How BrandName works
BrandName works by making the brain stay calm and focused. It does so by blocking protein channels called receptors, and it mainly acts on the dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors present in the brain. This results in a decrease in the levels of chemicals that are responsible for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, thereby curing them.
