Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains three MRT-tested chemical substances: Citric Acid and the synthetic colorants FD&C Red #40 and FD&C Blue #1. These ingredients are standard in Mars-manufactured berry-flavored mint products. Because it contains at least three chemical triggers, it is classified as High Risk for patients on the LEAP protocol. Furthermore, the inclusion of ‘natural and artificial flavors’ introduces unknown variables that may contain additional reactive components, making this product unsuitable for Phase 1 or Phase 2.

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.
Allura Red AC is the most widely used food dye and one of the most reactive chemical additives on the MRT panel. Found in candy, beverages, cereals, snack foods, and even some medications.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 3 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 3 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.
