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.

Thornes fiber blend has Larch Arabinogalactan. I am guessing you tested that one? It has guar gum, pectin (fermentable) and rice bran ( insoluble). I think something like green banana flour for butyrate, or yacon for FOS which would also add some sweetness would be great. Cant wait for both the fiber product and the probiotics

I have not tested it in the lab, because we have only tested ram materials from suppliers so far, and it is a $650 test from Eurofins for each sample we send... so very expensive testing.
I will say that I have personally taken Thorne's FiberMend, and I get really gassy on it. It's 100% fermentable fiber, and not really balanced in its approach. You need insoluble and non-fermentable fiber as well, to both give structure to your stool and gel up to increase satiation. Our fiber stack is going to be a 1:1 mixture of fermentable and non-fermentable fibers. Also, the fermentable ones will be a big mix targeting many different probiotic strains. This will help keep biodiversity of the GI tract up.
