MRT Safety Assessment

It also includes ‘natural flavors,’ which are considered unknown variables because they may contain untested or hidden substances. Because of the triggers and the unknown flavoring components, this product is inappropriate for the Phase 1 elimination period.

Understanding These Triggers

⚗️
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.

🍋
Lemon

Lemon is tested as a standalone citrus substance on the MRT panel. It appears in beverages, dressings, marinades, and as a flavoring agent. Distinct from citric acid sensitivity.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 2 identified triggers, this product falls into the moderate risk category. It may be suitable for Phase 2 reintroduction under practitioner guidance, depending on your individual MRT results.

If the specific triggers identified in this product scored Green on your personal MRT panel, your CLT may approve it for controlled reintroduction. If they scored Yellow or Red, this product should be avoided until cleared.
