Dear sir

Usually stroke patients need long time to recover.. so they might need some neuroprotective agents such as citicholine which helps for protecting neurons and myelination.
Secondly stroke patients need methylcobalamine along with micronutrients and vitamins such as magnisium and zinc.

so supplementation of fortified vitamins with ginseng which comes in a single capsule formulation will improve the energy levels. But make sure that you consult your doctor before taking any medicines as indivisual tablets has got their own side effects and allergies

Thanks
