500g/serving for LCLT and PLCAR yet LCT has .5cc scoop and PLCAR has 1cc scoop?

Hey guys, I just noticed something about my tubs of carnitine and have a question about it.

Why do these 2 products have different sized scoops when both bottles state 1 serving is 500mg?

Im assuming the 1cc=1g?

You have to factor in densities. 1/4tsp is 1.25 cc, and values often range from 400mg-900mg.
ALCAR is denser than LCLT i believe. It seems PLCAR would be less dense than LCLT.

ah, that makes sense.
