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.

That has been my experience with it too. I started combining it with psyllium to get the gel forming partially fermentable properties of fiber. My goal with increasing fiber intake was two fold, to have a prebiotic for SCFA but also something that would lower cholesterol and most of those studies for the latter are done with psyllium.

Yeah, the Thorne one is 100% fermentable. It's not balanced at all. That surprised me a bit. Ours is going to be exactly what you are looking for. It's going to give you all the prebiotic and SFCA effects, but also the bulking effects. We are also designing it to pair perfectly with InfiniGreens and our new probiotics, so it will be a thought out system. That's one thing that I don't see any of our competitors doing; probably because they are not actually taking their own products, so they don't think about practical implications of combos. We design Cistamax, Eurycomax, and Tribugen to work together. We design Berbelean, Cyatherm, and our new muscle recomposition stack to work together. We design InfiniGreens, our fiber, and our probiotics to work together. Then we also assume people will be combining products from different categories, because I sure am, so we make sure every stack we make sits perfectly in a whole thought out system.
