Why Yogurt is Vegetarian:
Yogurt is made from cow’s milk (or other animal milk, such as goat or sheep) that undergoes fermentation with beneficial bacteria, like Lactobacillus and Streptococcus strains. No animals are harmed or killed in the production of milk used for yogurt. It aligns with the principles of a vegetarian diet.
For Vegans:
Yogurt is not considered vegan because it is made from animal milk. Vegans avoid all animal products, including dairy.
In the U.S., about 4% of Americans are vegetarians, and 1% are vegans. Adding yogurt powder is to support the beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria to enhance balance of the healthy vaginal microbiome. Yogurt is natural and made from milk. Lacto- means milk, and Lactobacillus means milk-bacterium. Thus, milk provides the best nutrients for supporting Lactobacillus. Since 99% of people in the US can accept yogurt, we added this ingredient to boost the supportive role of NeuEve suppositories.
Are there products suitable for vegan to use?
Yes. If you care vegan and cannot accept NeuEve suppositories due to yogurt powder as an ingredients and beeswax as an oil thickener, you can use Feminine Moisture Support (sea buckthorn oil) and Bone Support to manage vaginal dryness. If you can do a bulk purchase of 12 packs of NeuEve suppositories for 1 year of supply, we can do the customized order for you without beeswax and yogurt.
