Clinical Product Assessment
MRT 176 Panel Safety Assessment
Clinical Narrative
This seasoning blend contains 4 distinct substances monitored on the MRT 176 panel. Both Red Pepper and Chili Pepper map to the ‘Chili Pepper’ food category and contain the tested chemical ‘Capsaicin’. The product also contains ‘Black Pepper’ and ‘Garlic’ (in powder and dehydrated forms). Furthermore, the presence of ‘spices’ introduces an unknown variable, as this term often hides other MRT-tested items like Cumin or Oregano. Due to the high number of triggers, this product is unsuitable for the elimination or reintroduction phases.

This is procedural data interpretation, not medical guidance. Always consult your Certified LEAP Therapist.
Understanding These Triggers
Chili pepper (Capsicum) is tested on the MRT panel. It appears in hot sauces, spice blends, seasoned meats, and many Mexican, Asian, and Indian-cuisine-inspired processed foods.
Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is tested on the MRT panel. One of the most ubiquitous spices worldwide — found in virtually every seasoned or prepared food. Often hidden under "spices" on labels.
Garlic is an MRT-tested substance found in seasoning blends, sauces, and many processed foods. Often listed as "garlic powder," "dehydrated garlic," or hidden in "spices" or "natural flavors."
What This Means For Your Diet
With 4 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 4 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.
