Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 6 MRT-tested substances, including chemical sweeteners, synthetic dyes, and food-derived components. Specifically, it contains Aspartame, FD&C Yellow #5, and FD&C Yellow #6. Soy is present via soy lecithin, and coconut is present as partially hydrogenated oil. Furthermore, ‘natural flavoring’ is an unknown source of potential reactive substances. Due to the high number of triggers, this product is excluded from Phase 1 and Phase 2. This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sunset Yellow FCF is a synthetic azo dye tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found in cereals, snack foods, candy, and some medications. Banned in several countries outside the US.
What This Means For Your Diet
With 6 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 6 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.
