Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 8 MRT-tested substances, including several synthetic food dyes (Yellow #5, Yellow #6, Blue #2), dairy derivatives (Cow’s Milk, Whey), and soy-based ingredients. The high concentration of reactive chemicals and potential hidden components in natural and artificial flavors makes this product unsuitable for the early stages of the LEAP protocol.

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.
Whey is a dairy-derived protein tested separately from whole cow's milk on the MRT panel. Found in protein powders, baked goods, processed cheese, and many sports nutrition products.
One of the most commonly reactive substances on the MRT panel. Found in dairy products and many processed foods as whey, casein, or milk solids. Cross-reactive with goat and sheep milk in some patients.
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.
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.
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.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 8 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 8 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.
