Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 4 MRT-tested substances including Green Pea, Corn, Beet, and Carrageenan. Additionally, it contains ‘natural flavor,’ which is an unknown variable that may contain other tested substances such as specific berries (Blueberry, Raspberry, Strawberry). Due to the trigger count exceeding two and the presence of unknown flavor components, this product is classified as high risk and is not suitable for the early phases of the LEAP protocol.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Green pea is an MRT-tested legume increasingly used as pea protein in plant-based meats, protein powders, and dairy alternatives. Also found in soups and frozen vegetable blends.
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.
A seaweed-derived thickener tested on the MRT panel. Found in dairy alternatives, ice cream, deli meats, and protein shakes. Increasingly scrutinized for its inflammatory potential.
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.
