Overactive secretion of chemicals like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the brain causes degeneration of nerves, due to which you may lose the ability to control your thoughts, emotions, or movements. This Ticfree 25 Tablet works by reducing the overactivity of these natural substances in the brain that transmit signals between the nerves and, in turn, lower brain signals that trigger involuntary muscle movements.

Huntington's disease is a condition in which bodily movements cannot be controlled. People with this disease have excess stores of certain natural substances secreted by the brain, causing uncontrollable body movements. Ticfree 25 Tablet acts by depleting the availability of these extra chemicals that affect the activity of muscles and nerves. These movements may be sudden, irregular, shaky, and jerky. You can experience dizziness, lightheadedness, decreased appetite, difficulty speaking, and trouble swallowing. This disease occurs when the genes from the ancestors or immediate family members are passed to the next generations. It is an inherited disease, and not everyone gets it.
