Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 3 MRT-tested substances: Citric Acid, Caffeine, and Corn. While Citric Acid and Caffeine are direct chemical matches, Corn is identified as the primary industrial source for both Citric Acid and Caramel Color in the United States. Additionally, the inclusion of ‘natural flavors’ introduces unknown variables that may contain further panel substances such as vanillin or salicylic acid. Due to the presence of 3 identified triggers, this product is categorized as high risk and should be avoided until the maintenance phase under professional supervision.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
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.
Caffeine is tested as a chemical substance on the MRT panel. Found in coffee, tea, chocolate, energy drinks, and some medications. Sensitivity is to the compound itself, not the beverage.
Corn derivatives are among the hardest triggers to avoid. Found as corn syrup, cornstarch, modified food starch, dextrose, maltodextrin, and citric acid in thousands of processed products.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 3 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 3 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.
