Î²-Methylamino-L-alanine, or BMAA, is a non-proteinogenic amino acid produced by cyanobacteria.tudies on human brain tissue of ALS/PDC, ALS, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and neurological controls indicated that BMAA is present in non-genetic progressive neurodegenerative disease but not in controls or genetic-based Huntington's disease.
Think again. Researchers at the University of Miami have discovered high concentrations of Î²-N-Methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) in shark fins, a neurotoxin linked to neurodegenerative diseases in humans including Alzheimerâs and Lou Gehrig disease (also known as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS).rof. Mash and her colleagues had published a study in 2009, demonstrating that patients dying with diagnoses of Alzheimerâs Disease and ALS had unusually high levels of BMAA in their brains of up to 256 ng/mg, whereas normal healthy aged people had no BMAA, or only trace quantities of the toxin present.
