Is r-(Dipeptide-43 Mussel Polypeptide-2 Dipeptide-44 Mussel Oligopeptide-1 Tetrapeptide-70 Mussel Polypeptide-2 Dipeptide-40 sh-Hexapeptide-5) vegetarian?

This is a single-chain fusion peptide produced by fermentation in E. coli, from a synthetic gene fusing sequences based on mussel-derived peptide fragments (Dipeptide-43, Mussel Polypeptide-2, Dipeptide-44, Mussel Oligopeptide-1, Tetrapeptide-70, Dipeptide-40) and sh-Hexapeptide-5. The fusion peptide contains 211 amino acids and may include disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. As a recombinant fermentation product, it does not require animal-derived raw material.

An ingredient is considered vegetarian if it avoids components derived from killing an animal.

Classifications are made to the best of our knowledge based on available scientific and regulatory sources. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of every entry, errors in the sources we draw from can always occur. This tool also cannot account for cross-contamination, which depends entirely on individual suppliers and producers. If you believe a classification is incorrect, you can report an issue.
