Analysis of β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) in spirulina-containing supplements by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
…we have analyzed ten spirulina-containing samples for the presence of BMAA; six pure spirulina samples from two separate raw materials suppliers, and four commercially-available multi-ingredient products containing 1.45 g of spirulina per 8.5 g serving. BMAA was not detected at low limits of detection (80 ng/g dry weight) in any of these product samples.
As Dr. Gregor points out very clearly here is that the main source of this BMAA is fish, seafood, etc.
Our spiruina is grown in enclosed greenhouses. We begin with a single perfect cell and grow our culture in a lab under controlled conditions. Our water is about as good as it gets. (Our lab tests available). There are no fish, crabs, oysters, etc. growing along with our spirulina.
