Any advantage to ArginoCarn (ALCAR Arginate) over ALCAR taken with or without Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate

I can't seem to find much information on this stuff that's readily available or well organized (mostly due to laziness and being busy with other stuff). Is it a dipeptide? Are there any advantages to taking it over ALCAR with or without Arginine? Is it a waste to invest in if you already have both ALCAR and AAKG? I can't seem to find any studies comparing this formulation to ALCAR or ALCAR+arginine. If it is a dipeptide, does it have any special properties? I'll look into it deeper if I get really curious but I'm busy right now and wondering if this is just a redundant formulation or if there's any special flare to it.

I have not really researched it much, but it appears to be ALCAR molecularly bonded with arginine, then turned into a DiHCL salt. I would have to see what type of bond it is, though. If it is a peptide bond, then it would be a dipeptide. However, it could be covalently bonded, too. Then it would be more like a new compound. The patent holders just say "molecularly bonded," though. I will have to contact them to talk about the science. They are in Italy.
