Is Bifida/Cornus Officinalis Fruit/Angelica Acutiloba Root/Deer Antler/Thymus Vulgaris Leaf Ferment Filtrate vegan?

This is a fermentation filtrate produced from Cornus officinalis fruit, Angelica acutiloba root, deer antler, and Thymus vulgaris leaf using Bifidobacterium. The inclusion of deer antler, an animal-derived material typically harvested by cutting antlers (sometimes involving injury to the animal), makes this ingredient non-vegan and non-vegetarian.

An ingredient is considered vegan if it contains no animal-derived components at any point in its production.
