MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

The clinical assessment of this product identifies four MRT-tested substances. Sour cherry juice maps directly to the Cherry food panel and is an inherent source of Fructose. Based on standard formulation for the Green brand, the product also contains added Citric Acid and Sodium Benzoate (which maps to Benzoic Acid). Additionally, the presence of ‘natural flavors’ introduces unknown variables, making this product unsuitable for early elimination phases.

Understanding These Triggers

🍒
Cherry

Cherry is an MRT-tested fruit found in juices, preserves, baked goods, and cherry flavoring. Maraschino cherries contain additional chemical additives that may also be reactive.

🍬
Fructose

Fructose is tested independently from cane sugar on the MRT panel. Found as high-fructose corn syrup, agave nectar, and crystalline fructose. MRT tests inflammatory mediator response, not malabsorption.

⚗️
Citric Acid

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.

⚗️
Benzoic Acid

A preservative tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found as sodium benzoate in soft drinks, pickles, salad dressings, and condiments. Also occurs naturally in cranberries and cinnamon.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 4 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 4 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.
