Only the delivery differs
It is important to acknowledge that the relationships we found between AC levels, MDD diagnosis, depression severity and depression profiles may be explained to some extent by shared distal environmental and lifestyle factors (e.g., comorbid somatic diseases, sedentary behavior, smoking, high-fat diet, alcohol consumption [61,62,63,64] that could act as confounder or mediators of the association

Das Peptid kann freie Radikale neutralisieren, die eine wesentliche Rolle im Alterungsprozess der Haut spielen
Transport of ALCAR across cell membranes, including the blood-brain barrier, is primarily mediated by the organic cation/carnitine transporter 2 (OCTN2, encoded by SLC22A5), a sodium-dependent transporter expressed on the luminal side of endothelial cells [5]
We focused on it because its considered one of the more stable peptides in this class (a more realistic candidate for oral delivery)
