Actilin 20 Tablets

Overview

Actilin 20 Tablets is a choline bitartrate dietary supplement supplied as a pack of 20 tablets. Choline is an essential nutrient related to B-vitamin metabolism and is involved in several body functions, including normal nerve signalling, cell membrane structure, lipid transport and liver fat metabolism. This product is commonly selected when additional choline intake is advised by a doctor, pharmacist or nutrition professional.

Because Actilin is a supplement and not a substitute for a balanced diet or medical treatment, it should be used carefully according to professional advice, especially by people with ongoing medical conditions, pregnant or breastfeeding women, older adults, and anyone taking regular medicines.
