MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product is classified as High Risk due to the presence of 4 MRT-tested substances: Coffee, Caffeine, Cane Sugar, and Fructose. Coffee and Sugar contain secondary tested chemicals (Caffeine and Fructose, respectively) which must be accounted for in the MRT/LEAP protocol. Additionally, the ingredient ‘natural flavor’ is an unknown variable that could contain further reactive substances. Given the high trigger count and the inclusion of unknowns, this product is not suitable for early elimination phases and requires practitioner guidance for introduction in Phase 3.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.

Understanding These Triggers

Caffeine

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.

🍬
Cane Sugar

Cane sugar sensitivity is specific to sugarcane-derived sweeteners and is distinct from glucose intolerance. Look for it in ingredient lists as sucrose, cane juice, or turbinado sugar.

🍬
Fructose

Fructose is tested independently from cane sugar on the MRT panel. Found as high-fructose corn syrup, agave nectar, and crystalline fructose. MRT tests inflammatory mediator response, not malabsorption.

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.
