Clinical Product Assessment

MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment

Clinical Narrative

This product contains three MRT-tested chemical substances: Citric Acid (and its derivative sodium citrate), Glycerin/Glycerol, and FD&C Red #40. Additionally, multiple ingredients including ‘natural flavor’, ‘modified food starch’, and ‘caramel color’ represent unknown sources that may contain hidden MRT triggers such as Corn, Wheat, or additional chemicals. Due to the trigger count and the presence of complex unknowns, this product is not suitable for early elimination phases.

Understanding These Triggers

⚗️
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.

⚗️
Glycerin/Glycerol

Glycerin is a chemical additive tested on the MRT panel. Used as a humectant and sweetener in protein bars, toothpaste, medications, and processed foods. Can be derived from plant or animal fats.

🔴
FD&C Red #40

Allura Red AC is the most widely used food dye and one of the most reactive chemical additives on the MRT panel. Found in candy, beverages, cereals, snack foods, and even some medications.

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.
