I read the following in one of the commercial:
Question: Is it even grammatical correct to write sentences without subject like these? And why verbs with "S"? How about verbs without "s"?


BENEFITS

  • Aids in detoxification of cells.
  • Increased cellular hydration.
  • Helps increase thought processing, mental awareness.
  • More energy and overall vitality.

The understood subject is the product being advertised, hence the third person singular form of the verb.

This is OK in advertising language.
