It is stable in gastric juice and resistant to hydrolysis, a unique property that allows researchers to study its systemic effects without rapid enzymatic degradation
However, this theory is not sufficient to explain all mechanisms of depression
The terms are often used interchangeably in supplement and wellness discussions
