What makes Erinamax Vegetarian but not Vegan?

I was wondering what makes Erinamax a vegetarian product and not a vegan product? Should note that I've been vegan for over 10 years. I absolutely love using the Lions Mane 1:1 extract and the 8:1 extract and have been using them for a while now. I wanted to compare the benefits of Erinacine-A in Erinamax but noticed that in the Dietary Information section of the product page it's labeled as 100% vegetarian and not 100% vegan like most of the other ND supplements.

This is why I love Nootropics Depot. Even though I am bummed that Erinamax is not vegan I really love the transparency of your company! Thank you for answering my question. I suppose that milk peptone is absolutely necessary for the process or is the most cost effective peptide mix to use in the process. I still have my fingers crossed for a fully vegan Erinacine product someday!

Yes, it is necessary, unfortunately. We are working on other high erinacine A lion's mane products using a different process that will be vegan, though. I am hopeful we can reach similar levels through a different process. We are 30% of the way there already.
