spend weekends with our families and friends instead of answer support emails and second-guessing every sentence we publish in case it gets us in trouble.

I wish this were somebody else’s job. But until that happens, it might as well be us :)

With that said: thank you for supporting me since Day 1. It means the world and I’ll continue working to support the community in every way I can.
