Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This product contains 6 MRT-tested substances, including several chemical additives and one food trigger (Orange). The presence of ‘natural flavors’ also introduces unknown variables. Due to the high density of chemical triggers such as Aspartame, Caffeine, and FD&C Yellow #5, this product is categorized as high risk and is unsuitable for the early phases of the LEAP protocol.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Orange is an MRT-tested citrus fruit. Found in juice, marmalade, candied peel, and as natural orange flavoring. Cross-reactivity with other citrus fruits is not assumed on the MRT panel.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
