Clinical Product Assessment

MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product contains 6 MRT-tested substances. It is a dairy-based product that matches the ‘Cottage Cheese’, ‘Cow’s Milk’, and ‘Whey’ panel entries. It also contains ‘Carob’ (via carob bean gum/locust bean gum) and the chemical additive ‘Carrageenan’. Furthermore, the inclusion of mono and diglycerides flags for ‘Glycerin/Glycerol’. Due to the presence of multiple triggers, this product is categorized as high-risk and is generally unsuitable for the early elimination phases of the LEAP protocol.

Understanding These Triggers

🥛
Cow's Milk

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.

🥛
Whey

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.

🍫
Carob

Carob is an MRT-tested legume often used as a chocolate substitute. Found in health foods, carob chips, and as locust bean gum (a common thickener) in ice cream and baked goods.

⚗️
Carrageenan

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.

⚗️
Glycerin/Glycerol

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.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 6 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 6 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.
