Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 7 MRT-tested substances, including primary food triggers and multiple chemical additives. The presence of Corn Syrup, Sugar (Cane), and Glycerol constitutes a high trigger load. Additionally, the inclusion of Soy Lecithin necessitates flagging for both Lecithin (Soy) and its parent source, Soybean. The presence of synthetic chemicals such as Aspartame and FD&C Red #40, combined with ‘natural flavors’ which may hide additional reactive substances, makes this product unsuitable for the elimination or early reintroduction phases of the LEAP protocol.

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.
Glycerin is a chemical additive tested on the MRT panel. Used as a humectant and sweetener in protein bars, toothpaste, medications, and processed foods. Can be derived from plant or animal fats.
Soy lecithin is one of the most ubiquitous food additives, used as an emulsifier in chocolate, baked goods, and margarine. Even small amounts can trigger mediator release in sensitive patients.
Soy-derived ingredients appear in a wide range of processed foods including soy lecithin, soybean oil, and textured soy protein. One of the most prevalent hidden triggers.
An artificial sweetener tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found in diet sodas, sugar-free gum, and "light" yogurts. Some patients show significant mediator release to aspartame.
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.
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.
