Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 7 MRT-tested substances, including primary calorie sources like Cane Sugar and Corn Syrup, and multiple chemical additives. The presence of four synthetic food dyes (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and Blue 1) and Citric Acid derivatives places this product in the high-risk category. Furthermore, the use of unknown natural and artificial flavors introduces risk for patients sensitive to various fruit extracts (Cherry, Lemon, Strawberry, Orange) which are themselves MRT-tested substances but not explicitly listed in the base ingredients.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
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.
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 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.
Allura Red AC is the most widely used food dye and one of the most reactive chemical additives on the MRT panel. Found in candy, beverages, cereals, snack foods, and even some medications.
Tartrazine (Yellow #5) is an azo dye on the MRT chemical panel. Found in processed foods, beverages, and medications. Cross-reactivity with aspirin sensitivity has been documented in clinical literature.
Sunset Yellow FCF is a synthetic azo dye tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found in cereals, snack foods, candy, and some medications. Banned in several countries outside the US.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 7 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 7 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.
