Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product is classified as high risk due to the presence of five MRT-tested substances, including both food-based triggers and chemical additives. Maltodextrin is a common derivative of corn, and the presence of artificial sweeteners and colors (Aspartame and Yellow 5) makes this unsuitable for the elimination and reintroduction phases of the LEAP protocol. Additionally, the presence of ‘natural flavor’ introduces unknown variables.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
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.
Corn derivatives are among the hardest triggers to avoid. Found as corn syrup, cornstarch, modified food starch, dextrose, maltodextrin, and citric acid in thousands of processed products.
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is MRT-tested. Covers black, green, white, and oolong teas. Distinct from caffeine sensitivity — you may react to tea proteins but not caffeine, or vice versa.
An artificial sweetener tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found in diet sodas, sugar-free gum, and "light" yogurts. Some patients show significant mediator release to aspartame.
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 5 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 5 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.
