Popular Nollywood actor and film producer, Bolanle Ninalowo, has become brand ambassador for Shalina Healthcare, a pharmaceutical company.
Ninalowo was made brand ambassador of one of the company’s brands, “Polygel”.
Introducing Ninalowo, Sandeep Sahu, West African Deputy General Manager, Marketing of the company, said the decision was deliberately made by the pharmaceutical company.
Sahu said Ninalowo was made brand ambassador based on the similarities between the personality of the actor and Polygel as a brand.
He said, “qualities and values that make Polygel to stand out and be unique among all other brands of antacid are also traceable to Ninalowo as an actor.
“It is interesting to note that, just like Polygel, as an antacid brand, Ninalowo as an actor is also popular, top rated, efficient, adventurous, professional, proven, tested and trusted.
“Choosing Ninalowo as our ambassador is with the conviction that his values are in line with what Polygel as a brand and by extension, Shalina as a company represent.”

“And it also contains the anti-flatulent agent, simethicone.
“As a result, it is helpful in relief of indigestion, heartburn, sour stomach, gastritis, stomach discomfort due to excess gas, hyperacidity and ulceration in the digestive tract.
“Polygel is scientifically proven and well reported in medical literature, furthermore, Polygel offers a rapid and longer-lasting calming effect on stomach acidity.”
