Clinical Product Assessment

MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product contains four substances specifically tested on the MRT 176 panel: Sesame (via Tahini), Sunflower (via Sunflower Oil), Garlic, and Citric Acid. It also contains ‘spices,’ which are classified as unknown because they may contain other tested substances like Cumin or Chili Pepper. With four confirmed triggers and an unknown spice blend, this product is high risk for patients in the early phases of the LEAP protocol and should only be introduced in Phase 3 under practitioner supervision.

Understanding These Triggers

🌻
Sunflower

Sunflower seed and sunflower oil are MRT-tested. Sunflower lecithin is increasingly used as a soy lecithin alternative. Found in chips, cooking oils, and many "allergen-friendly" products.

🧄
Garlic

Garlic is an MRT-tested substance found in seasoning blends, sauces, and many processed foods. Often listed as "garlic powder," "dehydrated garlic," or hidden in "spices" or "natural flavors."

⚗️
Citric Acid

A chemical additive tested on the MRT panel. Industrially produced from Aspergillus niger mold, not citrus fruit. Found in beverages, canned goods, candy, and as a preservative in thousands of products.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 4 identified triggers, this product has a high concentration of MRT-tested substances. The probability that at least one of these triggers is reactive on your personal panel is statistically significant.

This product is not recommended during Phase 1 (Elimination) or Phase 2 (Reintroduction). It may only be considered during Phase 3 (Maintenance) after your Certified LEAP Therapist has confirmed that all 4 substances scored Green on your individual MRT results.

Products with 3 or more MRT panel triggers require individualized evaluation. Do not attempt to self-assess — your CLT has the clinical training to weigh multiple reactive substances and potential cross-reactivity.
