Given the memory issues a lot of us face I thought that this was interesting
Another article was a little more skeptical

I wonder if some part of our memory issues might be related to our inability to do normal levels of exercise. Obviously sedentary people do not have our levels of brain fog etc but interesting maybe, particularly since it seems that cathepsin B is stimulated by ALCAR.
Anyway though it might be interesting.

Researchers have identified a protein released by our muscles when we exercise that also stimulates nerve growth in the part of the brain associated with memory.

This previously unrecognized function of cathepsin B may be controversial. The protein is known to be secreted by tumors and has been implicated in cell death and amyloid plaque formation in the brain. Other studies have found that cathepsin B is neuroprotective and can clear amyloid plaques. van Praag hypothesizes that different levels of the protein and different physiological conditions may yield different effects.
