MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product contains four substances explicitly tested on the MRT 176 panel: Cane Sugar, Citric Acid, Tea, and Carrot. Furthermore, the inclusion of ‘natural flavor’ introduces unknown variables that could contain additional reactive substances. The presence of four known triggers categorizes this product as high risk, requiring practitioner guidance for patients on the LEAP protocol.

Understanding These Triggers

🍬
Cane Sugar

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.

⚗️
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.

🍵
Tea

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.

🥕
Carrot

Carrot is an individually tested vegetable on the MRT panel. Found in soups, baby food, juice blends, and many vegetable-based processed foods. Related to celery in the Apiaceae family.

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.
