by Monster Energy CompanyMRT 176 Panel Triggers Identified
Clinical Product Assessment
Monster Energy Company manufactures this product, which has been analyzed against the full MRT 176 panel — comprising 149 foods and 27 chemical additives — to identify potential immune-mediated sensitivities.
MRT Safety Assessment
The product is classified as High Risk due to the presence of three MRT-tested substances: Citric Acid (found as both citric acid and sodium citrate), Caffeine, and Benzoic Acid (derived from sodium benzoate). Additionally, the inclusion of ‘natural flavors’ introduces unknown variables that may contain additional triggers. This product is not suitable for Phase 1 or Phase 2 of the LEAP protocol and should only be consumed during Phase 3 under the supervision of a Certified LEAP Therapist.
Risk Summary
- Risk Classification: High Risk
- MRT Triggers Identified: 3
- Safe Ingredients: 9
- Unknown/Ambiguous: 1 (natural flavors)
- LEAP Phase Compatibility: Phase 3 — Practitioner Guided
Flagged Ingredient Mapping
The following ingredients were identified as matching substances on the MRT 176 panel:
| Ingredient | Maps To (MRT Panel) | Match Type |
|---|---|---|
| citric acid | Citric Acid | Chemical Match |
| sodium citrate | Citric Acid | Chemical Match |
| caffeine | Caffeine | Direct Match |
| sodium benzoate | Benzoic Acid | Chemical Match |
Unknown / Ambiguous Ingredients
The following ingredients could not be definitively mapped to the MRT 176 panel: natural flavors. Patients should treat these as potential triggers until MRT testing confirms safety.
LEAP Protocol Guidance
With 3 MRT-tested substances identified, this product is not recommended during Phase 1 or Phase 2. Phase 3 (Maintenance) patients should consult their Certified LEAP Therapist.

Assessment Methodology
This assessment was generated using Wellbloom’s automated clinical analysis pipeline. Each ingredient was cross-referenced against the complete MRT 176 panel — including 149 food antigens and 27 chemical additives.
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.
Caffeine is tested as a chemical substance on the MRT panel. Found in coffee, tea, chocolate, energy drinks, and some medications. Sensitivity is to the compound itself, not the beverage.
A preservative tested on the MRT chemical panel. Found as sodium benzoate in soft drinks, pickles, salad dressings, and condiments. Also occurs naturally in cranberries and cinnamon.
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.
