Clinical Product Assessment

MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product contains three substances explicitly listed on the MRT 176 panel: Onion, Garlic, and Citric Acid. Additionally, the ingredient ‘spices’ is a known hidden source for various tested substances (such as Black Pepper, Cumin, or Chili Pepper), categorizing it as an unknown risk. Because it exceeds the threshold of two triggers and contains unknown components, this product is considered high risk and is not suitable for Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol.

Understanding These Triggers

🧅
Onion

Onion is tested as a standalone substance on the MRT panel. It appears in seasonings, soups, sauces, and most savory processed foods. Often hidden as "dehydrated onion" or "onion powder" in spice blends.

🧄
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 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.
