Clinical Product Assessment

MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product contains 3 MRT-tested substances: Orange (derived from orange blossoms), Cane Sugar (listed as sugar), and Citric Acid. It also contains ‘natural flavor’, which is an unspecified ingredient in the LEAP protocol. Although the product name includes ‘iced tea’, the ingredient list for this SKU specifies an herbal infusion (hibiscus and orange blossoms) rather than Camellia sinensis, so ‘Tea’ is not flagged as a trigger. Due to the presence of 3 identified triggers, it is categorized as High Risk.

Understanding These Triggers

🍊
Orange

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.

🍬
Cane Sugar

Cane sugar sensitivity is specific to sugarcane-derived sweeteners and is distinct from glucose intolerance. Look for it in ingredient lists as sucrose, cane juice, or turbinado sugar.

⚗️
Citric Acid

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.

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.
