About Strolin Syrup

Strolin Syrup is a chemical that naturally occurs in the body which is responsible for regulating many vital processes in the brain and the body. Strolin Syrup works by increasing a brain chemical called phosphatidylcholine which improves brain function. This syrup also decreases brain tissue damage during a brain injury by repairing damaged nerve cells.

Strolin Syrup has also been found to influence the cognitive abilities and improve nerve transmission. Hence, Strolin Syrup treats alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, cerebrovascular disease such as stroke, head trauma, age-related memory loss, attention deficit-hyperactive disorder, parkinson’s disease, and glaucoma.

The common side effects include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, diarrhea and nausea. The safety of taking this syrup if you are pregnant or breast-feeding is unknown. Avoid use to stay on the safe side.
