Lithium Orotate 20 mg — Trace-Mineral Support for Mood and Mental Function
Lithium is an essential trace element — present in soil, water, and food at levels that vary wildly by region — and low-dose research has linked it to mood steadiness, emotional resilience, memory, and healthy behavior patterns.* This is nutritional lithium at 20 mg, orders of magnitude below prescription doses, in the bioavailable orotate salt.
Who I reach for it with: mood-steadiness support — the irritable, reactive pattern; memory and healthy-aging protocols, where lithium's neuro-supportive research is growing; patients stepping up from the 5 mg dose under practitioner guidance.
What makes it different: The orotate form crosses into tissue efficiently at low doses — the whole point of nutritional lithium is meaningful support without prescription-level loads or their monitoring burden. It also enhances vitamin B12 and folate transport into cells.*
Protocol fit: The 5 mg version is the starting dose; 20 mg is the practitioner-directed step up. Complements Serotone or NeuroReplete in mood protocols and Super Methyl-SP where B12/folate delivery matters.
FAQ — Is this like prescription lithium? Same element, roughly 1/40th the dose — nutritional territory, not pharmaceutical. Anyone on prescription lithium must involve their prescriber.
FAQ — 5 mg or 20 mg? Start low; move up only with practitioner guidance.
Suggested Use: Take as directed by your healthcare professional. 90 capsules per bottle.
