Lithium orotate is a compound consisting of lithium, an alkali metal, and orotic acid, a natural substance involved in the metabolism of folic acid and vitamin B12. Unlike lithium carbonate and lithium citrate, which are used in higher doses to treat bipolar disorder and other psychiatric conditions, lithium orotate is often marketed as a dietary supplement. It is promoted for its potential to provide lithium’s benefits at much lower doses.

  Supplemental Benefits of Lithium Orotate:

Mood Enhancement: At lower doses, lithium orotate may help stabilize mood, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and enhance overall emotional well-being.

Reduced Irritability: It may help reduce irritability and aggression.

Brain Health Maintenance: Supports overall brain health and may help prevent age-related cognitive decline.

Improved Focus and Clarity: Users report improved focus, mental clarity, and cognitive performance.

Forms and dosage:

Lithium orotate is typically the only form of lithium available over-the-counter (OTC) as a dietary supplement. Other forms of lithium, such as lithium carbonate and lithium citrate, are prescription medications used to treat conditions like bipolar disorder and are not available OTC.

  Daily dose: 5 – 10 mg of elemental lithium.

For example: 5 mg Lithium (from Lithium Orotate)
