Clinical Product Assessment

MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product contains 2 MRT-tested substances: Citric Acid (found in citric acid and sodium citrate) and FD&C Yellow #5. Additionally, the inclusion of ‘natural flavor’ introduces unknown variables, as it may contain extracts from Lemon or Lime, both of which are tested substances on the MRT 176 panel. These factors make the product unsuitable for the Phase 1 elimination diet and necessitate testing or practitioner guidance for Phase 2.
