Clinical Product Assessment

MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product contains 7 MRT-tested substances, including multiple synthetic colors (Blue 1, Red 40, and Yellow 5), chemical additives like Aspartame and Soy Lecithin, and food triggers including Coconut and Soybean. The ingredient ‘natural and artificial flavoring’ is also flagged as an unknown variable. Due to the high trigger count and the inclusion of multiple reactive chemicals, this product is contraindicated for Phase 1 and Phase 2 patients. This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance.

Understanding These Triggers

⚗️
Aspartame

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.

🔵
Blue #1

Brilliant Blue FCF is a synthetic food dye tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found in candy, beverages, ice cream, and some processed foods. Often combined with Yellow #5 to create green coloring.

🥥
Coconut

Coconut is tested as an individual substance on the MRT panel. Found as coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut cream, and coconut flour — all common substitutes in dairy-free and paleo diets.

🔴
FD&C Red #40

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.

🧪
Lecithin (Soy)

Soy lecithin is one of the most ubiquitous food additives, used as an emulsifier in chocolate, baked goods, and margarine. Even small amounts can trigger mediator release in sensitive patients.

🫘
Soybean

Soy-derived ingredients appear in a wide range of processed foods including soy lecithin, soybean oil, and textured soy protein. One of the most prevalent hidden triggers.

🟡
FD&C Yellow #5

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 7 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 7 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.
