Is sh-Oligopeptide-78 Tri (s-Bay Scallop Nonapeptide-1 Serine) vegetarian?

sh-Oligopeptide-78 Tri (s-Bay Scallop Nonapeptide-1 Serine) is a synthetic fusion peptide consisting of sh-Oligopeptide-78 combined with three repeats of s-Bay Scallop Nonapeptide-1 and serine, containing 43 amino acids in the standard sequence, potentially with disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation. Its name references a bay scallop-derived peptide sequence, though the ingredient itself is produced synthetically or via biotechnology.

An ingredient is considered vegetarian if it avoids components derived from killing an animal.
