Is Codeage Wild Caught Marine Collagen Peptides Tested for BMAA?Updated 7 hours ago

Codeage does not routinely test Wild Caught Marine Collagen Peptides for BMAA. BMAA is not typically associated with the wild-caught snapper and cod used for this collagen, and it is a water-soluble amino acid, which is the kind of component the washing steps in collagen preparation are used to remove. For these reasons, routine BMAA testing is not considered necessary for this type of raw material.


What is BMAA?

BMAA stands for β-N-methylamino-L-alanine. It is a naturally occurring amino acid that is not used to build proteins. Discussions of BMAA typically relate to certain marine algae and to shark sources.


What fish is Codeage Marine Collagen Peptides made from?

Codeage Wild Caught Marine Collagen Peptides are made from wild-caught snapper and cod. Marine algae and shark are not used in our collagen production.


Why is BMAA testing not considered necessary?

Two points explain our approach:

  • BMAA is not typically associated with the fish used to make this collagen.
  • BMAA is a water-soluble amino acid, and collagen preparation includes washing steps used to remove water-soluble components.
