Clinical Product Assessment

MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This beverage is classified as High Risk due to the presence of 5 MRT-tested substances, including multiple chemical food colors (Yellow 5, Blue 1) and a synthetic sweetener (Aspartame). The product also contains ‘natural flavor,’ which is an unknown variable that may contain additional tested substances such as Pineapple or Mango in a concentrated or chemical-carrier form. Due to the combination of chemical additives and multiple direct matches, it is not suitable for Phase 1 or 2 of the LEAP protocol.

Understanding These Triggers

🍵
Tea

Tea (Camellia sinensis) is MRT-tested. Covers black, green, white, and oolong teas. Distinct from caffeine sensitivity — you may react to tea proteins but not caffeine, or vice versa.

⚗️
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.

⚗️
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.

🟡
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.

🔵
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.

What This Means For Your Diet

With 5 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 5 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.
