Trace-Mineral Lithium, at a Nutritional Dose
Lithium is a trace element found in rocks, mineral springs, ocean water and nearly all animal tissue. Vital Nutrients describes it this way: "Lithium is an alkali metal found in trace amounts of most rocks, as well as mineral springs, ocean water, and nearly all vertebrate tissue." This is the 20 mg capsule.

How It Fits Into a Protocol
The 5 mg capsule is the lower-strength option, and 20 mg is the step up when your practitioner calls for it. Lithium orotate often sits beside Serotone or NeuroReplete in brain-nutrient plans, and next to Super Methyl-SP where B12 and folate are part of the plan.
